Ding, Ding, and now over to our announcer - in the red corner (no mention of their weight) from the fighting city of ……… The Plonker Club counter says that it is less than 3 days until Gordon Ramsay’s puts the latest group of wannabe head chefs through Hell in order to futher their careers, but mostly for our entertainment. As has now become traditional, Hell’s Kitchen will start with two teams, separated on the basis of gender, beginning with the first half of the ladies that make up the red team! Andrea Andrea - Gordon Ramsays Hells Kitchen Season 5 Hometown: Reading, PA Age: 30 Occupation: Line Cook Experience: Line Cook, Beverly Hills Tavern Owner/Operator, White Linen Catering Private Chef, Sugar Foods Inc. Line Cook, The Chef’s Toque Catering Kitchen Experience: 6 years Culinary School: Bachelor’s in Culinary Arts Management from The Culinary Institute of America Notes: Andrea is underestimated in the kitchen due to her petite size and because she is a woman, but that is exactly how she likes it. Andrea says that when they hired her at the Beverly Hills Tavern that they got a two for one deal since she is not only the Line Cook but does many of the duties of a Sous Chef. Carol Carol - Gordon Ramsays Hells Kitchen Season 5 Hometown: Knoxville, TN Age: 30 Occupation: Sous Chef Experience: Chef, Peerless Restaurant Sous Chef, Northshore Brasserie Executive Sous Chef, The Orangery Chef and Kitchen Manager, Edison Park Steakhouse Cook, Mesa Grill in Caesar’s Palace Kitchen Experience:  4 years Culinary School: Le Cordon Bleu of Las Vegas Notes: Carol’s petite size doesn’t reflect her huge passion for the craft of cooking. This married mother of two works in the only fine dining establishment in Knoxville, Tennessee but, plans on moving when she wins Hell’s Kitchen Coi Coi - Gordon Ramsays Hells Kitchen Season 5 Hometown: Austin, TX Age: 22 Occupation: Café Cook Experience: Pantry Chef (Tournant), Satellite Bistro & Bar Garde Manger Manager, Dow Chemical Garde Manger, Omni Hotel Kitchen Experience: 8 years Culinary School: Art Institute of Houston Notes: Coi appears to be sugar and spice and everything nice, but watch out, because there appears to be a storm brewing in this fiery Texan! This self-proclaimed diva in the kitchen wants to show America that a girly-girl can win Hell’s Kitchen. Although she started cooking at a very young age, it was not until a high school culinary arts course that she realized she had a knack for being in the kitchen. Coi hopes her years of experience pay off in Hell’s Kitchen. Colleen Colleen - Gordon Ramsays Hells Kitchen Season 5 Hometown: Papillion, NE Age: 41 Occupation: Cooking School Instructor Experience: Chef/Owner/Instructor, The Classy Gourmet Cooking demo for Cox Kitchen Experience: 14 years Culinary School: Self-taught Notes: This happy-go-lucky, “A” personality type chef maintains that she did not choose cooking as a profession, but that it chose her. Colleen currently owns and runs her own cooking school. This self-employed mother of 3 has gotten by with not only her bubbly personality, but her strong cooking skills. Always a perfectionist, she calls people that do not know anything about food “food idiots.” Colleen is a team player, and a doer, and wants to continue her culinary journey in Hell’s Kitchen Round two of introductions for the red team coming shortly (after these words from our sponsors)
