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!

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.

Notes:

Pantry Chef (Tournant), Satellite Bistro & Bar

Garde Manger, Omni Hotel

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

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
