I wanted heather to win it, as she is more experienced and did better overall. I was so happy when her key opened the door.

Lafatem, this is what he says on his new website (where ,by the way, is his selling his own brand of knives):

This website is your link to my life. A lot has happened to me since my tenure with Hell's Kitchen. First off, I bet you're wondering about the out come of the show. In the end I decided, after talking with Lola and a lot of soul searching, that I want to travel my own path and take the opportunity to open my own restaurant. It was a tuff decision, but you know what, I’m ready to follow my dream and make my own mark. With all of that cleared up let me move on to the here and now.

For some reason, when you want to open a multi-million dollar restaurant at a casino on the Las Vegas Strip, it takes more than just winning a reality show. In the mean time I’ve started a custom knife company called Skull and Cleavers. In a few weeks I will update my website and have some knives for sale. I design and make all the knives myself. I promise you some badass blades to come.

I found this at http://www.punkglobe.com/chefmichaelinterview.html about last year's winner.

Punk Globe: You did a good job keeping the secret. Even at your viewing party no one had a clue you won until you opened that door on screen and then at 'Big Wang" all the bottles of Champagne started popping.

Janet asked me to ask you about your grand prize. On the show the actual prize that you won was very vague. It seemed you had either a choice of having your own restaurant or going to London to study with Chef Ramsay. It really did not sound like you would get them both.

Chef Michael: When Gordon asked me that question you mentioned. I thought the same thing. I looked at Lola and said yes I am going with you to London. You know the saying “You give a hungry man a fish- he will be full for a day. But if you teach a hungry man how to fish- he will be full for a lifetime.” I had not signed anything and with him asking me to come to London it was my nature to go with him. This was an opportunity of a lifetime to be part of Gordon Ramsay's empire- he has, nine restaurants.

About a month after winning they flew us to London, we toured all his restaurants and Gordon sat me down and said we really, really like you and we want to have you come to London train and develop for your restaurant. Then you can go start your own restaurant anywhere you want and we will back you. So I will be a business partner with Gordon Ramsay for as long as I have the restaurant. I think Las Vegas is where it is. I have a name as the winner of “Hell’s Kitchen” so why not capitalize on that. Las Vegas is the perfect City with all the tourism. People will want to come to the restaurant just to check out the winner of "Hells Kitchen." I am negotiations with The Palms right now. But nothing is concrete yet.

hard to say isn't it? I wonder when either of the sites was written

by the way, in searching for some dates, I clicked on the links at his site - and it shows a link for Lola (his wife ??) - looks like she is a stripper - and a full nude one at that from the looks of the picture!

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that Virginia got the offer to "work with Chef Ramsey for a year" this year?

Any personal interest aside, I just can't believe that he would let someone with a palate that good just walk out the door.

Heather was on Regis today. She was on the Grilling A Go-Go segment. She created a stuffed steak (stuffed with bleu cheese, cherry tomatoes and seasonings). She also did a grilled potato. She said the the new restaurant does not yet have a name. She looked happy and rested. Her hair was down and she had on a Regis and Kelly blue apron.

Wow, I need to venture out of the BB section more often. I was on vacation for the ending of Hell's Kitchen, but did get to see some of it. My MIL was supposed to tape it for me so I was unconcerned about what I missed. Thanks for the recap here.

I'm sitting here watching the Top Chef marathon and thinking how I can see 4 or 5 of these contestants that would run circles around Heather or Virginia. Too bad their prize wasn't as extravagant as HK2's was.

Is a marathon or rerun of Hell's Kitchen 2 planned? It was on opposite Treasure Hunters, and I can't record one show and watch another since my VCR is built into my TV!!

For those that watch Top Chef. I watch it hit and miss. I would be curious to know if Bobby Flay really lets Keith be a sous chef for him on the show.

I tried posting the link, but it didn't work...
If you go to www.redrocklasvegas.com, and click on the restaurant Terra Rossa link, you'll see the info about Heather. She's now the Senior Chef and you can watch her work in the open kitchen while you dine there. She got a decent job, but it's not HER restaurant to run. More phoney baloney from a reality show!

Has anyone seen Ramsey's new show, The F Word? It shows a kinder gentler, lower sperm count side of Gordon, and is actually quite interesting.

Gordon Ramsey opens restaurant in NYC

NEW YORK - Chef Gordon Ramsay was about to enter the ultimate "Hell's Kitchen." But this time, the stakes were much greater than the ones on his popular reality competition on Fox television.

The famously fiery Ramsay was to debut his first U.S. restaurant Thursday night in New York City, where the food critics were anxiously circling and diners had booked the place solid for two months.

Called Gordon Ramsay at The London, the elegant restaurant with its French-influenced menu is located inside the London NYC Hotel in midtown.

The restaurant, which boasts a casual and formal dining area, is Ramsay's biggest and most expensive gamble to date.

"The biggest," Ramsay, 40, told The Associated Press shortly before the opening. "The till has to start working. New York is an expensive place to survive."

The Michelin-starred, celebrity chef has a total of 10 restaurants in his culinary empire, including the successful Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London.

Born in Scotland, Ramsay is the author of the best-selling cookbook, "Gordon Ramsay Makes it Easy."

I was changing channels and on VS there was a BBQ challenge and Sara was on it. She won in her group and is going to the finals I think as the only rookie. Not sure when it is on though. If I find out I'll let you know.
