Hell's Kitchen - Winner Rankings

Today, I'll be taking on the really difficult task of ranking every Hell's Kitchen Winner. Again guy, go easy in the comments, there's a reason why nobody has ever done an HK winner rankings before, since it is so tough to separate some of these winners.

The fact that Nick, Millie, and Michelle all made the final 4 in all stars after all 3 of them making the final 5 in against Meghan and T in that same season speaks to just how much talent that was packed into that season.

Let me remind you how monstrously strong Meghan is.
All 5 black jackets that didn't win season 14 reappear in other seasons. 3 of them strong enough to got to the black jackets again, and she basically dominate them during season 14.

Of course they grow between the seasons, but that mean Meghan also grow. I wonder how strong she's now.

[seechwing]

season 14 is so funny to me. it’s like putting the most well trained soldiers in the world, making them fight for a spot as a general, and then making them go against The Predator

Unpopular opinion, I loved Scott. Not because he's the best winner or even best chef, but because I love watching people who hate him get triggered when he wins.

[desirae]

I loved Megan's no nonsense/all business attitude. Like when she finally got to go on reward after being cooped up for weeks and it was like parasailing and lunch on a boat and she's like "I hate boats and I hate heights 😑"
And when Ramsay put her on the blue team I remember a montage of each of the girls on the red team being like "now with Megan gone maybe I can be the leader and shine."

[sydneyps]

While I personally put Dave in number one just because of how badass winning with a broken arm is, I totally understand why people say Megan is there's. She was an absolute rockstar

[njfuentesrespecter]

Casual fans always say Christina Wilson is the best but I think they just see her position now and give her extra credit for that. Meghan was without a doubt the most dominant chef in history. It was like throwing one of Ramsay’s sous chefs from one of his restaurants into this competition.

Another thing I think Ramsay considers is if the winner of HK is a LIFER chef. Some black jackets from past seasons have gotten out of culinary entirely. IMO that’s what made Holli winning soo shocking. Jay lives and breathes culinary. It seemed more like a passion, but something she could live without.

For Christina Wilson's first service when it was actually revealed during interviews that the wellington mishaps weren't actually on Christina. Someone else had prepped and stored the wellingtons and they weren't stored correctly which messed with the dough

I knew Meghan would be in the top haha easily the strongest winner ever. Overall this a great list and very similar to mine. I’m also glad you put Danny that high I think people really forget how consistent he was during his season.

[Ducklesswonder]

Dave telling Gordon to eliminate him based on his performance instead of his injury was such a chad move. Dude will always be remembered as the top tier of Hell’s Kitchen.

Megan is a great too choice though. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in any season since absolutely dominate like she did. You knew she was a winner very early on in the show, I watched that season just wondering who her competition would be for final 2.

Megan was definitely the best winner, s14 had so many strong cooks (T, Michelle, Milly and nick) but she was just on a level above. Rock solid from the start of the season, and carried her team throughout the season in dinner services….probably made one mistake in the entire season and immediately bounced back

[blackflag]

Dave, you can't get any more unique and badass origin story than his.

[SaradaHaruno]

Why Meghan is the best
1. Has great skills and palette
2. Has great leadership
3. Carried her teams, both in red and blue team
4. The red team was happy when she was switched to blue cuz it meant they get a chance to shine
5. Only made one mistake when she was working MEAT station on a STEAK night, when there were only 3 people in the team.
6. Ramsay and her team was genuinely shocked when she made a mistake
7. Her team always come to her for help, checking flavor, temperature, etc
8. Did not dwell into drama
9. Carried her team in challenges

[fthenonasian]

Paula did not win but clearly a very strong chef. season five could’ve easily been a draw

[RaiBread]

The 3-person finale really soured S17 for me. A final 2 service between Nick and Benjamin would have been one of the best finales in the history of the show, along with Danny/Paula, Dave/Kevin, Paul/Will, Christina/Justin, and Meghan/T. The only way Michelle ever had a hope at beating Benjamin or especially Nick is if the universe bent over backwards for her, and that’s exactly what happened lol.

[rosyraeburn]

It would be really interesting to have a season where the 20 winners compete. I think that it would make a pretty interesting season, especially seeing someone win 2 seasons.

[duyphan]

You know how resilient Dave was when he got one of his arms taped up yet still won the season.

[lyle]

I'm so glad that Meghan being considered the best winner is almost unanimous. I dont think there has ever been a winner with such a clean run and win. Easily the most skilled contestant on the show ever.

[yee]

I feel like people always forget about Kori, but she went up against a really strong cast of chefs. Great video btw!

[Hiker]

Paul did something super smart in his final dinner service. He picked Elise first, knowing that she would fight harder for him by doing so. Say what you want about Elise, but credit where it belongs. She kicked ass for Paul in that season finale.
