Tonight the proof is in the pudding (sorry just a little cooking humor there :)). Our two final chefs square off in the final dinner service of the season. Last week Rock and Bonnie each turned their half of Hell’s Kitchen into their very own restaurant. They had to design it, select uniforms for the wait staff, prepare their own menus, and finally select the chefs who would be helping them in the kitchen. Bonnie and Rock both selected their old teammates.

Bonnie’s team: Jen, Melissa, Julia
Rock’s Team: Brad, Vinnie, Josh

Each chef has at least one chef on their team who is competent, Jen for Bonnie and Brad for Rock. Bonnie could be in for some trouble with Melissa and Julia though. Melissa while knowledgeable never quite lived up to Chef Ramsay’s standards and Julia had a complete meltdown last week and stated outright that she was rooting for Rock to win. Rock is saddled with Vinnie and Josh neither of whom ever seemed to please Chef Ramsay. With their dream of owning their own restaurant on the line Bonnie and Rock are going to need to keep their teams in line if they want a shot at winning.

I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks now that I thought Rock was going to win. I still believe that. While Bonnie has pulled out the occasional victory, Rock is the more skilled chef and is more highly motivated to win. We’ll find out tonight whether Chef Ramsay agrees with me.
