A quick throwback to Hell's Kitchen Season 13 is enough to remember its strongest contender and winner, La Tasha McCutchen. According to Reality TV Revisited, the chef worked as a kitchen supervisor in Winter Haven, Florida, and dazzled the judges with her solid cooking skills, leadership talent, and her commitment to cooking. Complimenting the chef a few minutes before she was announced as the winner, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay said, "La Tasha, you were rock solid, and it was no surprise that you were the only person not put up for elimination. You belong in the kitchen" (via The Washington Informer).
McCutchen prepared a delectable meal that helped her win on the show. The dishes included prime filet mignon tartare with shallots, mustard, capers, chive, cornichons, lemon zest, eggs, waffle potato crisps, spiced bread pudding with ice cream, and a lot more.
