The Truth About Josie Clemens From Hell's Kitchen: Young Guns Season 1
Fans of Gordon Ramsay need to keep their eye out for the premiere of the chef's latest show, "Hell's Kitchen: Young Guns." For the first time ever, Ramsay assembled a group of 18 young chefs from around the country to compete for it all at Hell's Kitchen in Las Vegas' Caesars Palace (via Fox). This new season of the show should surprise and excite anyone who loves to keep track of all the up-and-coming stars in the food world, and with any luck, you might just spot the next big food personality before they make it big.
Out of the contestants, Josie Clemens stands out from her peers. According to Gold Derby, this 22-year-old chef hails from Macomb, Michigan and competes with eight others on the show's red team. Clemens, one of the youngest contestants on this year's season, emerged as a private chef before appearing on the program. She pursues a vegan lifestyle and rallies against the use and consumption of animal goods in her cooking. These strong beliefs frame Clemens as an immediate standout chef from the rest of the pack.
