Las Vegas: ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ winner is head chef at Ramsay eatery

“When it comes to hot restaurants in Las Vegas, Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris is one of the hottest. Diners may not see Chef Ramsay but they could see Christina Wilson, who won a year’s contract as the steakhouse’s head chef for her first-place finish on Season 10 of “Hell’s Kitchen.”

In honor of her victory over 18 other competitors, the restaurant is now serving what it calls the Hell’s Kitchen Limited Edition Tasting Menu. That’s quite a mouthful, but not nearly as palatable as the five-course dinner itself.

Ramsay’s British roots are evident throughout the meal. It begins with a Scotch egg made with Berkshire pork sausage and red wine-braised cabbage. Beef Wellington, Ramsay’s signature dish, is served as the third course.

The prix-fixe menu costs $145 per person; wine pairings are an additional $75 per person. The price includes a souvenir folder with an autographed photo of Wilson alongside Ramsay and executive chef Kevin Hee.

Wilson took up her new post within days of the airing of the program’s final segment, although that was more than a year after the reality show had finished filming.

“Everybody that was part of the final episode for 15 months knew who won and how it went down that night,” Wilson said. “We just, under contract, weren’t allowed to say anything.”

Because she couldn’t start her new job until after that episode aired, Wilson returned to Philadelphia to work, knowing she wouldn’t be in the job very long.

“It was hard,” she said. “I literally had to forget it ever happened. I tried really hard not to think about it.”

Garlic Parm Hot Wings – Video Recipe 800! 800? Really?

This garlic Parmesan hot wings video represents the 800th
recipe we’ve uploaded to YouTube since we launched the channel in January 2007.
As I waited for the file to upload, an odd sense of disbelief started to wash
over me. Had I really cooked, filmed, and posted 800 video recipes? It didn’t
seem possible.


The more I thought about just how much content that is, the
more improbable it seemed. 800 recipes? That’s like 10 cookbooks! Then, a
different kind of disbelief came over me as I considered all the dishes I’ve
still not done.

After all these hundreds and hundreds of recipes, I still
have not done things like risotto, goulash, blue cheese dressing, calamari, or
beef Wellington; just to name a few. Anyway, it was an interesting and
introspective ten minutes, sitting there watching the upload progress bar
slowly move across the screen, thinking about what I had done, and how much I
still needed to do.

As far as these gorgeous wings go, they rocked. My wife
Michele, who is not a big fan of chicken wings, ate more than I’d ever seen her
eat before, and deemed them my best yet. I’m not sure about that, but they did
come out really, really well.


One reason it’s hard to get a crispy-crusty coating on a
wing in the oven is all the moisture that leaks out during the initial phase of
baking. Here, we are parboiling the wings in a very flavorful liquid, which not
only helped season the chicken, but also produced a surface texture in the oven
that your guests will swear came straight out of a deep fryer. I hope you give
these a try soon, and as always, and for the 800th time, enjoy!


Ingredients for 5 pounds of wings (about 48 pieces):
3 quarts cold water
1/4 cup salt
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary
4 to 5 pounds of chicken wing sections
8-10 cloves garlic plus big pinch of salt
3 or 4 tbsp olive oil, or as needed
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste (obviously you can add
cayenne or other hot stuff to make these even spicier)

2 tbsp fine breadcrumbs
about 1 cup of very finely and freshly grated
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
creamy Italian dressing for dipping, optional
