Foul mouthed Gordon Ramsay applies his unique brand of cooking motivation in the US version of “Hell’s Kitchen”. Chef Michael has won Hell’s Kitchen. The soft-spoken executive chef from Fort Collins, Colorado, beat out fellow finalist Ralph, a chef from Livingston, New Jersey, in the final episode of the Fox reality series. Chef Gordon Ramsay said he made his decision based on customer comments, and Michael had a higher score by a slim margin.
