Hello. New to the forum.
I do not remember the seasons or names, but there are two runner-up contestants whom I've always wondered how they turned out. I'll describe them and hope someone might be able to provide some info on them.
One was a big "Rocky"-type guy. I think he was on season 3, but I'm not sure. He was an excellent chef and made it to the number four spot, but he made the mistake of accusing Gordon of showing blatant favoritism to one of the remaining female runner-ups. He was absolutely right - it was obvious, but Gordon threw him out soon after. I was wondering if anyone knows who I'm talking about and if they've heard anything about him? Hopefully good.
Secondly, there was a petite black gal, around season 8) who had no formal training but who was a chef at a Waffle House. I think she made it to number 5 and Gordon remarked as to how - with no training - she had out-cooked others who had formal training and degrees. Although she was ejected, he said he was sending her to culinary school because she was so talented. Does anyone know what happened to her? Something good, I hope.
Thanks for any info you might have.
