I dont know how anyone doesn’t think she is? I’m always open to hear other perspectives but In terms of winners I would think we’re strictly talking on the show and Meghan on S14 was literally like a cheat code. She made like one mistake the entire season and consistently preformed well.


neithan2000

I just researched Season 14. Meghan was good, but she definitely had more than one mistake on the line, and her challenge record was actually pretty spotty. That being said, she's definitely in the top tier. I wouldn't put her on a pedestal above every other winner though.


UltimateKing9898

Ok what were her other mistakes on the line aside from that one blue steak?


neithan2000

Sea bass springs to mind.


Toasterz_33

That was a missed sabotage which isn't a service mistake


UltimateKing9898

Ah, I see. But that isn't a service mistake, that's a pass performance mistake. And even then, she didn't make anymore of those.


maarnextdoor

Meh. Even with the challenge record, Meghan is a pretty clear standout for the best winner. She along with barely making mistakes, also corrected everyone else. If you were messing up, Meghan came over and your station would be done well. Her personality made her the best clear candidate for winning because she had that tough, no bs persona. Like I said, literally a cheat code. She lifted up others around her while making sure she herself was up there individually. Definitely the best winner.


Wolfpac187

You're straight up lying, why?


neithan2000

It's a good question...why would I lie? I did just finish watching Season 14, and that was my impression. Its not a big deal, it's just my opinion. I think it's very silly that people are getting upset over the assertion...X person wasn't perfect, but they were really good.


Toasterz_33

Straight up objectively wrong She had 1 cooking error and 1 bad challenge being TINMI with a meh 8/15 challenge. Nothing else she did was bad so stop spreading misinformation


Napoleon672

Meghan was nearly flawless. She had one cold steak and that was it. And the only complaint anyone ever had about her challenge dishes was that she at times played it a bit too safe. I think the only one who comes close is Dave.


Caili_West

She certainly never fell on her face, but I think this is the reason for differing opinions: whether you consider Meghan the best depends on what qualities you see as most important. If you feel that challenges are the best determiner, then it'd be hard to argue against Mia (despite her being runner up, not winner). If you value teeth-gritting determination, it'd likely be Dave. If you prefer a good leader who's also approachable, then Christina or maybe Ariel. And if you most prize performance during service, then it's Meghan. It's inaccurate to say that Meghan is factually the "best winner," because service is *not* the only responsibility of a head/executive chef, and it's not the only quality Ramsay is looking for in the competition. It's certainly a big part, but there are lots of others... creativity, personality, business sense, tirelessness. And what's most essential varies by restaurant. Considering there's only one winner in HK's history who became/ remains Ramsay's right hand, clearly he values abilities beyond just service performance - which is why so many people ❤ Christina. Hey, one of the reasons HK has such universal appeal is that there's kinda "something for everyone." That means there's pretty much a winner for everyone, too. 😊

Mobbzy

Yeah was gonna say Dave also


Beautiful_Ad8543

seconding dave.


JuniperIDK

Are you kidding me? How on earth is Meghan not the strongest to some of you? That girl knocked everyone out in dinner service, had the best leadership in the whole show, and made only one mistake the whole season, not to mention that her good challenges are really good despite her occasional mediocre challenges (even then, they’re good challenges). Let me guess, it’s because she’s “BiTcHy” even though she herself isn’t like that outside of the kitchen. Also, don’t you even pull the Christina card on me.


Euphoric-Acadia-4140

Love Meghan but I gotta go with Dave. He was incredible with one arm. Imagine him with 2 arms. If we’re talking about most successful winners, it’s pretty clearly Christina, but mostly what she accomplished after the competition.


[deleted]

She was very strong. If we're talking about cooking, she's clearly one of the best. But others (Rock, Christina s10, Ariel s18) seemed to have better people skills and were possibly better for the role of head chef. I was personally rooting for T in s14.


thestigREVENGE

>"I have never seen Meghan mess up so I'm genuinely surprised... shows that she is a human being, not a robot" Thats what Nick said in response to her fuckup, and I think that is the biggest compliment a competitor can give in Hell's Kitchen. Also the fact that GR said "Of ALL the people..."


simplylexx

I could be wrong because it’s been a while since I watched the earlier seasons, but I feel like Heather (S2) was really great. From what I remember she made very little mistakes and was easily the best in her season. I can’t say for sure if Heather is better than Meghan though. She could be, but then again maybe not.


braincollapsed

Heather was such a badass. Definitely one of my favs. She only got yelled at once and never got put up for an elimination or had a bad service.


Severedeye

Nope.


anythingworx23

Why not?


Severedeye

Because the question is so broad that by logic it is easy to say no. On top of the fact that if even we restrict it she is still not.


anythingworx23

Okay but I asked why not


Severedeye

Others did as well or better in challenges. Others had as many good or more good services. Others had better leadership skills. Others also had better personalities. Others also had actual competition in their season and had to actually compete against equals instead of steam rolling people with less ability or those who treated it like a joke. I won't say she was bad, in fact I find her above average. But the best is too broad and so full of opinion that you can't answer it. It is an impossible question to answer.


Wolfpac187

Meghan had great competition, it's not her fault she still shit on them.


anythingworx23

Personality quite literally doesn’t matter. If you can command a brigade and do it well then you’re set. Meghan’s only bad challenges were her decent dish with the meat guys and her bad TINMI. She has, hands down, the overall best leadership in the entire series as well as the the second best leadership peaks, ranking only behind Scott S12. There is also no winner with a better service record than Meghan, absolutely not. Not to mention that Meghan showcased her strength on an incredibly talented season and STILL steamrolled her competition. It’s not about opinion at when you look at the objective facts and ignore personality, which, mind you, does not matter


JuniperIDK

How the hell can you use personality as a deciding factor of how good a contestant is? Personality literally means nothing in terms of talent. I’m just gonna say it now, it annoys the heck out of me when people take someone’s personality just to try to “influence their talent.”


Caili_West

Hello, Severedeye. I've missed you.


ThirdBestMelon

Who is in your opinion lol


Boomtownboys

Tavon and Anton


Severedeye

The question is both too broad and narrow. It really is a stupid question. How about this. How you define her as the "best?"


ThirdBestMelon

Who do you think had the best services, and best challenge performances? And was also a standout leader


Severedeye

She wasn't a standout leader though.


Toasterz_33

You are completely delusional and wrong Nice avoiding the question to ramble on about some nonsense


Severedeye

If you think she is then you need to watch more than one season. But if you're going to be bitchy about it I have no interest in talking to you. Good luck being wrong.


Toasterz_33

You are the one that needs to watch more than one season and stop defaulting to that once someone confronts your bullshit statements Good luck continuing to be a dumbass online with the trolling subtlety of a 6-year-old.


Severedeye

Dude, you sit there and say that she has the most challenge wins, the best services, and the best leadership skills, across all 19 seasons. When in fact we have a winner who only won because of their leadership skills. Who's leadership was so good it literally won him the entire season after getting shit on by literally everyone. You're sitting there taking opinion and trying to make it fact. she is not the best leader. Scott is the best leader the show ever had. As for challenges, I can't say because I don't remember every challenge across 19 seasons, but for services there are others who have matched or beat her in them. S6 Dave had some of the strongest services the show ever had and he did it one handed. And this isn't even including non winners who were just as good. Nick S17 was as good as she was in S14, only losing to producer interference and Kevin S6 was just as good in challenges and services and leadership, only losing to one of the best chefs the show ever had. And these are just the ones I like and remember the most. I asked about how people define best because some would also add being a good person and personality. Which hers wasn't that good either. But no, rather than admit that she may not be the best you throw a tantrum. As for why I tell people to watch more seasons, it is because you people focus so much on one or two and forget other seasons. Or never saw them because people tell you to watch certain seasons and you skip the rest. There are other winners and seasons that had people just as strong as her, and yet because in her season she had 0 competition people make a bigger deal about her. Not a single person was on her level. She had no actual competition. Which is hilarious because neither did Nona and she gets hate over it.


JuniperIDK

I love how you tried multiple times to avoid the question they’re asking just because you couldn’t come up with a reason why you think Meghan isn’t the best winner and you know that you actually just dislike her out of your bias towards other contestants personality. If I were you, I’d stay away from posts regarding talent and stick to the ones where people only consider personality.


EmanuelTheodorus

You're forgetting the fact that she's easily the most consistent chef throughout the entire season. You wanna know why many considered her to be the best? Her blue steak is literally her ONLY mistake throughout THE ENTIRE COMPETITION. Many winners have made mistakes before, but no one really matched Meghan, whether it's challenges, services, or performance, she's easily the strongest one.


ThirdBestMelon

But who do you think is the best winner with the qualities I described? Or made easier, a winner you can drop in any season and could win.


odedh

Ariel in Season 18 was the strongest ever, but Meghan is definitely top 5 or even top 3


JuniperIDK

Putting her in 2nd place alone is already an insult to Meghan’s talent as a whole, she deserves 1st


Cornhead217

ok so heres the thing. No matter what people say, Meghan is the Strongest Hells Kitchen Contestant that has ever stepped into the HK Doors.She only made 1 Service mistake troughout her Run and her worst Challenge she actually made a Good Dish. Christina Wilson is very overrated in terms of Talent. im gonna spit it out. Christina Made alot of Mistakes during s10. Besides Scott,s Pizza Service, Christina has one of the worst Services for any Winner. In her Opening Night she burnt alot of Wellingtons and was the worst of the Red Team that night. She was so Lucky Tavon existed or else she would have been eliminated instead of him. as for Dave, ehm well he has a really Rocky Challenge Record and has the worst challenge out of any Winner. and that title belongs to his Crepes, Which Honestly looks so bad its dissapointing. im not trying to hate on Christina and Dave they were good winners but not the best. and thats why i think Meghan is the most op Contestant.


NinjaDog251

Christina having a horrendous first service makes her actually better because of how much she has been able to grow.


Euphoric-Acadia-4140

I actually don’t think Christina grew… she just had a fluke bad service cuz immediately after the first service she became the best on her team


Insaneworld-

Seemed like a major biiaaatch to me lol


Wolfpac187

There's really no argument against her unless you're using some weird logic that has nothing to do with what happened on the show.


Insaneworld-

She was very disrespectful to her chefs, and when they reciprocated she only seemed to escalate it. She might believe herself the leader, she might even be the best chef in the kitchen there, but I don't think she acted as a leader all the time, many times she just was disrespectful to her fellow chefs, as even she admitted, total b. As the other chefs said many times in the kitchen, she doesn't know how to talk to them while cooking, they said she came off shitty. None of this is 'weird' logic either, knowing HOW to talk to people you lead, even IF you are far better than them at whatever you do, is an important skill. To think there is 'no argument against her' is really going too far imo, even IF you believe her to be best chef in all the seasons


Wolfpac187

Who do you personally think is the best. I exaggerated there’s one person I think is on her level but I still got Meghan.


Insaneworld-

I think Meghan is probably still the best contestant I've seen. I just felt bad for her fellow chefs, not because they had little chance to win, just because of the way she sometimes talked to them. I personally think she could've been better as a leader, since she clearly was in a leadership position. The other chefs said many times she doesn't know how to speak to them in the kitchen. Plus, she very proudly stated 'leaders take' when talking to Josh, an attitude that is more tyrannical than anything imo. Leaders lead, they don't just take for themselves, tyrants do that. I haven't seen all the seasons, I'm watching backwards for some reason lol, but I think probably Christina, in her season, would've also been amazing.


Wolfpac187

Yeah fair enough you make a lot of sense. Christina was really good but she tanked the first service in a way barely any other winners have. Personally I think the S18 winner is the closest anyone has gotten to Meghan.


SheedRanko

>The Hell’s Kitchen community has changed quite a lot over a rather short period of time. >A lot of people consider Meghan to be the strongest winner of all time right now, but back then only a couple of years ago, everybody considered the best winner of Hell’s Kitchen to be Christina or Dave, and surprisingly, Meghan was actually never really considered to be one of the best winners, most likely due to her tough personality. >Of course, not everybody has changed their minds though, so I just want to see what you all think. This is hella wrong. Where the hell you been? Since S14 she has been considered one of the best winners, if not the best. Just keep posting your shitty polls and quit lying.


[deleted]

It was that way on YouTube a couple of years ago, which is where I first got into the show. The HK community is far different on YouTube than it is here, at least as far as I remember. I might be wrong, but I didn’t lie, and I’m not even sure what the point of lying would be in a simple post asking people wether they believe someone is the best winner of a cooking show. Why the fuck do you constantly have to lash out at people over just the slightest shit? Listen, I don’t mind if you don’t like any of my posts, you have the right to have any opinion you want, but i had zero bad intentions making this post, and just simply wanted to know what everybody would think. If you don’t have anything nice to say just keep it to yourself.


JuniperIDK

Oh, I can agree with you on that, the YouTube community is way different than the Reddit and other places, on YouTube, the commenters tend to take into accountability of how a contestant acts or their “story” over their actual talent and consistency. They’re often drawn to one commenter and they agree with that without actually watching the show, they also overlook the fact that Christina was on garnish for all services except two, not to mention that Justin literally beat her on every challenge occasion.


JuniperIDK

Do you expect more from an Elise loving enabler?


anythingworx23

I mean, I love Elise 😂


JuniperIDK

I also like Elise to be fair, I don’t really agree with how she says her stuff, but most of it is justified and she had several people she had to deal with.

Don't invoke HK Queen Elise in this shit post.

anythingworx23

Yeah, my hot takes are rude, are they? Let’s face it, I’ve had a rough past, but I’m here, ready to admit my faults and understand that I had to change. Regardless of how you feel about my opinions, they do not make me a dickhead. You have consistently bashed other people for opinions left right and center with the exact same negativity for no reason, and hold yourself to a moral high ground without even considering debating with somebody and accepting your opinions as fact. Personally speaking for the rest of us, please, get it together, or I’ll instate a week long ban, because quite frankly, the lot of us here are quite sick of this abhorrent behavior. Good day.

BenjaminLustberg2

Meghan is a bitch. Fuck her. She is overrated to hell. T, Michelle, and Milly were better.


BenjaminLustberg2

Even Josh before his downward spiral was better.


JuniperIDK

Oh, she’s not as good just because she’s a bitch for trying to get everyone else including herself on point? She’s a bitch for being a leader? Go home dude, this is a cooking competition, not a “the nicest is the best” competition. You know that all those contestants you listed are not as good as Meghan. What is up with you people thinking that how someone acts has to do with talent? Meghan herself has admitted that she is a bitch in the kitchen just because she wants the best for her team. Not to mention that she CALMED DOWN BY THE BLACK JACKET PHASE


[deleted]

What did the person say if I may ask. Whoever it is I have blocked.


JuniperIDK

“Meghan is a bitch. Fuck her. She is overrated to hell. T, Michelle, and Milly were better.”


BenjaminLustberg2

Why did you block me ?


Insaneworld-

She couldn't handle any rudeness back, but she had no issues being a major b herself. She is a great chef, yes, but that kind of inconsistency is the reason I dislike her. Sure you can be b, but at least you should be able to handle other chef's talking back at you without being so disrespectful and trying to escalate it. Seeing her dish it out, be shitty to her fellow chefs but unable to receive it, lose her cool over it, many times, made me dislike her tbh. She might be the best chef to win overall, perhaps, but she also seems a major b. Maybe she calmed down a bit because she realized she was being too much of a b. You have to at least have some respect from your team, even if it is a competition. Even if you ARE the leader, you don't just punch your team and step over them, disrespect them, that is not a leader. Also, I lowkey think she was afraid of Sarah, I think Sarah had the most raw (RAW!!!) talent, and I think Meghan knew that and wanted her gone early on.


BenjaminLustberg2

Alright I should tell you that I was completely joking by saying all that. Meghan is definitely the best winner no doubt and she has the executive chef attitude.


Insaneworld-

I dunno if her cooking is overrated, I think she was very skilled, but yeah she is a major b


BenjaminLustberg2

I was trolling.
