Hell’s Kitchen Season 12 ended with Scott Commings beating Jason Zepaltas in an action-packed finale.
The finalists had to create five unique dishes and prepare for the final dinner service.
Commings winning menu included: Romaine salad with nicoise olive tapenade, white anchovy and parmesan tuile (appetizer); Mediterranean sea bass with piquillo pepper puree, potato hash, haricot vert, black kale and lemon (entree); and Pear tart tatin with spiced pear sorbet, vanilla gelato and marcona crumble (dessert).
After his win, Commings said: ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ was truly the best and most rewarding experience of my life. I feel so blessed to have been given this incredible and most difficult opportunity. What I have been able to take from this experience will be with me the rest of my life, and I will use every bit of this education to continue to pursue my passion for food. I am truly thankful.”
