An American chef won the show and will be the Executive Chef at a restaurant in Vancouver, right where the 2010 Olympics will be. I wonder if he'll get his immigration paperwork in order and get the Visa by the time he's got to be there :whistle:

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

We watch the show--Tivo'd the final, so wont watch that till Friday! Even though we watch the show, the cooks themselves are not that great,lol I would no tpay to eith their food! We truly enjoy watchign Top Chef,now those guys/gals can cook! For laughters i would love to watch a hells kitchen contestant on top chef and see how they fair!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

They are all Americans on the show.. :whistle:

I'm glad *bleep* won the show! I knew he would from the beginning.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

I've watched every season of Hell's Kitchen. I'm a Gordon Ramsay fan :)

It's disappointing to know that the job the winner takes isn't as "big" or "glamourous" as they make it out to be...

Scroll down to "Seasons" to see where they are now. None of them have the "top" jobs at restaurants!

I have watched every season too. I just didn't want to look at this until I finally saw the final episode which I did the other day finally. Another good one was Kitchen Nightmares that's actually really good. I wasn't too fond of the British season they did before the American one, but I definatly like the American Kitchen Nightmares.

My friend always asks me what happend to this winner or that winner. It's kind of funny that not many have gone on to be famous really other then a couple of them. Some have dropped completely off the radar...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

I never really understood restaurants that would be on the Nightmare show. A restaurant was redone that was located about 15 minutes from where my folks lived, and sure it got remade and looked nice, but just seeing how those people were cooking with bugs and rotten stuff everywhere would keep me from ever visiting it lol. You know once Gordon leaves they're not going to keep up the higher priced ways of keeping the kitchen clean when they can just go back to their old ways and make money, grooooooss lol.
