Do Any Celebrities Live in Hells Kitchen? Celebrity
Jessica Vogel appeared on Season 12 of Hell’s Kitchen and was later diagnosed with a bowel disease called ulcerative colitis.
Holli Ugalde, is the chef who won Season 7 of the American version of Hell’s Kitchen. Her prize for suffering through the vast and various indignities was supposed to be the top job at the Savoy Grill in London. It’s an iconic restaurant, and a gig that many, many chefs would absolutely kill for — which is why it was such a crushing blow to Ugalde when she didn’t get the job she was promised because of work visa issues. Instead, she was named “Celebrity Signature Chef” of a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale.
As of 2020, six Hell’s Kitchen chefs have died (via Gold Derby ).

In 2018, Hell’s Kitchen dropped a menu item from the lineup after it sent a few guests to the hospital. It was the Rum Donkey, a tiki-style drink served on fire, and predictably, people got hurt. According to Fox News, they “removed the flame component of the drink at issue.”.
Hell’s Kitchen is a television show, after all. Television shows are shot on soundstages. And Hell’s Kitchen is no different. According to a TV Guide writer who attended one particular finale taping, the whole place genuinely looks like the set of a TV show when you see it in person.
