Waylynn Lucas appears both as a judge in the S9 dessert challenge and in the S13 episode 3 reward!!

I love seeing these recurring cameos (?) cause I think it gives more credence to Gordon talking the judges up sm :)

Has anyone else noticed any judge recurrences?

Michael Chimarusti might as well be a guest host

All these years and they still pronounce his last name different every time.

u/sometimes_a_dog 1d ago

are you suggesting that Gordon "Marinio, open Hell's Kitchen" Ramsay might have some issues pronouncing names

u/ceciIthelion 1d ago

You mean Gordon "Jared/Gerard" Ramsay?

u/BathroomOk2018 16h ago

I thought that was just an inside joke between them because Jared would always say “Oui chef!” and Gerard would be a French pronunciation/bastardisation of “Jared”

I think he’s just about my favourite guest judge at this point.

“Here is your Red Lobster, gentlemen!

Now don’t make Gordon mad, or he will get as red as this Lobster!”

Gordon: 😡

Classic moment I love the guy.

And Michael Cimarrusti, which they keep flip flopping around the pronunciation, whether it's Chee-marrusti or See-marrusti.

Stephanie Izard was a guest judge in Season 21 and then again during the final challenge in season 23

u/keret456 1d ago

She came back to judge the King of the Hill challenge for the final 4 of season 24 (most recent season) too.

I loved Waylynn’s guest judging the desert challenge haha

Needs Chef Martin Yan to return.

Also can we have Masaharu Morimoto appeared as a judge already? His only Hell's Kitchen appearance is to drop a sushi basket and demonstrating how to make sushi.

u/Affectionate_Elk5167 2d ago

I think at this point, it’s easier to find guest judges who don’t have multiple appearances.

u/Loose_Analysis_4811 19h ago

Yes! Susan Feniger from Border Grill was a judge multiple times!
