Wilson's win in Hell's Kitchen
Chef Christina Wilson competed on Hell’s Kitchen season 10 and was selected by Gordon Ramsay as the first finalist. She and fellow finalist Justin were instructed to develop a full menu, including four appetizers, four entrées, and three desserts.
Their preparation involved a visit to Las Vegas, where they were to meet with sous chefs and finish up the dishes in their individual sessions. Wilson used dishes based on her culinary history and experiences.
For the last challenge, Wilson faced her menu in head-to-head competition with Justin, and was judged by visiting chefs such as Francois Payard, Michel Richard, Julian Serrano, and Wolfgang Puck.
