I would assume they take COVID into account as far as the rescues go. WeвЂ™re gonna start filming in early spring.Д®arly spring? Do you know how the showвЂ™s filming will change with COVID in play? IвЂ™m also still on вЂњBar Rescue,вЂќ and weвЂ™re about to start filming pretty soon. JS: I donвЂ™t actually know, but I hear thatвЂ™s it for вЂњHellвЂ™s Kitchen.вЂќ IвЂ™ve heard that a million times before with other shows, but I know thereвЂ™s been a huge lull in between season 18 and 19. They were supposed to air a while ago, but Fox decided to wait. It was filmed in April 2019, as was season 20. When was this season filmed? Based on the trailer I saw, IвЂ™m assuming this was pre-COVID? I started losing my voice halfway through the show from yelling. I was as nervous as them sometimes.Дuring the day, I was probably as hard on the contestants as he was. He would get pissed if the food wasnвЂ™t right, and I had to plate it right next to him, so you can imagine the pressure. During the day I oversee them, and during dinner service Gordon comes into play.

ThereвЂ™s a $250,000 prize and a legitimate job, so weвЂ™re hard on them. JS: As the sous chef, IвЂ™m there to sort of help the contestants, but itвЂ™s called вЂњHellвЂ™s KitchenвЂќ for a reason. And now IвЂ™m the blue team sous chef, ironically.Д¬an you go into more detail about what exactly your role on the show entails? I packed my stuff and filmed in Vegas for three months. One day I was sitting in my restaurant and I got an email from the executive producer asking if I wanted to be the sous chef for Gordon in season 19 and season 20. IвЂ™ve been asked back through the years for cameos and minor appearances. JS: About 11 years ago, I was the runner up on season 7. YouвЂ™re taking on a bigger role in вЂњHellвЂ™s KitchenвЂќ this season. After another callback, I got the gig and flew to LA. Nine hours and 30 coffees later, I did my interview. I got there and there were a ton of people who had already prepared to audition вЂ¦ But IвЂ™m so competitive, I felt the need to hang around and wait. I was on my way to dim sum in Chinatown, and a friend insisted I go.

But there were open castings for вЂњHellвЂ™s KitchenвЂќ at the Park Plaza hotel. I had done some local stuff as a chef from Boston, and I did the вЂњTodayвЂќ show once, but I was not вЂњintoвЂќ TV.
