Way to blow away your future.

Hell's Kitchen should have a required drug test for contestants so avoid this happening again.

Drug use is rampant in the industry. Along with almost any other vice you care to name.

I love Gordon Ramsey and am even more proud of him for this action.

What a stupid thing for her to do. She will be blackballed in the entire industry.

Amazing isn’t it? She couldn’t stay off coke long enough to accept a dream job.

I think it’s pathetic that the show is giving her the $250,000 anyway! She doesn’t deserve it after that. She’s still getting rewarded and doesn’t have to do any work. I sure don’t understand it.

Nope. That industry is different from most.

Crack is whack.

Libertarians will insist this is another attack from that nasty war on drugs.
The girl should be high on drugs and be allowed to do whatever. So what if she becomes a risk to a potential employer, right?

It’s apparent the show doesn’t do a good job evaluating quality head chef candidates. The runner up, Mary Poehnelt, is a St. Skittles’ fan and had a pic of herself in a hoodie on her FB.

Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern, and who-knows-how-many other Food Network stars are pretty open about their past history of drug use. While now appearing to be clean, sure hasn't hurt their paychecks any.

You've never worked in the industry, I take it.

Chefs have to work craaaaaaaaaazy hours, hence coke and pills. I’m not sure if Gordon ever got into drugs but his hilarious autobio “Humble Boy” certainly explores the insanity of the restaurant industry.

A former member of the mainstream media here in Pittsburgh used to hang out with the kitchen staff at a particular elegant restaurant that used to hire the naer-do-wells from my high school. He would hang out and do drugs with them.

Then he’d go back to his TV station and file undercover reports busting beer vendors for serving underage kids at Three Rivers Stadium.
