The reality cooking competition Hell's Kitchen has been around since 2005, with more than twenty winners since it started. The youngest-ever winner was Danny Veltri, who won season 5 at 23. His prize was cooking at Fornelletto at the Borgata in Atlantic City.
The second youngest winner was technically also 23 when he won; Trenton Garvey won season 20, allowing him to work at Gordon Ramsay Steak in the Paris Las Vegas. Season 20 was filmed in 2019 but aired in 2021 due to the pandemic. The third youngest winner is Holli Ugalde, who got the chance to cook at Savoy Grill at Savoy Hotel in London.
