At the end of the Hell's Kitchen episode two weeks ago, Chef Ramsay told both teams to leave the restaurant after elimination, except for Louisiana Chef Bradley Wildridge, who he asked to stay behind.

The episode ended with a cliff hanger, leaving fans wondering if Bradley was getting eliminated too. At the beginning of this week's episode Ramsay told him to stay behind to tell him he needed to be more vocal and get in the game.

When Bradley returned to the contestants' living quarters, everyone was excited to see that he hadn't been cut. But, they wouldn't have to wait long to see Bradley catch a redeye back home.

For the most part, Bradley did really good in the one-on-one challenges, however, he really lacked the skills needed to be one of Chef Ramsay's executive chefs. In the kitchen during every service, he was lost and forgetful.

Bradley had a hard time remembering long tickets and the pressure he was feeling in the stressful services of Hell's Kitchen showed in his cooking with many mistakes all throughout this season. All that lead to him getting voted on by his team to face elimination, and for Chef Ramsay to send him home.

Bradley grew up in Alexandria, LA and currently runs a pop-up Cajun Fusion restaurant in Santa Clara, California called Bayou On The Bay with his wife.

I was really pulling for Bradley, not only because he was representing Louisiana, but also the fact he resembles a pro wrestler that I loved who passed away in 2023, Bray Wyatt (pictured in the middle below).
