Why Hell’s Kitchen? “It’s actually out of my character to take that kind of a risk but I’m not not happy that I did it.”

Culinary Idol: “I would have to say the person who taught me how to cook, Jon Mathieson. He can do no wrong in my book. He taught me basically everything I know. He yelled at me when I needed to be yelled at, he encouraged me when I needed to be encouraged. When I was getting ready to throw in the towel at 24 he yelled at me until he knocked some sense into me. He really pushed me.”

Her Strengths: “I’ve said that I have blinders on, but I think that is one of my strengths. I am very focused. I have a solid background. I believe that I can cook very well as a line cook. I believe that I can be a leader in the kitchen. I have a voice and a purpose in the kitchen, and direction.”

Biggest Threat From T: “She was like a dark horse. Now that I’m watching it on TV, I really see her strengths and I see how she grew throughout the competition. I think that it blindsided me a little bit when we got into the black jackets and I was back in the kitchen with her and I was like, ‘Wait a minute!’ She’d really progressed.”

Girl Power: “I would not have gone into this competition not thinking I was going to be the winner. I think everybody thinks that!”

Non-Culinary Hobbies: “I like shopping! I love to go to places where there is water. I don’t necessarily get in the water, but I like to relax and kick back. You’re in the kitchen all the time and it’s so intense all the time.”

T Gregoire

Age: 31

Hometown: Atlanta, Ga.

What Being on TV is Like: “Sometimes it’s weird listening to something that I’ve said. The best part is seeing my own facial expressions.”

Training: French

Why Hell’s Kitchen? “This show was sort of like a moment of validation for me. I really wanted to know if this was something I still want to consider doing. If you want to be the best, you still have to go where the best go, play with the best, and surround yourself with them. I felt like this competition embodied that.”

Culinary Idol: “Gordon of course is very inspirational to me, but the people who have worked really closely with me, my mentors, Chef Jonathan [Jerusalmy] and Chef Veronica [Wandui], they’ve really molded me into the person and the chef that I’ve become today.”

Her Strengths: “I’ve learned so much to pay more attention to detail. It is all in the detail and that is something that really held me back, even as a young cook.”

Biggest Threat From Meghan: “Meghan is a very talented chef, and she’s already an executive chef. Me, as a line cook, I’m not as experienced in the industry as she is. She has more technique than me, but I have the passion!”

Girl Power: “It was just about getting the guys up out of there! But I think women have been winning the last couple of seasons. I was really excited I could actually be one of those women.”

Non-Culinary Hobbies: “Definitely at the top of my list has to be sleeping! Number two has to be laundry, and then spending time with the family. I love my family, but after spending time with them at the end of the day I have to go back to work and then I have no clean chef jackets! What am I gonna do then? Right now I am on a knowledge thirst so I’m reading a couple of things. In order to develop in this industry you have to know your stuff.”

Hell’s Kitchen will name a winner on Tuesday, June 9, at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
