He made it all the way to the final five before he was finally eliminated by host Gordon Ramsay, ultimately coming in fourth in the overall competition.
Although there was clearly no love lost between Paulie Giganti and Gordon Ramsay, the host did praise Giganti for maintaining his determination even in the face of great adversity and difficult challenges.
Fans of Fox’s reality series Hell’s Kitchen will remember Paulie Giganti well from his time on the show.
He was a serious contender for the top prize in Season 16, which featured many quite talented chefs.
