    Me and my lady just started binging hells kitchen, just finished season 6... so far Rob has been my favorite competitor, I was so sad to see him go both times and although I knew he was perfectly capable of doing great things without winning hells kitchen, I was legit worried his health would stop him in his tracks...
    Welp, today I decided to google him to see how he was doing, and I won't lie, I was afraid he'd be dead... but instead I see this... fucking awesome!... makes me so happy!

    When I watched seasons 5 and 6 of Hell's Kitchen I knew there was something more about Robert, and hearing ist story now I feel so relieved about how well he has been doing after his difficult early life! Really my favorite Chef of the show of all time right now! I loved listening to him, the man is full of wisdom! He needs to make a podcast 😂
    Also very interesting to know that he already worked for Ramsay before and apparently after the show!

    “I worked for Gordon Ramsay and he asked me if I wanted to be on Hell’s Kitchen.”
    So is Robert implying Gordon knew him previously? Because if that’s true then Gordon surely would’ve known not to call him “Bobby”. 🤔🤔🤔

    I didn’t know he worked for Gordon Ramsay before Hells Kitchen. That’s pretty cool; he’s had some cool jobs.

    Wow I am watching both his seasons again for million time. Robert is one of my favorite. I had no ideal he worked for Gordon Ramsey for so long. Robert is not even recognizable.
