Hell’s Kitchen Champion Lands Executive Chef Gig At Foxwoods

MASHANTUCKET, CT — Kyle Timpson, the winner of "Hell’s Kitchen" Season 23, is set to bring his culinary talents to Foxwoods Resort Casino as the newly appointed Executive Chef of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen restaurant at Foxwoods.

Starting May 1, Timpson will take the reins at the restaurant where his journey to culinary stardom began. “To be stepping into this role at the venue I gave everything I had to win is absolutely surreal,” said Timpson. “Foxwoods already feels like home.”

Timpson’s appointment underscores Foxwoods' commitment to top-tier dining experiences, as the resort continues to draw high-profile chefs and food lovers alike, according to a Foxwoods statement.

“Watching him grow during Season 23 was inspiring,” said celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. “Kyle earned this opportunity through sheer grit, passion, and undeniable talent.”

Foxwoods President & CEO Jason Guyot echoed the sentiment: “We are confident he will bring both exceptional culinary skills and a fresh creative vision.”

Timpson, known for his bold flavors and high-energy kitchen leadership, brings over a decade of experience from acclaimed restaurants in Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore. On the reality cooking show, he stood out for "his consistent performance and leadership, ultimately becoming the first openly gay male winner in the show’s history," according to the statement.

At Hell's Kitchen Foxwoods, diners can expect Ramsay’s iconic dishes—Beef Wellington, Pan-Seared Scallops, and Sticky Toffee Pudding—delivered with the drama and precision fans of the show crave.
