On Tuesday night’s edition of the FOX foodie hit Hell’s Kitchen, fire-spitting chef Gordon Ramsay and Kitchen crew members paid tribute to technical director Ron Stutzman, who passed away on June 15 after an undisclosed illness.

Stutzman was the show’s technical director for several years and had been nominated for several Emmys.

Culinary expert Dave Levey won the sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen on Tuesday night. Dave landed the position of Head Chef under Executive Chef James Walt at the Araxi Restaurant in Whistler, British Columbia during last night’s finale.

The 32-year-old is an executive chef from San Diego, California. Dave successfully outburned Kevin Cottle, a 35-year-old executive chef from Middletown, Connecticut who took second spot, and third runner-up Ariel Contreras, 27, a sous chef from Los Angeles, California.

Twenty-five year old Christina Machamer, a culinary student from St. Louis, Missouri, took home Top Honors on the Tuesday night finale of FOX’s cooking competition Hell’s Kitchen. Christian will serve as the executive chef of bossy Brit Gordon Ramsey’s new Los Angeles restaurant, London West Hollywood.
