"Winning HELL'S KITCHEN is without a doubt a dream come true," said McCutchen. "I feel like I opened the doors to my future. I trusted in myself, I believed in myself and I know now that I have what it takes to be a true leader in this industry. Watching the competition has made me realize that I perform well under pressure and that my passion and strong work ethic are inspiring others, especially our younger generation."

"La Tasha is an incredibly determined leader with unwavering passion and drive" said Ramsay. "Throughout the season, she has proven that she has what it takes to make her mark on the culinary world, and I am looking forward to having her join our team at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill in Atlantic City."

In a season filled with intense highs and dramatic exits, McCutchen had a steady climb to the top. She proved to be a consistent leader during dinner services, and her determination earned her the respect of her team and gained her a coveted spot in the finale. In the end, she went head-to-head with Bryant Gallaher, a Lead Line Cook from Virginia Beach. For the final challenge, both contestants created their own menus, and were able to select and lead a team of their past competitors through the most important dinner service of their lives.
