Scott Leibfried was the Sous Chef for the blue kitchen for the first 10 seasons of Hell's Kitchen.

Biography

After graduating from Johnson & Wales University, Scott spent most of his time working in the US Northeast and Europe, before relocating to the west coast of the United States in 1997 to work as a chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA. In 2002, he left for the executive chef position at the Napa Valley Grille in Los Angeles. He soon moved to London to work at a variety of restaurants under the guidance of Ramsay. In 2006, he became the executive chef at Soleil @K, in San Diego.

Personality

As Ramsay's Sous Chef, Scott acted as Ramsay's right-hand man in the services. He held the same standards as Ramsay and would often get irritated by contestants' constant mistakes. Unfortunately, when he got angry, he got very angry, and noticeably had an even louder voice than Ramsay himself, an example being when he furiously berated Benjamin Knack for attempting to take over his job. However, he was also seen giving advice to the final three of Season 1.

Main highlights per seasons

Season 1

• On episode 6, Scott caught Andrew trying to cheat out of the blue team's punishment by placing tape on the door so they would not need to punch in the lock combo every time. After schooling Andrew, he took the blue team's baby chickens back to the storeroom.
• On episode 9, Ramsay sent Scott up to the dorms when the final three were taking too long to come downstairs. The next day, he was seen advising the final three on their special dishes from that night's service.

Season 2

• On episode 3, when he was asked to check on a supposed dysfunctional oven by Giacomo, Scott informed the latter that all he did was forgetting to turn on the gas, and called him stupid.
• On episode 5, Scott expressed concern as the blue team were a man down compared to the red team, and they had a lot of shit to do. He also warned Garrett not to jinx it when the latter felt the red team were going down.

Season 3

• On episode 1, Scott had a near meltdown when Josh revealed that Aaron ruined all the meat for the blue team, even asking how they could be out if they had not served any food.
• After the credits of episode 11, Scott was seen threatening to physically harm Josh if he lost the service for Rock.

Season 4

• On episode 3, after Ben delivered a burned salmon, Scott angrily asked him why would he send it up if he knew it was burnt.

Season 5

• On episode 3, Scott told Charlie to rethink his best after the latter was oblivious about his cloth getting on fire.
• On episode 13, Scott was extremely angry when Andrea was running the hot plate as he was nitpicked by her on everything he was doing. He started to get irritated and called her a stupid c---, even threatening to punch her in the face.

Season 6

• On episode 4, Scott sternly warned Andy to get his refired chicken ready for the last ticket when the rest of the items were ready.
• On episode 6, Scott was ordered by Ramsay to cook risottos after Jim struggled on them, and yelled at Dave for cooking the wrong garnishes.

Season 7

• On episode 2, when Andrew asked Benjamin for a time on the salmon, Scott reminded him that the garnishes had to be ready before the proteins.
• On episode 12, when Ramsay left the kitchen for a few moments, Scott was running the hot plate for him. Benjamin tried to steal his job by calling out the next ticket, so he pulled the latter aside to give him a piece of his mind by furiously ordering him to never do that again.

Season 8

• On episode 3, Scott aggressively ordered Raj to leave his apron and go in the dining room after the latter was kicked out of the kitchen.
• On episode 4, he chewed out Louis for carrying pork in his bare hands and called him both a slob and a pig.
• On episode 11, Trev, who was frustrated with Sabrina's shrill voice, snapped and yelled back, and Scott went over to him and yelled at him.

Season 9

• On episode 4, after Monterray claimed that his sea bass fell apart and that there was nothing he could do about it, Scott angrily told him that all he needed to do was leave the fish on the spatula, but after Monterray kept talking back, he yelled about him not caring and not being responsible, and the argument ended with both of them saying "fuck you" to each other.
• On episode 8, he gave the blue team a to do list for their punishment, and handed Tommy some toothbrushes to clean the toilets with due to his poor leadership in the challenge.

Season 10

• On episode 1, Scott welcomed the new contestants and told them they had to shave their head in order to compete. After Sous Chef Andi showed herself in a wig that she pulled off, revealing her shaved head, he shaved the heads of two people, before calling Danielle down, and as he was about to cut her hair, Ramsay showed up and stopped him midway.
