America's Top Chef Winner, Ilan Hall Cooks For You - Part I

[kalimacho1]

why everyone hate him?i bet you cant even cook omellete,PS;i dont watch season 2

[robustweather]

that is SOOOOO sad... what a pathetic apartment.

[Urfism]

Freakin shoemaker. 

[MrJoyless]

this is insulting

[Vook]

Ilan is sadistic, offensive, arrogant, and just completely heartless. He's such a horrible person down to the bone. I totally hate him. No wonder he was divorced at such a young age.

[durr21]

He is living in that apartment because he is a hipster and keeps his kitchen accordingly because he is a hipster

[jckfmsincty]

Marcel may not be very tall, but he's incredibly good looking. And, that hair! I hate Ilan's mole ridden face.  And, Sam has that fucked up, askew nose. And, he's a fucking diabetic. No, Marcel all the way.

[soulicadus]

lol u ppl need to understand he is living in a shit hole with no room to put his shit in the reason he won top chef was cause he knows how to mix flavors doesnt mean he can afford them on his own

[manuntd2009]

this guy is such an arrogant asshole, typical fake brooklyn hipster jackass.

[PrettyInPinkBoutique]

Uhm that's a bit strange kitchen for a top chef.

[Therearemen16]

ew. what a slob/

[Antiks72]

reality TV sucks. I'd rather watch Jacque and Julia.

[Firealinvader]

Do you remember Marcel?i really hate that dude...everybody hated that dude,LOL

[ivenstorm]

@Firealinvader people hated him but you couldnt deny that at least his kitchen was clean, ilan just seems to have everything there and doesnt bother to clean, its disgusting actually

[Firealinvader]

@ivenstorm you are right and i don't hate Marcel now,i commented that 10 months ago...after i saw some scenes after...i think he was in a middle of a group who wanted to kick him at first place because he was a threat for the winning place.He is a great chef i have to admit.

[shellylanette]

A guy with a hot pink shirt giving advise on what to feed a female date?

[fakewindow]

Top dirty chef

[Korash]

Not a very clean kitchen indeed. But still, it's his home, it shouldn't be related to work. I can tell from experience that when you've been working in/cleaning kitchens every day for a long time you don't like bringing the job home.

He's gone a bit too far, but you get my point.

[FlipSnipeZ]

what a jerk

[chinoischef]

Mayonaisse on oriental noodles? Is that what he said? Holy crap if it is

[TatiAnaMou]

damn thats his life after winning a top show?! that sucks!

[Lerzero]

i bet he has his own restaurant

[mettabee]

I wouldn't want someone so klutzy and messing cooking for me

[Sbagglio]

Does the label of that KOSHER Salt makes you think of something ..... , well; if not it´s OK

[philotaaveti]

baslmic vinegar on a sausage?

i try not to hate on dudes so im gonna hold back. this dude makes me feel beter about my state of household cleanliness

[elgranroberto]

What a disapoinment, I was thinking about htis guy as clean at least, I seen cleaner kitchens in prison in my country.

Rule#1 of a chef : be clean plz !

Rule #2 of a chef: get a job

Rule#3 of a chef : dress like one

[kontolraksasa]

its hard when u live in new york, and just so you know, hes opening a restaurant in LA, called the gorbals.

[rechita]

he is a bit filthy

[alexakisar8]

Marcel must be the winner not this idiot.....!

[iwannaplaycs]

wtf how disgusting can a motherfucker be?? If you fucking have guests over (a TV crew no less), you better have the common sense to straighten up your shit before they arrive!!

[screamingdean5]

Did anybody here see how the first season winner clobbered Ilan in the duck cooking part of the competetion where the first season defeated the second season in the reunion special?

[godspeed18]

this guy's a fuckin disgrace to top chef!

[AlanMolstad]

I know nothing about this guy, the show, or cooking...

However just inform me of one thing so I understand....Why did he knock the cork down into the bottle?

[Substrata32]

That Sauced its name is Morcilla its spanish,this guy is a fuckn idiot...

[rechita]

las venden en los estados unidos? que raro

[Kentpaul1986]

This guy did not deserve to win top chef season 2 because all he did was copy the menu at Casa Mono which he worked at, dont get me wrong because Marcel was a prick as well but at least he put his balls on the line and tried something different.

[saint0304]

Holy Shit!....what a fuckin' douchebag!

[waddleduckie1]

I love the show. I am such a fan of everybody in there.....:-)

[jokingkong]

I just read that this douchebag worked for Top Chef judge Tom Colocchio at one of his restaurants! Wtf?? I wasted my time watching that season of the show! Ilan definately didn't deserve Top Chef title for a couple reasons, but seeing now he was in with Chef Tom makes this show and the Top Chef title nothing in the culinary world.

Go back to cooking school Ilan and learn to serve up more then just the Spanish crap you offer! Your the Top Joke!

[poppycockeek]

Most of the people from the show come from top restaurants. A high percentage of the top restaurants are in New York. Colicchio runs one of the finest restaurants in New York, as well as a steakhouse, each of which has a large staff. They were bound to have a contestant from one of them. Just like last season, when Daniel Bouloud was a guest judge and three contestants had worked for him before.

[lihoedermo]

He is cute.

[REBORUBA]

test

[undivided21]

After watching TC2 repeat I thought it was interesting for Tom Colicchio to basically say that Ilan has won Top Chef but Marcel will be the best chef in the long run.

Ilan basically did not have the handicap of that slob Mike,what a back stabber, He should have let Mike do the washing up.

Do the stupid people not realise that every reapeat of the show will haunt them and show how flawed they are.

[REBORUBA]

Marcel lost due to arrogance alone Undivided21, he had superior chef skills, especially when taking his age into account. His down fall again was ego, if he did not allow himself to become THE most contestant he would have prevailed. Mikie was a CIA grad, I can't believe how slack he was, the guy just seemed totally baked out of his mind the whole competition, I'm mean he reminded me of Sean Penn in Fast Times @ Ridgemont High, he was stupid & did'nt give a shit...

[tebonginc]

he's cookin breakfast longanisa!!! yum yum. imported from pampanga probably.

[KingAcosta28]

No asian, from Spain, you know, the country that invented your "country".

[Mikefrommd]

ouch@

[waddleduckie1]

I love Spanish olives :-P

[jehy5]

invented? Lol. educate yourself first.

[KingAcosta28]

No Spain no Phillipines, idiot... thank god it was spain and not england, otherwise ugly "philos" would be history (I wouldn't miss them they look like shit)

[jehy5]

yeah. Spain 'created' the Philippines. you're quite entertaining for someone that stupid.

[KingAcosta28]

Yep, no Spain and those islands would be trash on the ocean (with no name) and full of the ugliest animals in the world.

[azngliger]

fuck you

[60sChildAtHeart]

i like ilan. i dont really get why people dont like him. if people think he was mean on the show or w.e it doesnt matter because one thats his personality ( and he isnt mean hes witty and funny) and second of all hes very talented and deserved to win.

[amandablue1]

I like him.....

[malpractice0]

I'm really curious why people here so hate him? I've had a lot of fun with top chef season2 esp. because of Ilan. He's cute and charm to watch as a chef and being a person.Does he have some dirty secret or rumor kinda thing? That is why you don't like him?

[bunnyponykitten]

i love him, too and definitely shocked to find that some people don't like him. who knows what these fuckers like or don't like. better yet, who cares.

[chesirekitkat]

hes so hot lol. plus i think he relates to ppl, like my room seriously looks like his heheh

[gurukid3000]

y r u lying...

[callieball]

Not a lie. Elizabeth Mellick Baker school in Great Neck, NY. We graduated from the 5th grade in 1993.  Why the fuck would I lie? If I were going to lie, I'd say I dated him or something.

[callieball]

I went to grade school with Ilan. He was that weird kid in the oversized overalls with the green hair, but he was very, very sweet. I remember that.

[jokingkong]

He's still a weirdo, there's definately something wrong with him. Maybe he was punched in the face to many times as a kid, or mommy dropped him on his head. On the show we seen exactly who he was, an asshole punk who needs a good ass kicking. Him and that ugly bitch Betty ruined Top Chef's season 2. As to his cooking abilty, it's already well know he stole from Mario Batali so in fact he's really just the Top Joke.

[santafuria2]

Wow, really professional...

[sigrino]

I think he can not forgive himself, for what he had done... Therefore the crapy appartment, and a Bull Shit life.

And thats what he trully deserves ;)

[el9nene]

YEA TRY TO AFFORD AN APARTMENT IN NY!!!in manhattan!!!OR RENT ONE I LIKE TO SEE YOU DOING THAT... ..

[cpaige00]

he won 100,000 dollars and a feature in food and wine and he still lives in that crappy ass apt?

[tigereye1964]

Don't forget the free professional kitchen set.

[primalmyths]

"get to know"?!! what the fuck is there to know? serve it forth, and get the fuck outta my face! back in the kitchen, bitch, now . . . .

[ZainKaneko]

i dunno, seeing this makes me think he's just like every other guy. not saying i liked him or anything..but compare this to the show and in the show he appeared more as a bully. and yes his apartment was hella messy, but did you see the size of it?! seriously, it looked like the size of my own bedroom

[Juntahh]

he won get over it

[y4n3r5]

He's such a tool. Didn't deserve to win.

[mongchau9]

Wow he's messy and keeps on dropping things! I thought he was cute on the show. Now...not so much. He's so unorganized and things are piled up everywhere! Yucko! :P

[Bored454]

i love him!

[DannyDaniDanee]

He is a pig isn't he?

[tigereye1964]

What was going on with that Beringer wine bottle? I have some of their Chenin Blanc 2006, it's pretty inexpensive, so now I'm wondering if the cork stuck down was a comment on its perceived quality? I like it. Am I being defensive?

[drumbago]

this guy is a freakin' slob!

[pegs3rgio]

ay dinobravo420, go suck a fat cock, nd dont call call me donkey u dont know shit bout how this guy cooks. i bet if u tried it ull bee all over dis bitch, so go f urself!!

[krelbar]

Marcel was wayyy beter.

[pussycruncher69]

It's too funny to see that he has Easy Mac in above his stove and his tirade about women like fish, get em' boned and say that they're all natural breasts.

[pussycruncher69]

This guy is so obviously fucked up in this video, he's probably blowing his 100 grand on drugs. Props to him for being so fucked up in the video.

[fingerglove]

i hope his restaurant is more organized than his kitchen at home

[pegs3rgio]

i actually know ilan, hez my older brothers best friend, he came 2 my house for a barbecue, he cooked some crazy ass pasta, which waz amzing!!

[dinobravo420]

any retard can cook crazy pasta . you mac and cheese eating donkey. Im talking about class and respect for your crown in his case he was crowned Top Chef he looks like he only deserves the burger king crown. Oh and it reflects on the credibility of the show and directly on the judges who are like royalty in there circle.

[dinobravo420]

Marcel was the true winner but his downfall was letting that FAT FUCK Mike join his final team he left the fish back at the home base on purpose. If i were Marcel i would have put horse laxative in FAT MIKES BEER OH AND IF YOU GO TO MIKES MY SPACE HE HAS PICS OF HIM AND IIAN PARTYING AFTER THE SHOWS FINALE

[dinobravo420]

Marcel was the true winner but his downfall was letting that FAT FUCK Mike join his final team he left the fish back at the home base on purpose. If i were Marcel i would have put horse laxative in FAT MIKES BEER OH AND IF YOU GO TO MIKES MY SPACE HE HAS PICS OF HIM AND IIAN PARTYING AFTER THE SHOWS FINALE

[wakeforest77]

Marcel should have one

[299912]

Ive watched a few episodes, its entertaining! But the skill is lacking, even Masterchef in the uk where they are amateurs have more skill :S

[pokefan098]

:O Marcel should have won

Or Otto

Or Carlos

Or anyone else

[godspeed18]

how can a top chef winner cook that shit? disgusting and undeserving little bitch!

[noosaslayer]

What do you expect, Americans... Good food to them is a Big Mac, Fatass Nation!

[drruffin]

Go go stereotypes. Hey, I'm american and I hate big macks. But hey, can't blame you for your assumption becasue you dont live here? ?_?

[noosaslayer]

Aren't you guys now the fattest Nation?

[BurtonKelly12]

I think the judges picked the wrong person, Mostly that kitchen doesn't look clean and he keeps dropping stuff.

[ThsndCranes]

dude, make the show. id watch!

[andrewgilbert01]

Uh....I lived in a really small studio and I have some advise for Illan, clean up the pig stye already! Small places suck but they suck worse if you never clean and put stuff away.

[ilindah]

@andrewgilbert01 exactly and is not a good look if people think about his unhygienic ass cooking for you eekkk

[anthurion1]

@andrewgilbert01 worst fucknig cook ever.  what a faggot! shittiest cook ever!!!

[lemonvodka2003]

oh My God !

what a horrible kitchen !!! how he could win top chef !

I have never seen such a dirty place... and what is he cooking? he is not a chef !!

[ilargitxo2]

is he spanish? I've heard he was but he has not accent right?

[hbfarmer]

he's not spanish.

he's jewish. he cooks alot of spanish food.

[BruceWayne]

Gordan ramsay would be shocked if he sees that.

[tunenas]

I can handle messy, but never dirty living spaces. His place looks like pig-sty.

[hazel1050]

It's not completely his fault that his house is a mess. His apartment is the size of the closet! He has no place to put anything! It is hard to live in such a small living space.

[JCMOLFINO]

go get a life! this was all planned...controversy : TOP AUDIENCE!

[hikari777str]

OMG! I love Ian, he is amazing but stupid!

Marcel stinks haha!

Adios!

[jsh3309]

Say what you want, Marcel was still better. Atleast Hung got some payback!

Ilan sucks!!

[chapeauetbarbe]

Damn his apartment looks stinky man, lol..you would think that he did'nt know they were coming, lol..

[RachelNYC8826]

I read on the JuliB site that Dave Martin is cooking at a new restaurant in NYC... is Ilan Hall cooking somewhere?

[chesirekitkat]

restaurants aren't successful until after it's been established for 3 years

[tknow92]

And for those who think Sam should have won, he didn't cook anything in the final 4. His and Ilan's were the next best and it came down to Sam not actually cooking anything. Ilan is the rightful winner of Top Chef. And besides, if you go into the home of almost any great chef, it will most likely look like that. Chefs always cook better food for people eating at their restaurants than for themselves. They don't have time to cook for themselves.

[Nisofu]

Well, the name of the show isn't Top Cook, it's Top Chef.

[tknow92]

Ilan deserved to win because Marcel, in the final round, failed to produce compared to Ilan. Marcel made a salad and Coliccio said even with the droplets, it would still be just a salad. And Marcel didn't make the thing without the fish, it was Sam's creation.

[joshdiaz]

I do agree about the salad, but do u also remember that he just came out of school? Now, remember that one dish when one of the judges said, i can still feel all those flavors dancing in my mouth. If it wasnt for the salad he would've won. besides, Illan's childish attitude was disgusting, fighting with marcel for no important reason, i mean its all about the food, I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN THEY ALL TRIED TO ACCUSE MARCEL AND TOM TOLD ALL OF THEM I DONT CARE ABOUT UR ATTITUDE, I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD!

[tknow92]

Top Chef made Marcel look like a victim. He was really an ass. And very, very, very arrogant.

[TheAtraxRobustus]

TOP CHEF WINNERS DECISION WAS RIGGED.

[MusicalTheaterRocks]

ugh, I hated Ilan...he was such a freak and he still is...I mean look at how he's dropping everything he is a retard Even though everyone hated Marcel I thought he was a good chef and seemed like a nice person if you took the time to know him and not judge him right away like everyone did.....so I say GO MARCEL, YOU ROCK and ILAN YOU STINK

[renegade15]

cocaine hahah , yo hes a good chef without a doubt, but he shouldn't have won that there was easily a few people i can see having won over him.

[kuvar011]

Hello Idiot, can you tell me , where did you won? You are the chef!!!!What a joke? Can you see that you're living like a pig! Your flat is real disaster. I'm asking American Culinary assosiation is this you student, or what?I wouldn't let him work as a kitchen helper, not as a chef. DISASTER!!!!!SCANDAL!!!!

[vsq22]

omg its a mess

[BushidoBen]

ian is a loser. he didnt deserve to win. i seen the 1st season and 2nd one. dont matter how good you are as a chef, if you dont get along with others, you wont win. marcel should of won cause hes a better chef, its just that marcel didnt get along with others. funny thing is that i like him better then any other competitors on the show

[plumgreen]

it looks like he's so high in this.

[plumgreen]

coke?

[ufruitcake]

that rchel ray crack is gonna get his ass beat one day....

[Angelsweet79]

Sweet Jesus....I wouldnt eat anything cooked by him because Id be too friggin afraid that Id catch something!! His apartment is filthy and if thats how he lives then Id hate to see how his kitchen in a dineing establishment would look. Department of Health BEWARE!!!

[vkaminsky]

I cannot imagine eating anything prepared by someone who lives in such squalor and filth.

[futurprezz]

is he jewish?

[puggysoo]

When will he come out of the closet? I know he's just itching to

[chapeauetbarbe]

He must be joking. Come on Ilan, maybe you should move back home and be retrained by your folks - or - maybe not. Maybe needs those cheeky british women should come over and pick on him. Ilan was my least favorite chef anyways, he pulled out the same spanish bag of tricks at every challenge, very limited. I prefered the girl who shaved her head, she had the most talent, Marcel was a great chef but a real prick of a personality.

[amaximc]

I HOPE HIS DREAMS Become a reality. however, his apartment is in no condition to be an example for others when his apartment is unorganized and he is dropping something every five minutes. Good luck though- in this industry, i know , it's difficult and stressful and sometimes u wanna cry and run and scream, but u cant cause this is what u need to do.

[TreCoolIsMineBetch66]

Ahhhgggg he's so hott.

I want him to cook for me.

v.v

Unfair.

[snarkytart4u]

He's hot and Rachel Ray is a dumb bitch.

[paigeygrey]

Sexy

[poisonsilentenigma]

Illan is such a douche bag, he is nothing but a glorified Spanish, line cook. What a joke that he won Season 2...Sam should've won...

[dukefreed2000]

do you have more footage or is the dry chanterelle thing a disaster??

[sugarberi]

So he pushes the cork down into the bottle and whatever filfy germs on there are now in the wine. Mmmm. Brave intrepid reporter to eat Ilan's food.

[presspass]

Check out the out take we posted as a video response to this video. I think you will be surprised how fithy his kitchen really is.

[presspass]

We are posting one more video (as a video response) out take where you can see Ilan Hall talk trash about other celebrity chef's. Make sure to check it out.

[peruanav]

Ilan sucks! What a slob! And dissing Rachael Ray? Who does he think he is. Go Marcel!!!

[OCsFashionista]

hes so cute on 2:27 when hes talking about rachel ray lol
