Petrozza: Another Door, Another Day

There was actually a malfunction on the set, and my door opened along with Christina’s. Ramsay grabbed me right away and hugged me. I really didn’t know what was going on; I was kind of confused. Ramsay asked me if I forced it open and I said, “No, I just turned the handle.”

I’m a pretty quick study, so with Ramsay hugging me, I figured it out. He said “Petrozza, it’s alright,” and I just thought, ‘Christina won.’ I gave him a big hug back and went downstairs and hung out with my girlfriend and my dad. We celebrated making it as far as we did, and I congratulated Christina for the great job that she did.

I just tried to keep it real, I worked hard, I tried to be good to other people…you don’t get ahead by screwing someone else, because it just doesn’t work. I was very concerned to have Jen on my team. I was worried she would screw things up. I’m not sure she could have screwed it up any worse than she did.

Highs And Lows

My highest high was when Chef Ramsay would compliment me. There’s lessons for us all, and sometimes I need to be reminded too.

The lowest low? When I thought all was lost at the beginning. I couldn’t remember portions of the menu and kept trying to come back down to the kitchen and Ramsay would yell at me to get my ass out. I was just like, “I’m done, I can’t do it. He doesn’t even want me in there.”

Then Bobby came up and said, “C’mon man, he wants you in there. We need you.”

Christina Took The Cake

Why did Christina win? That’s the question of the day.
