“They were cracking up. They just liked my personality,”said Louross about the production staff’s reaction.
Despite being only in nine episodes, Louross made an impression to the national TV audience. He wanted to bring Filipinos to the forefront. His quick flirtation with fellow contestant Corey and overt passion about cooking (he broke into tears when the team wouldn’t work together) gave the Mohawk rocking, “metrosexual” instant popularity.
He wanted to represent Filipinos and he thinks that he really went far in doing so.
“When do you ever see a Filipino on national TV? Now, people recognize me. When I come out of the kitchen, it’s Oh my God. We found you. We didn’t know you worked here. If you could only see the reaction from them when they see me. People are mad. They’re not happy that I got kicked out,” Louross said.
He describes Hell’s Kitchen as a “culinary boot camp.” Surprising as it may seem, he has nothing but kind words for the hot-tempered host Ramsey.
“He’s a gentleman. I learned so much from him. These are the guys that you want to work for. I have a newfound appreciation of food. I have passion for cooking but when I went on Hell’s kitchen, my Filipino eyes were stretched even more. He opened it up to another level.”
Louross will still be at the Ritz Carlton cooking and happy that he accomplished some of his dreams.
“My dream was to work with Chef Ramsey and it happened. That was a blessing,” he said. “I also came to represent for the Filipinos. I really wanted people to know that Filipinos can cook. We Filipinos are a welcoming people so why not welcome others with our food.” (www.asianjournal.com)
