“Just because I got eliminated doesn’t mean I’m beaten down or defeated,” says Kenny Nguyen upon entering “Last Chance Kitchen” upon his ouster from “Top Chef” in the episode “Take it Cheesy.” “I’m going to show my grandma, who gave me this necklace, that she’s the reason why I’m a little bit of a hard-ass … I’m walking into ‘Last Chance Kitchen’ with the full intention of bodying every single person that I see in that room.” But when he sees surprise 16th contestant Soo Ahn standing there waiting for him, he’s like, “Who the f*ck is this guy?” Watch episode two of “Lck,” titled “The Big Stink,” above.

Entering this first episode of the competition to win a feature in Food and Wine magazine; an appearance at the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen, Colorado; and $250,000 in prize money were Manny Barella, Kaleena Bliss, Kevin D’Andrea, Alisha Elenz, Danny Garcia, Valentine Howell Jr., Dan Jacobs, Savannah Miller, David Murphy, Kenny Nguyen, Laura Ozyilmaz, Charly Pierre, Amanda Turner, Rasika Vekatesa and Michelle Wallace.
