When I'll win this competition, I'm gonna buy two walk-in coolers. That's all I really want, it's two walk-in coolers. So I can start butchering my animals, which is what I like to do.

Andrew Forster was a contestant on Season 7 of Hell's Kitchen. He ranked in 15th place.

Season 7[]

Episode 1[]

Main article: Episode 701 - 16 Chefs Compete

During the Signature Dish Challenge, Andrew was the last person from the blue team to have his dish judged by Ramsay, and went up against Nilka. He served steak tartar before revealing he raises and butchers his own animals, and then eats them raw. He also added that if he won Hell's Kitchen he would buy two walk-in coolers. Due to Andrew’s comments about butchering animals and eating them raw, Ramsay jokingly called him the Hannibal Lecter of Hell's Kitchen. His steak tartare was criticized for being bland. Neither he nor Nilka scored a point.

Despite Andrew not scoring for his team, the blue team won the challenge anyway, due to the score being 4-3, and they were rewarded with a breakfast in bed prepared by the red team the next morning. Back in the dorms, the men felt more pressure while studying the menu for the opening night.

During dinner service, Andrew was on the meat station with Ed. He was not seen at all, and after three of his teammates were kicked out, the blue team merged with the red team to serve all the remaining customers. The blue team won the service.[1]

Episode 2[]

Main article: Episode 702 - 15 Chefs Compete

Back in the dorms, Andrew convinced his teammates that they all knew how to cook food while adding that they had to be confident in themselves. He continued by declaring he was not intimidated by Ramsay as he felt the food they were serving was not that good, and that he was made better food at home.

The next morning, at 5 am, the chefs were awakened by an alarm clock amplified all over the dorms by Sous Chefs Scott and Andi. During the Egg Relay Challenge, Andrew and Scott were the third pair to compete for the blue team, and they succeeded to get three out of their four eggs accepted. The blue team won the challenge 11-10, and they were rewarded with a helicopter tour of Los Angeles and lunch with Ramsay on top of a building. During the ride, he said that it was wonderful as he never saw Los Angeles before in his life and that it was the perfect way to see it.

During dinner service, Andrew was on the garnish station. At one point, he was dismayed as Mikey's risotto kept getting sent back every time, called Mikey a jackass, and revealed that Mikey was messing up everything.

Later, he was extremely focused on his garnishes, and started talking to himself while pushing Mikey away, with Ed comparing him to a maniac. Then, he asked Benjamin for a time on the salmon, Sous Chef Scott reminded him that the garnishes had to be ready before the proteins, so he started rushing while asking Jay to send the mashed potatoes to the pass for him. He started rushing the rest of his garnishes, but when the mashed potatoes were sent back for being too runny, he took the batch and started mixing them with a fresh batch he was making, much to Ramsay's dismay. Andrew asked Ramsay why it was wrong to do it, Ramsay called him an idiot, and while Ramsay explained, Andrew talked back by saying it was a brilliant idea. Ramsay explained that it would not make any difference, Andrew disagreed, and asked Ramsay if he could not cook in a sauté pan any longer. Finally, Ramsay declared that he was losing his temper. But, when Andrew continued to talk back, he was kicked out of the kitchen into the dining room, with Ramsay concluding by telling him that he got nothing right, did not care, was not having any respect, and that he was a joke to the industry.

In the dining room, he was about to walk out when Jean-Philippe tried to convince him to stay by telling him he was just being tested by Ramsay, and that there were a lot of people that would be willing to be in his shoes. However, Andrew told Jean-Philippe he was not interested in coming back. He kicked his shoes off, said that those people who were willing to be those shoes could take them, and walked out of Hell's Kitchen for good, through the front door. During his exit interview, he declared that Ramsay was likely to see him as a little prick, but that Andrew did not care what Ramsay was thinking of him, and that he was done, concluding with "Have a nice day!"

He did not receive the coat hanging and picture burning sequence, however his jacket and burnt picture were briefly shown during Mikey's coat hanging sequence.

Ramsay's comment: "That guy is fucking USELESS!" [2]
