The website My Kitchen Apex says "the journey to securing a spot on Hell’s Kitchen begins long before you step foot in the iconic restaurant. It’s a multi-stage process designed to find the most promising, passionate, and capable chefs."

Also, "to become a contestant on Hell’s Kitchen, you must submit a comprehensive application, pass rigorous casting calls, and demonstrate exceptional culinary skills, resilience, and a compelling personality."

The Secchia Institute sure prepared Jonny for this exciting moment in his life. GRCC says they prepare students for successful careers by providing superior theoretical and hands-on education in the classical and modern culinary arts, and craft brewing.

Upon graduation from any of their degree or certificate programs, students are ready to enter an in-demand workforce.

All of the degrees will allow graduates to transfer credits toward a bachelor's degree at Ferris State University.

They have small class sizes led by real-life chefs and industry experts, and they have
been consistently awarded American Culinary Federation (ACF) accreditation with exemplary status for 30+ years.
