Jean-Philippe Susilovic left Hell’s Kitchen to pursue other opportunities. He returned to work at Petrus, one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants in London, and has also been involved in the opening of a Belgian beer cafe in Dubai.
Jean-Philippe Susilovic was the maître d’hôtel for the first seven seasons of Hell’s Kitchen and returned for seasons 11 and 12. Known for his professionalism and sometimes fiery interactions with customers, Jean-Philippe became a familiar face to fans of the show. After his time on Hell’s Kitchen, he decided to leave the television world and return to the restaurant industry, where he had worked before his stint on TV.
His return to Petrus marked a reunion with Gordon Ramsay, as he had previously worked there before his television fame. Petrus is a Michelin-starred restaurant, and Jean-Philippe’s experience and expertise in hospitality would have been a valuable asset to the establishment.
In addition to his work at Petrus, Jean-Philippe ventured into entrepreneurship. He was involved in the opening of a Belgian beer cafe called ‘Belge’ in Dubai, which reflects his Belgian heritage. This move showcased his interest in expanding his career beyond the role of maître d’hôtel to that of a restaurateur and business owner.
Despite his departure from Hell’s Kitchen, Jean-Philippe’s legacy on the show remains, and he is remembered as one of the key personalities from the early seasons. His career post-Hell’s Kitchen demonstrates his dedication to the hospitality industry and his desire to explore new opportunities within it.
