That just goes to show you how much television I watch. Danny Veltri, winner of 'Hell's Kitchen' runs "Flip Flops" over at New Smyrna Beach...tiny restaurant...good food. In fact, the restaurant just moved last month to a bigger facility, taking over a closed Shells restaurant and effectively tripling its seating space.
But conquering hero of Hell's Kitchen in TV-Land??
Of course, now that I know this, he's leaving town...off to bigger and sweeter opportunities.
Here's some info from the Internet:

Last night the laid back chef from Edgewater, Florida became the youngest winner of Chef Gordon Ramsay's cooking competition show. Veltri was an accomplished 23-year-old before he even decided to apply for Hell's Kitchen, having already started and run his own restaurant for a number of years. And now his resume is all the more impressive: he just earned an executive chef position at a brand new fine dining restaurant in the Borgata Resort in Atlantic City and $250,000.
