Reality TV chefs really never rest, because Chef Hannah Flora is already back on our screens for another high-pressure cooking competition.<\/p>\n

Chopped Castaways<\/a> premiered yesterday on Food Network<\/a>, with Hannah as one of 12 chefs stranded on a secret Caribbean island competing in what is basically Survivor meets Chopped.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Ted Allen, the series forces chefs to earn ingredients through physical challenges before cooking entirely over open fire with no modern kitchen equipment. Judges Maneet Chauhan, Marcus Samuelsson and Gabe Bertaccini decide who survives each round, all while the contestants battle exhaustion, the elements and each other for a $100,000 prize.<\/p>\n

But if Hannah Flora already looks familiar, that\u2019s because you\u2019ve definitely seen her before.<\/p>\n

The Boynton Beach, Florida private chef previously competed on season 23 of Hell\u2019s Kitchen, where she absolutely smashed it and finished as runner-up behind winner Kyle Timpson. She made it all the way to the final, which honestly explains why she probably won\u2019t be too fazed by cooking on an island with no kitchen.<\/p>\n

Outside of reality TV, Hannah works as a private chef and also writes as a columnist for Golf Kitchen. According to her professional bio, she\u2019s an award-winning executive chef, culinary consultant and \u201cculinary thought leader\u201d with more than 18 years of experience working across private country clubs, resorts and fine dining kitchens.<\/p>\n
