Hells Kitchen Season 19 Finalist: Mary Lou Davis

From dishwasher to one of the most loved contestants on Hells Kitchen, Mary Lou Davis lives in San Antonio where she's the chef at Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar. Growing up, Mary Lou didn't always want to be a chef, in fact, she told her mother, Mary, that she wanted to be a Vampire or an Assassin. And as mothers should, Mama Mary encouraged her daughter to be the best at whatever she wanted to be.  Mary Lou always found herself loving food and went to the Culinary Insitute of American in San Antonio. Soon after she was approached to be on Gordon Ramsay's famous Hells Kitchen. Her mother's words of wisdom echoing in her ears, she took the opportunity of a lifetime and headed to Las Vegas to join the show, where she captured millions of food-lover hearts as she found a way to mix her love of fantasy with food.
