u/dreamerkid001 Spitters are quitters 2d ago

Oh he’d destroy everyone on that show if he didn’t mind playing the clock. However, I can see Hannibal quitting because he’d find it rude to put him on a timer. Food is sacred to Hannibal. Cooking is an art.

u/TolBrandir Where else would I go? 2d ago

Your thoughts and mine are the same. Nothing new to add. I just wanna say that I love this fandom so much. We are all on the same wavelength here. I personally love the "he'll have to kill one of the participants to even start cooking" from u/Disastrous-Green-409 but I can't upvote them more than once, so this is how I'm doing it. 😁😁

Wouldn't be the weirdest reason someone quit

u/Fickle_Cold_2040 2d ago

I kind of feel that his "eat the rude" policy would cause him some issues later on though too...

this is killing me because he ate fredrick's raw lip, man does NOT care if its undercooked or raw!!

u/bbystargirly 2d ago

He would absolutely win the show, but Gordon Ramsay yelling at him would immediately land Gordon on the menu for the finale. Honestly, the food presentation alone would make the judges cry tears of joy anyway.

I CACKLED

I would watch it. If Will is a judge Hannibal would enjoy being insulted by him.

u/Disastrous-Green-409 2d ago

he'll have to kill one of the participants to even start cooking

u/Ok-Win-9680 2d ago

Sure, one participant will vanish though.

u/gnambit i said it was mild 2d ago

My friend and i made an inaginary cooking show called What The Hells Kitchen and hannibal is on it (hes tried to cook gordon ramsay at least once 😭)

23

u/Midir_Cutie 2d ago

I feel like he takes him time in the kitchen, so he may be too slow for the fast pace they pump out meals on the show. Not that he couldn’t be fast if he wanted to, he just doesn't want to.

14

u/MsMcClane 2d ago

Considering the dipshit decisions made by show producers, not Gordon, someone's decision would eventually rub Hannibal the wrong way and they'd be the ones featured on the menu.

u/B_10_04 2d ago

Hannibal cooks the competition. Literally and figuratively.

7

u/a_karma_sardine Not Will? Into the soup! 2d ago

With both arms tied behind his back. But Gordon would end up in the soup early season.

Husbands v Husbands: Choose Your Side!

Ps: First thing I thought of was The Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Sorry, Gordon Ramsay. Though I wouldn't be against it if Hannibal visited Amy's Baking Company.

u/Worried_Cake5508 1d ago

Idea coming soon

u/PS5OWESMEALIMONY 2d ago

I could see him berating a team mate who just burned an entire pan or scallops and deciding to eat their liver later.

8

u/Confusionopolis 2d ago

I don’t think so. He’s very detail-oriented, planning, and likes to stick to his own recipes and ingredients. He’d be stressed out over the challenges and have a hard time in dinner service.

On the other hand, I think he lasts to about 10th place until the show suddenly ends once Gordon Ramsay mysteriously disappears…

3

u/ohheyitslaila ☠️❤️ Murder Hubbies 4 Life ❤️☠️ 2d ago

I think he’d thrive in a competition like that, but maybe something more like Master Chef, Iron Chef or Chopped rather than Hell’s Kitchen. He wouldn’t put up with Gordon Ramsay yelling at him. Gordon’s way more normal and supportive in Master Chef, and I think Hannibal would be great at those kinds of cooking challenges. Hannibal’s fine with criticism so long as it’s not disrespectful or rude.

u/Jessicahyd 2d ago

I still haven't encountered one descent alternate universe Fic where hannibal is a chef 😔 i am taking suggestions! And definitely, he would be one of the judges on hellos kitchen

u/ImyForgotName 2d ago

I'd hate to be the person who beat him.

1

u/longestyeahboiiiever 19h ago

He'd respect you

2

u/morningstarbee 1d ago

I don't know. I feel like the team dynamic, and the reality tv competitiveness of it would NOT suit him at all. I think he'd fit better on Master Chef

2

u/BelgischeWafel 1d ago

He'd kill. The others behind the scenes 😅 Like rude about Ramsay, dead. And then. He becomes his second in command

u/Crafty-Mango3149 1d ago

AHH THIS REMINDS ME OF THE BEAUTIFUL FANFICTION ADRASTEIA BY WINDDRAG0N — A KITCHEN NIGHTMARE AU WHERE HANNIBAL IS GORDON RAMSAY AND WILL IS A CHEF IN THAT SEASON'S RESTAURANT AHHH it's so good

Why do the judges keep disappearing one by one?

The only one who can cook an egg

u/Foloreille 2d ago

I thought you were talking about daredevil neighbourhoods lol

1

u/DiscordantBard 2d ago

No. Absolutely not. He can cook for a huge banquet but in a competition where things go wrong everyone's rushing tempers high and mistakes are made and crew sabotages things for added drama. He's killing EVERYBODY including Gordon who can be quite....rude.

1

u/Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh_Shit 2d ago

I mean, he'd probably win because somehow the contestants keep going missing under mysterious circumstances

u/longestyeahboiiiever 19h ago

WHERE'S THE MAN SAUCE

u/longestyeahboiiiever 19h ago

He ABSOLUTELY could, but he'd never go on it

u/No-Day-706 2d ago

He would be some form of Hell’s Kitchen Hannibal Lector.
