“Hell”s Kitchen” champ Ja”Nel Witt tested positive for cocaine … and that”s why she wasn”t allowed to accept the head-chef position at Gordon Ramsay“s restaurant in Vegas … our sources has learned.
Talk about blowing a huge opportunity …
Sources extremely familiar with the situation tell us … Caesars Palace required Witt to submit to a drug test in order to take the job as head chef at the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, the position she earned after winning Season 11 of “Hell”s Kitchen” earlier this year.
FYI — Caesars has a notoriously strict drug policy … and requires all employees to submit to drug testing.
But Witt bombed her test — one source tells us she “failed miserably” — and when Caesars found out … they quickly kicked her ass to the curb.
But there is a silver lining for Witt — we”re told she WILL receive the $250k salary … despite the fact she won”t spend a single day in the kitchen.
Fun Fact — $250,000 can buy roughly 10 kilos of cocaine … depending on the quality.
Attempts to reach Ja”Nel were not successful.
