Things are sure heating up in ConshyGirl Events & Catering Melissa Weissman’s career. The Conshohocken resident is not only enjoying a successful position with well-respected restaurant and ConshyGirls owners Kim Strengari and Marianne Gere, but she is also enjoying her new role on the hit reality television show Hotel Hell with Gordon Ramsay.

Filmed last fall in multiple locations across the country, the FOX series debuted its third season May 24 and is currently on air. The show’s premise is that Ramsay comes in and works with the owners and employees of a struggling hotel to reverse its misfortune. As a member of Ramsay’s staff, Weissman played an integral role as she helped the hotel staff implement Ramsay’s suggestions.

Her position with the show was the first time that she worked with Ramsay however Ramsay has had ties with the “ConshyGirls” for quite some time. In fact, Christina Wilson, who is currently a top executive chef for Ramsay, worked at Gypsy Saloon (one of the “ConshyGirls” four restaurants) as a chef. 

It was this relationship that helped Weissman land the job with Ramsay. Wilson reached out to Weissman to see if she would be interested and, as they say, the rest is history.

As of right now there is nothing set for the future, according to Weissman. However, if given the opportunity again she “Doesn't think she’d be able to say no. It's not often that you are given opportunities to work with such knowledgeable and amazing people.”
