A runner from Hell's Kitchen? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ski

'a runner' is the definition.
(ski is a kind of runner)

'from hell's kitchen?' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SKI' is hidden in the letters of 'hells kitchen'.

(Other definitions for ski that I've seen before include "Winter sport attachment" , "run on 26 [SNOW]" , "Use runners crossing snow" , "Snow-runner" , "Alpine runner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
