Hell's Kitchen

Twelve chefs and restaurateurs compete to impress Gordon Ramsay as he works to open a world-class restaurant in Los Angeles and discover the country's next culinary star.

After barely surviving the opening night of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant, the contestants prepare for their second dinner service.

The budding chefs prepare for their third dinner service, but the pressure of Hell's Kitchen is too much for one contestant.

Tensions arise in the kitchen during all-Italian night at the restaurant, with one team playing dirty to get ahead.

The players attempt to re-create Gordon's signature dishes for a discerning crowd at a Los Angeles eatery.

In the first half of this two-hour special, Chef Ramsay reveals the latest twist: each team will create its own menu consisting of three appetizers, entrees and desserts.

In the final part of this two-hour special, the five remaining contestants learn that they're no longer competing as teams, but as individuals.

The four remaining chefs are given fifteen minutes and a tray of leftovers to create a meal that Chef Ramsay considers servable.

Chef Ramsay orders the three remaining contestants to serve an entire dining room. Who will create the best dish, and who will be sent home without their just desserts?

In the season finale, the final two Ñ with some help from the eliminated chefs Ñ compete in a simulation that tests their abilities to run a restaurant.
