Hell's Kitchen

In this two-hour season premiere, twelve chefs begin their journeys for the final prize: an executive chef position at the newly opened Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas.

After disastrous opening night, both teams learn the hard way about the importance of restaurant service by waiting on tables.

Frustrated after another lackluster dinner service, Chef Ramsay shares some of his experiences running a successful restaurant while setting the third night's competition.

Chef Ramsay ends the battle of the sexes, and "Hell's Kitchen" breaks new ground when the teams cook for an especially demanding group: children.

The fifth day commences with Chef Ramsay giving a lesson in the art of culinary flavor to the remaining contestants.

The six remaining chefs prepare original dishes, and the two teams devise their own menus for the night's dinner service.

The budding chefs must work as individuals for the first time. The prize for this challenge is a trip with Chef Ramsay to the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa.

The contestants taste Chef Ramsay's signature dish and are given twenty minutes to replicate it. Tensions rise amongst the chefs amidst accusations of cheating.

From the menu to the décor, the two finalists must prove their worth by running their own restaurants. Both will complete a dinner service with help from their former competitors.
