The series is hosted by\ncelebrity chef\nGordon Ramsay\n, who created and appeared in the\nBritish series of the same name\n. Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio.\nA progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominees chosen (two at some points). The series notably features Ramsay's explosive anger towards contestants, which in reality is heavily dramatized for the benefit of the audience.\n[\n2\n]\nHell's Kitchen\nhas been nominated for six\nPrimetime Emmy Awards\n. A chain of\nGordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurants\nhave been opened, inspired by the show.\nIn March 2024, it was announced that\nHell's Kitchen\nwas renewed for a twenty-third and twenty-fourth season. The twenty-third season, subtitled\nHead Chefs Only\n, aired September 2024–February 2025, and the twenty-fourth season, subtitled\nBattle of the States\n, aired September 2025–January 2026.\nHell's Kitchen\nis a reality television show that uses a progressive elimination format to narrow down a field of 12 to 20 chefs to one single winner over the course of one season. The American version of\nHell's Kitchen\nfollows the same format of the British version, although the show is aired on tape delay and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs, who are also not celebrities as they are in the British version. The show was initially produced at Hell's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and a dormitory where the chefs resided while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress.\n[\n3\n]\nAt the start of each season,\nGordon Ramsay\nbreaks the chefs into two teams. With the exception of the\nfirst\n,\n18th\n, and\n21st\nseasons, this puts women on the red team and men on the blue team; each is given a chef's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders (from seasons 1–18) or around their collar (season 19 onward). The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually during challenges and work together during services to be one of the final two.\nThe show's first two seasons allowed contestants from any professional background (such as marketing executives or similar white-collar positions) to apply for the show and compete. This almost always resulted in most contestants who did not come from a culinary-related background getting eliminated early on, while contestants familiar with the industry usually lasted considerably longer. Therefore, a requirement that every contestant have some form of culinary background was adopted, starting in\nseason 3\n.\nIn challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a\nsignature dish\ncook-off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking.\nEach season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a \"taste it, now make it\" task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a \"blind taste test\" where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound-blocking headphones. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner.\nThe winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay's and\/or guest judges' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward (generally a recreational activity away from Hell's Kitchen and other potential prizes), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a mundane task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner, having to prepare the food for both kitchens, and sometimes eating something unsavory (such as food waste blended into a smoothie) for lunch.\nFrom\nseason 19\nto\nseason 21\n, and from\nseason 23\n, a high-stakes elimination challenge was conducted before the first dinner service where chefs must create a dish according to a set standard (such as the incorporation of a required ingredient or the making of a certain dish and adding a personal touch to it). The two or three chefs from each team that were deemed the worst performers were asked to present their dish to Ramsay, and the chef he deemed to have the worst dish of the challenge (or had the least amount of realistic potential to improve) was eliminated on the spot without participating in a single dinner service. However, in season 21, the contestant who was deemed the weakest, Ileana D'Silva, convinced Chef Ramsay to change his mind, allowing her to stay longer. In season 23, no contestant was eliminated through this challenge due to the quality of all the dishes put forward.\nFor dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station (appetizers, meat, fish, or garnish) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay's high standards for quality and presentation without his or the sous-chefs' assistance. Dinner service is for about 100 guests (volunteers for the show), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay's more difficult dishes including\nrisotto\nand\nBeef Wellington\n. The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients.\nMenus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic-themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. Some seasons feature a service allowing for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Later episodes may feature a private dinner service, where each team must serve a five course meal to 12 guests, with each member leading their teammates to prepare one course. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table-side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen's\nchef's table\n, or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, the last dinner service before the finale usually has each chef run the pass as a test of their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous-chefs or Ramsay himself.\nDuring a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over- or undercooked or not\nseasoned\ncorrectly, although he may send out incomplete orders to urge the chefs to get it together. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted\nsous-chefs\n, each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close their respective halves of the kitchen early and send them back to the dorms, thus ending the dinner service immediately (in the first three seasons, poor kitchen performance resulted in the restaurant being shut down and customers leaving hungry;\nseason 4\nonward resulted in chefs being eliminated early and a professional cast of chefs finishing the service instead after complaints of customers not being fed, forced a rule change). Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service (though this has largely been phased out in newer seasons in order to encourage more team-based responsibility for mistakes), and on semi-rare occasions (once every two seasons on average), may eliminate a chef on the spot. Chefs may also walk out when under pressure from Ramsay, which more often than not will lead to their withdrawal from the show.\nOnce the dinner service is complete, Ramsay gathers everyone in the kitchen, announces which team is the losing team and directs them to select one or two members of their team as nominees for elimination. It is possible that both teams are declared losers or a different number of chefs may be requested for nomination (usually three chefs in such cases). In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners but still requires them to each nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef \"best of the worst\" or \"best of the best\" on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees; this concept, however, has faded away over time due to the contestants sometimes making nominations based on personal bias rather than kitchen performance. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home but those cases are generally accompanied by a double elimination the following service, a team reassignment or occur after someone has been sent home on the spot for insubordination or exceptionally poor performance.\nRamsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and stands about ten feet away from the losing team, before choosing a random contestant on the team to announce the nominations. If there is a winning team, they will often congregate at a nearby table by Ramsay during the process. Once all nominations have been announced, Ramsay will beckon all nominated contestants (in addition, he can also void a nomination or nominate other chefs for elimination if he sees fit) from the losing team and ask each of them to explain why they should stay in Hell's Kitchen. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and \"leave Hell's Kitchen.\" On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, which may even include a chef on a winning team.\nThe eliminated chef is subsequently shown leaving the restaurant through a hallway while providing some last thoughts on the experience (in cases where contestants are eliminated mid-service or otherwise leave the competition in a non-traditional manner, they will often head back to the dorms to retrieve their belongings before their last interview). After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting their picture and signaling their departure (in the first season, he simply hung their jacket and the camera would zoom in on the eliminated chef's name). During this scene, there is a voice-over of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef; albeit humorously at times (in the first season, he simply addressed the show's progress on-camera to the viewers). If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow them to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit.\nChefs may be eliminated from the competition for medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition's rules may be immediately eliminated, mainly during dinner service. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted (with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable).\nOnce the original field is cut down to either five or six chefs (depending on what Ramsay wishes to do), they are awarded black jackets and assembled into a single team. In the most recent seasons, black jackets are awarded by a series of rigorous individual challenges rather than dinner service, with contestants not receiving black jackets being eliminated. Eliminations continue until the final two contestants are left. In some cases involving the final four contestants, a double elimination will occur to leave the final two. In\nseason 17\nand since\nseason 19\n, a change in the show's format occurred where the final three chefs cooked dishes scored by 5 guest judges, with the chef with the lowest point total being eliminated.\nIn the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a challenge to prepare their menus, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved (as long as he feels the finalist is in control of their brigade), allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. The finalists are allowed to reassign stations, or even kick their teammates out of the kitchen should they see fit; the latter has happened four times in the show's history, including Ramsay himself kicking one of the brigade members out. On one occasion, a chef had walked out of service under their own accord.\nRamsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef is said to receive two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay's choosing (with the exceptions of\nseasons 6\nand\n7\n, this has always been in the\nUnited States\n), as well as a cash prize of $250,000.\n[\n4\n]\nIn a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner. In addition, the winner hangs a picture of themselves alongside the previous winners that is seen at the restaurant's front entrance.\nIn reality, the winning chef appears to only be guaranteed the cash portion of the prize and an offer to work somewhere within Gordon Ramsay's network of restaurants. Many winners were offered a lesser role than that of head chef at the restaurant billed in their season, while some appeared to take a role completely unrelated to the one described as that season's prize.\n[\n5\n]\n^\nSeasons 1–10\n^\nSeasons 11–14\n^\nSeasons 23–24\n^\nSeasons 15–16\n^\nSeasons 17–18\n^\nSeasons 19–22\n^\nSeasons 1–3\n^\nSeasons 4–5\n^\nSeason 6\n^\nSeasons 7–14\n^\nSeason 16\n^\nSeason 15\n^\nSeasons 17–22\n^\nSeasons 23–24\nGordon Ramsay is the head chef. Jason Thompson is the narrator.\nJean-Philippe Susilovic\n, a Belgian\nmaître d'hôtel\n, comes from\nPétrus\n, one of Ramsay's London restaurants and appeared in the first seven seasons. Susilovic was also the\nmaître d'hôtel\nfor the first series of the original British version. James Lukanik replaced Susilovic for seasons eight, nine, and ten.\n[\n6\n]\nSusilovic returned for seasons 11 and 12, before being replaced on a permanent basis by Marino Monferrato. During Season 21, Marino was away between episodes two and nine, Matthew Childs temporarily filled in for him as maître d'.\n[\n7\n]\nEach team also has the services of one of two\nsous-chefs\n. Season 14 finalist and Season 17 winner Michelle Tribble is the current red team sous-chef, with James Avery returning as the current blue team sous-chef.\n[\n8\n]\n[\n9\n]\n[\n10\n]\nPrevious sous-chefs were MaryAnn Salcedo, Gloria Felix, Season 2 winner Heather West, Andi Van Willigan-Cutspec,\nScott Leibfried\n, James Avery, Aaron Mitrano, Season 10 winner Christina Wilson, James \"Jocky\" Petrie and Season 7 runner-up Jason \"Jay\" Santos. In Season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan-Cutspec (who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season). Van Willigan-Cutspec returned in Season 16 but was replaced by Wilson again for Seasons 17–22 for personal reasons.\nThe theme song is \"\nFire\n\" by the\nOhio Players\n. When the American version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries (shown on the table below), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the American version. Starting from season 17, the show changed the theme song to a short string medley. It also stopped featuring  annual contestants in the opening sequence and simply reused a sequence of Ramsay in a tense, empty kitchen.\nFor the show's first two seasons, the\nHell's Kitchen\nrestaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station\nKCOP\nat 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows\nTic Tac Dough\nand\nThe Joker's Wild\n.\n[\n11\n]\nKCOP was acquired by\nNews Corporation\nin 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate\nKTTV\nin 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant.\n[\n12\n]\nOriginally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of\nHell's Kitchen\n. The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant.\n[\n13\n]\nBefore season three, the Hell's Kitchen facility was moved to 20th Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in\nLos Angeles\n. From seasons 4–18, Hell's Kitchen's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in\nCulver City\n.\n[\n14\n]\nAccording to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place.\n[\n15\n]\nThe first 18 seasons were produced in modified warehouses in Los Angeles which included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and dormitories where the contestants resided while on the show. The nineteenth and twentieth seasons were filmed at the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the\nLas Vegas Strip\n.\n[\n16\n]\nSeasons 21 and 22 were shot\nback-to-back\nin Burbank, California, in what used to be an\nIKEA\nbuilding.\n[\n10\n]\nSeasons 23 and 24 were filmed at the\nFoxwoods Resort Casino\nin\nMashantucket, Connecticut\n.\n[\n17\n]\nAccusations of staging\n[\nedit\n]\nThe series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license,\n[\n18\n]\nmostly due to editing techniques of the producers, who splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing Amanda \"Tek\" Moore, who was already eliminated, in the background, still cooking three episodes after her elimination.\n[\n19\n]\nNotes\n^\nSeason 1 winner Michael Wray was offered the alternative choice of working at Gordon Ramsay in London but declined the offer in order to be closer to his family.\n^\nSeason 7 winner Holli Ugalde was refused a\nUK work permit\nand so was awarded the cash prize in lieu of the job at the Savoy Grill.\n^\nSeason 11 winner Ja'Nel Witt's job offer was withdrawn after she failed a drug test, but she kept the cash prize. Due to a commitment on Witt's job withdrawal, season 12 winner Scott Commings later won the job offer after winning in the next season.\n^\nOriginally competed on season 9 but left before first dinner service due to illness.\n^\nSeason 13 winner La Tasha McCutchen and Season 14 winner Meghan Gill shared head chef duties at Caesars Atlantic City.\n^\nOriginally competed on season 14, finishing third.\n^\nOriginally competed on season 7, finishing third.\n^\nSeason 18 winner Ariel Contreras-Fox declined the position at Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen in Las Vegas, preferring not to move her family from the East Coast, but agreed to participate at various of Ramsay's special events (such as the 1-year anniversary celebration of the prize restaurant).\n[\n26\n]\n[\n27\n]\n^\nOriginally competed on season 6, finishing third.\n^\nSeason 19 winner Kori Sutton declined the position at Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen in\nLake Tahoe\nfor family reasons.\n[\n28\n]\nAwards and nominations\n[\nedit\n]\nHell's Kitchen\nhas been nominated for three\nPrimetime Emmy Awards\nin the Outstanding Art Direction for Variety, Music or Nonfiction Programming category in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

The series is hosted by [celebrity chef](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celebrity_chef \"Celebrity chef\") [Gordon Ramsay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gordon_Ramsay \"Gordon Ramsay\"), who created and appeared in the [British series of the same name](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$British_TV_series\$ \"Hell's Kitchen (British TV series)\"). Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio.\n\nA progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominees chosen (two at some points). The series notably features Ramsay's explosive anger towards contestants, which in reality is heavily dramatized for the benefit of the audience.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-2) *Hell's Kitchen* has been nominated for six [Primetime Emmy Awards](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Primetime_Emmy_Awards \"Primetime Emmy Awards\"). A chain of [Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurants](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$restaurant\$ \"Hell's Kitchen (restaurant)\") have been opened, inspired by the show.\n\nIn March 2024, it was announced that *Hell's Kitchen* was renewed for a twenty-third and twenty-fourth season. The twenty-third season, subtitled *[Head Chefs Only](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Head_Chefs_Only \"Hell's Kitchen: Head Chefs Only\")*, aired September 2024–February 2025, and the twenty-fourth season, subtitled *[Battle of the States](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Battle_of_the_States \"Hell's Kitchen: Battle of the States\")*, aired September 2025–January 2026.\n\n## Format\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Format\")\\]\n\n*Hell's Kitchen* is a reality television show that uses a progressive elimination format to narrow down a field of 12 to 20 chefs to one single winner over the course of one season. The American version of *Hell's Kitchen* follows the same format of the British version, although the show is aired on tape delay and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs, who are also not celebrities as they are in the British version. The show was initially produced at Hell's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and a dormitory where the chefs resided while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20117-3)\n\nAt the start of each season, [Gordon Ramsay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gordon_Ramsay \"Gordon Ramsay\") breaks the chefs into two teams. With the exception of the [first](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_1 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 1\"), [18th](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_18 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 18\"), and [21st](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_21 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21\") seasons, this puts women on the red team and men on the blue team; each is given a chef's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders (from seasons 1–18) or around their collar (season 19 onward). The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually during challenges and work together during services to be one of the final two.\n\nThe show's first two seasons allowed contestants from any professional background (such as marketing executives or similar white-collar positions) to apply for the show and compete. This almost always resulted in most contestants who did not come from a culinary-related background getting eliminated early on, while contestants familiar with the industry usually lasted considerably longer. Therefore, a requirement that every contestant have some form of culinary background was adopted, starting in [season 3](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_3 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3\").\n\n### Challenges\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Challenges\")\\]\n\nIn challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a [signature dish](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Signature_dish \"Signature dish\") cook-off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking.\n\nEach season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a \"taste it, now make it\" task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a \"blind taste test\" where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound-blocking headphones. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner.\n\nThe winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay's and\/or guest judges' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward (generally a recreational activity away from Hell's Kitchen and other potential prizes), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a mundane task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner, having to prepare the food for both kitchens, and sometimes eating something unsavory (such as food waste blended into a smoothie) for lunch.\n\nFrom [season 19](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_19 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19\") to [season 21](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_21 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21\"), and from [season 23](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_23 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 23\"), a high-stakes elimination challenge was conducted before the first dinner service where chefs must create a dish according to a set standard (such as the incorporation of a required ingredient or the making of a certain dish and adding a personal touch to it). The two or three chefs from each team that were deemed the worst performers were asked to present their dish to Ramsay, and the chef he deemed to have the worst dish of the challenge (or had the least amount of realistic potential to improve) was eliminated on the spot without participating in a single dinner service. However, in season 21, the contestant who was deemed the weakest, Ileana D'Silva, convinced Chef Ramsay to change his mind, allowing her to stay longer. In season 23, no contestant was eliminated through this challenge due to the quality of all the dishes put forward.\n\n### Dinner service\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Dinner service\")\\]\n\nFor dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station (appetizers, meat, fish, or garnish) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay's high standards for quality and presentation without his or the sous-chefs' assistance. Dinner service is for about 100 guests (volunteers for the show), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay's more difficult dishes including [risotto](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Risotto \"Risotto\") and [Beef Wellington](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beef_Wellington \"Beef Wellington\"). The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients.\n\nMenus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic-themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. Some seasons feature a service allowing for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Later episodes may feature a private dinner service, where each team must serve a five course meal to 12 guests, with each member leading their teammates to prepare one course. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table-side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen's [chef's table](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Restaurant#Chef's_table \"Restaurant\"), or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, the last dinner service before the finale usually has each chef run the pass as a test of their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous-chefs or Ramsay himself.\n\nDuring a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over- or undercooked or not [seasoned](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seasoning \"Seasoning\") correctly, although he may send out incomplete orders to urge the chefs to get it together. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted [sous-chefs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sous-chef \"Sous-chef\"), each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close their respective halves of the kitchen early and send them back to the dorms, thus ending the dinner service immediately (in the first three seasons, poor kitchen performance resulted in the restaurant being shut down and customers leaving hungry; [season 4](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_4 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 4\") onward resulted in chefs being eliminated early and a professional cast of chefs finishing the service instead after complaints of customers not being fed, forced a rule change). Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service (though this has largely been phased out in newer seasons in order to encourage more team-based responsibility for mistakes), and on semi-rare occasions (once every two seasons on average), may eliminate a chef on the spot. Chefs may also walk out when under pressure from Ramsay, which more often than not will lead to their withdrawal from the show.\n\n### Elimination\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: Elimination\")\\]\n\nOnce the dinner service is complete, Ramsay gathers everyone in the kitchen, announces which team is the losing team and directs them to select one or two members of their team as nominees for elimination. It is possible that both teams are declared losers or a different number of chefs may be requested for nomination (usually three chefs in such cases). In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners but still requires them to each nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef \"best of the worst\" or \"best of the best\" on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees; this concept, however, has faded away over time due to the contestants sometimes making nominations based on personal bias rather than kitchen performance. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home but those cases are generally accompanied by a double elimination the following service, a team reassignment or occur after someone has been sent home on the spot for insubordination or exceptionally poor performance.\n\nRamsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and stands about ten feet away from the losing team, before choosing a random contestant on the team to announce the nominations. If there is a winning team, they will often congregate at a nearby table by Ramsay during the process. Once all nominations have been announced, Ramsay will beckon all nominated contestants (in addition, he can also void a nomination or nominate other chefs for elimination if he sees fit) from the losing team and ask each of them to explain why they should stay in Hell's Kitchen. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and \"leave Hell's Kitchen.\" On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, which may even include a chef on a winning team.\n\nThe eliminated chef is subsequently shown leaving the restaurant through a hallway while providing some last thoughts on the experience (in cases where contestants are eliminated mid-service or otherwise leave the competition in a non-traditional manner, they will often head back to the dorms to retrieve their belongings before their last interview). After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting their picture and signaling their departure (in the first season, he simply hung their jacket and the camera would zoom in on the eliminated chef's name). During this scene, there is a voice-over of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef; albeit humorously at times (in the first season, he simply addressed the show's progress on-camera to the viewers). If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow them to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit.\n\nChefs may be eliminated from the competition for medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition's rules may be immediately eliminated, mainly during dinner service. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted (with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable).\n\nOnce the original field is cut down to either five or six chefs (depending on what Ramsay wishes to do), they are awarded black jackets and assembled into a single team. In the most recent seasons, black jackets are awarded by a series of rigorous individual challenges rather than dinner service, with contestants not receiving black jackets being eliminated. Eliminations continue until the final two contestants are left. In some cases involving the final four contestants, a double elimination will occur to leave the final two. In [season 17](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_17 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 17\") and since [season 19](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_19 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19\"), a change in the show's format occurred where the final three chefs cooked dishes scored by 5 guest judges, with the chef with the lowest point total being eliminated.\n\n### Final service\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=5 \"Edit section: Final service\")\\]\n\nIn the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a challenge to prepare their menus, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved (as long as he feels the finalist is in control of their brigade), allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. The finalists are allowed to reassign stations, or even kick their teammates out of the kitchen should they see fit; the latter has happened four times in the show's history, including Ramsay himself kicking one of the brigade members out. On one occasion, a chef had walked out of service under their own accord.\n\nRamsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef is said to receive two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay's choosing (with the exceptions of [seasons 6](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_6 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 6\") and [7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_7 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7\"), this has always been in the [United States](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States \"United States\")), as well as a cash prize of \\$250,000.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20115-4) In a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner. In addition, the winner hangs a picture of themselves alongside the previous winners that is seen at the restaurant's front entrance.\n\nIn reality, the winning chef appears to only be guaranteed the cash portion of the prize and an offer to work somewhere within Gordon Ramsay's network of restaurants. Many winners were offered a lesser role than that of head chef at the restaurant billed in their season, while some appeared to take a role completely unrelated to the one described as that season's prize.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-5)\n\n##

Susilovic was also the [maître d'hôtel](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ma%C3%AEtre_d%27h%C3%B4tel \"Maître d'hôtel\") for the first series of the original British version. James Lukanik replaced Susilovic for seasons eight, nine, and ten.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-20) Susilovic returned for seasons 11 and 12, before being replaced on a permanent basis by Marino Monferrato.

In Season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan-Cutspec (who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season). Van Willigan-Cutspec returned in Season 16 but was replaced by Wilson again for Seasons 17–22 for personal reasons.\n\n## Production\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=7 \"Edit section: Production\")\\]\n\n### Broadcasting\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=8 \"Edit section: Broadcasting\")\\]\n\nThe theme song is \"[Fire](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fire_\$Ohio_Players_song\$ \"Fire (Ohio Players song)\")\" by the [Ohio Players](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ohio_Players \"Ohio Players\"). When the American version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries (shown on the table below), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the American version. Starting from season 17, the show changed the theme song to a short string medley. It also stopped featuring annual contestants in the opening sequence and simply reused a sequence of Ramsay in a tense, empty kitchen.\n\n### Setting\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=9 \"Edit section: Setting\")\\]\n\nFor the show's first two seasons, the *Hell's Kitchen* restaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station [KCOP](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KCOP \"KCOP\") at 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows *[Tic Tac Dough](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tic_Tac_Dough \"Tic Tac Dough\")* and *[The Joker's Wild](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Joker%27s_Wild \"The Joker's Wild\")*.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-realitytvcalendar-25) KCOP was acquired by [News Corporation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/News_Corporation_\$1980%E2%80%932013\$ \"News Corporation (1980–2013)\") in 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate [KTTV](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KTTV \"KTTV\") in 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-labizjournalstudio-26) Originally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of *Hell's Kitchen*. The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-nypostkcop-27)\n\nBefore season three, the Hell's Kitchen facility was moved to 20th Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in [Los Angeles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Los_Angeles \"Los Angeles\"). From seasons 4–18, Hell's Kitchen's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in [Culver City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Culver_City,_California \"Culver City, California\").[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-28) According to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place.[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20113-29)\n\nThe first 18 seasons were produced in modified warehouses in Los Angeles which included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and dormitories where the contestants resided while on the show. The nineteenth and twentieth seasons were filmed at the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the [Las Vegas Strip](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Las_Vegas_Strip \"Las Vegas Strip\").[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-30) Seasons 21 and 22 were shot [back-to-back](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Back-to-back_film_production \"Back-to-back film production\") in Burbank, California, in what used to be an [IKEA](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IKEA \"IKEA\") building.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-Season21-24) Seasons 23 and 24 were filmed at the [Foxwoods Resort Casino](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Foxwoods_Resort_Casino \"Foxwoods Resort Casino\") in [Mashantucket, Connecticut](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mashantucket,_Connecticut \"Mashantucket, Connecticut\").[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-31)\n\n### Accusations of staging\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=10 \"Edit section: Accusations of staging\")\\]\n\nThe series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license,[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-32) mostly due to editing techniques of the producers, who splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing Amanda \"Tek\" Moore, who was already eliminated, in the background, still cooking three episodes after her elimination.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-33)\n\n## Series overview\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=11 \"Edit section: Series overview\")\\]\n\nMain article: [List of Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) episodes](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_episodes \"List of Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) episodes\")\n\n| Season | Original run | Winner | Runner-up | No. of contestants | Winner's prize |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| [1](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_1 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 1\") | May 30 – August 1, 2005 | Michael Wray | [Ralph Pagano](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ralph_Pagano \"Ralph Pagano\") | 12 | Tatou in [Los Angeles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Los_Angeles \"Los Angeles\")[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-34) |\n| [2](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_2 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 2\") | June 12 – August 14, 2006 | Heather West | Virginia Dalbeck | Terra Rossa at [Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Red_Rock_Resort_Spa_and_Casino \"Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino\") in Las Vegas |   |\n| [3](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_3 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3\") | June 4 – August 13, 2007 | [Rock Harper](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rock_Harper \"Rock Harper\") | Bonnie Muirhead | Terra Verde at [Green Valley Ranch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Green_Valley_Ranch \"Green Valley Ranch\") in [Henderson](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henderson,_Nevada \"Henderson, Nevada\") |   |\n| [4](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_4 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 4\") | April 1 – July 8, 2008 | [Christina Machamer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christina_Machamer \"Christina Machamer\") | Louis Petrozza | 15 | London West Hollywood in Los Angeles |\n| [5](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_5 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 5\") | January 29 – May 14, 2009 | Danny Veltri | Paula da Silva | 16 | Fornelletto at [the Borgata](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Borgata \"The Borgata\") in [Atlantic City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey \"Atlantic City, New Jersey\") |\n| [6](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_6 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 6\") | July 21 – October 13, 2009 | Dave Levey | Kevin Cottle | 17 | Araxi Restaurant and Bar in [Whistler](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Whistler,_British_Columbia \"Whistler, British Columbia\") |\n| [7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_7 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7\") | June 1 – August 10, 2010 | Holli Ugalde | [Jason \"Jay\" Santos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jason_Santos \"Jason Santos\") | 16 | Savoy Grill at [Savoy Hotel](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Savoy_Hotel \"Savoy Hotel\") in London[\\[b\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-35) |\n| [8](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_8 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 8\") | September 22 – December 15, 2010 | Nona Sivley | Russell Kook II | [LA Market](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/L.A._Live \"L.A.

The series is hosted by [celebrity chef](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celebrity_chef \"Celebrity chef\") [Gordon Ramsay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gordon_Ramsay \"Gordon Ramsay\"), who created and appeared in the [British series of the same name](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$British_TV_series\$ \"Hell's Kitchen (British TV series)\"). Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio.\n\nA progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominees chosen (two at some points). The series notably features Ramsay's explosive anger towards contestants, which in reality is heavily dramatized for the benefit of the audience.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-2) *Hell's Kitchen* has been nominated for six [Primetime Emmy Awards](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Primetime_Emmy_Awards \"Primetime Emmy Awards\"). A chain of [Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurants](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$restaurant\$ \"Hell's Kitchen (restaurant)\") have been opened, inspired by the show.\n\nIn March 2024, it was announced that *Hell's Kitchen* was renewed for a twenty-third and twenty-fourth season. The twenty-third season, subtitled *[Head Chefs Only](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Head_Chefs_Only \"Hell's Kitchen: Head Chefs Only\")*, aired September 2024–February 2025, and the twenty-fourth season, subtitled *[Battle of the States](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Battle_of_the_States \"Hell's Kitchen: Battle of the States\")*, aired September 2025–January 2026.\n\n*Hell's Kitchen* is a reality television show that uses a progressive elimination format to narrow down a field of 12 to 20 chefs to one single winner over the course of one season. The American version of *Hell's Kitchen* follows the same format of the British version, although the show is aired on tape delay and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs, who are also not celebrities as they are in the British version. The show was initially produced at Hell's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and a dormitory where the chefs resided while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20117-3)\n\nAt the start of each season, [Gordon Ramsay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gordon_Ramsay \"Gordon Ramsay\") breaks the chefs into two teams. With the exception of the [first](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_1 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 1\"), [18th](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_18 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 18\"), and [21st](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_21 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21\") seasons, this puts women on the red team and men on the blue team; each is given a chef's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders (from seasons 1–18) or around their collar (season 19 onward). The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually during challenges and work together during services to be one of the final two.\n\nThe show's first two seasons allowed contestants from any professional background (such as marketing executives or similar white-collar positions) to apply for the show and compete. This almost always resulted in most contestants who did not come from a culinary-related background getting eliminated early on, while contestants familiar with the industry usually lasted considerably longer. Therefore, a requirement that every contestant have some form of culinary background was adopted, starting in [season 3](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_3 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3\").\n\nIn challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a [signature dish](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Signature_dish \"Signature dish\") cook-off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking.\n\nEach season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a \"taste it, now make it\" task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a \"blind taste test\" where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound-blocking headphones. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner.\n\nThe winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay's and\/or guest judges' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward (generally a recreational activity away from Hell's Kitchen and other potential prizes), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a mundane task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner, having to prepare the food for both kitchens, and sometimes eating something unsavory (such as food waste blended into a smoothie) for lunch.\n\nFrom [season 19](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_19 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19\") to [season 21](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_21 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21\"), and from [season 23](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_23 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 23\"), a high-stakes elimination challenge was conducted before the first dinner service where chefs must create a dish according to a set standard (such as the incorporation of a required ingredient or the making of a certain dish and adding a personal touch to it). The two or three chefs from each team that were deemed the worst performers were asked to present their dish to Ramsay, and the chef he deemed to have the worst dish of the challenge (or had the least amount of realistic potential to improve) was eliminated on the spot without participating in a single dinner service. However, in season 21, the contestant who was deemed the weakest, Ileana D'Silva, convinced Chef Ramsay to change his mind, allowing her to stay longer. In season 23, no contestant was eliminated through this challenge due to the quality of all the dishes put forward.\n\nFor dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station (appetizers, meat, fish, or garnish) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay's high standards for quality and presentation without his or the sous-chefs' assistance. Dinner service is for about 100 guests (volunteers for the show), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay's more difficult dishes including [risotto](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Risotto \"Risotto\") and [Beef Wellington](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beef_Wellington \"Beef Wellington\"). The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients.\n\nMenus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic-themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. Some seasons feature a service allowing for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Later episodes may feature a private dinner service, where each team must serve a five course meal to 12 guests, with each member leading their teammates to prepare one course. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table-side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen's [chef's table](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Restaurant#Chef's_table \"Restaurant\"), or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, the last dinner service before the finale usually has each chef run the pass as a test of their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous-chefs or Ramsay himself.\n\nDuring a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over- or undercooked or not [seasoned](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seasoning \"Seasoning\") correctly, although he may send out incomplete orders to urge the chefs to get it together. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted [sous-chefs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sous-chef \"Sous-chef\"), each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close their respective halves of the kitchen early and send them back to the dorms, thus ending the dinner service immediately (in the first three seasons, poor kitchen performance resulted in the restaurant being shut down and customers leaving hungry; [season 4](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_4 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 4\") onward resulted in chefs being eliminated early and a professional cast of chefs finishing the service instead after complaints of customers not being fed, forced a rule change). Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service (though this has largely been phased out in newer seasons in order to encourage more team-based responsibility for mistakes), and on semi-rare occasions (once every two seasons on average), may eliminate a chef on the spot. Chefs may also walk out when under pressure from Ramsay, which more often than not will lead to their withdrawal from the show.\n\nOnce the dinner service is complete, Ramsay gathers everyone in the kitchen, announces which team is the losing team and directs them to select one or two members of their team as nominees for elimination. It is possible that both teams are declared losers or a different number of chefs may be requested for nomination (usually three chefs in such cases). In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners but still requires them to each nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef \"best of the worst\" or \"best of the best\" on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees; this concept, however, has faded away over time due to the contestants sometimes making nominations based on personal bias rather than kitchen performance. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home but those cases are generally accompanied by a double elimination the following service, a team reassignment or occur after someone has been sent home on the spot for insubordination or exceptionally poor performance.\n\nRamsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and stands about ten feet away from the losing team, before choosing a random contestant on the team to announce the nominations. If there is a winning team, they will often congregate at a nearby table by Ramsay during the process. Once all nominations have been announced, Ramsay will beckon all nominated contestants (in addition, he can also void a nomination or nominate other chefs for elimination if he sees fit) from the losing team and ask each of them to explain why they should stay in Hell's Kitchen. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and \"leave Hell's Kitchen.\" On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, which may even include a chef on a winning team.\n\nThe eliminated chef is subsequently shown leaving the restaurant through a hallway while providing some last thoughts on the experience (in cases where contestants are eliminated mid-service or otherwise leave the competition in a non-traditional manner, they will often head back to the dorms to retrieve their belongings before their last interview). After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting their picture and signaling their departure (in the first season, he simply hung their jacket and the camera would zoom in on the eliminated chef's name). During this scene, there is a voice-over of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef; albeit humorously at times (in the first season, he simply addressed the show's progress on-camera to the viewers). If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow them to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit.\n\nChefs may be eliminated from the competition for medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition's rules may be immediately eliminated, mainly during dinner service. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted (with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable).\n\nOnce the original field is cut down to either five or six chefs (depending on what Ramsay wishes to do), they are awarded black jackets and assembled into a single team. In the most recent seasons, black jackets are awarded by a series of rigorous individual challenges rather than dinner service, with contestants not receiving black jackets being eliminated. Eliminations continue until the final two contestants are left. In some cases involving the final four contestants, a double elimination will occur to leave the final two. In [season 17](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_17 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 17\") and since [season 19](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_19 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19\"), a change in the show's format occurred where the final three chefs cooked dishes scored by 5 guest judges, with the chef with the lowest point total being eliminated.\n\nIn the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a challenge to prepare their menus, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved (as long as he feels the finalist is in control of their brigade), allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. The finalists are allowed to reassign stations, or even kick their teammates out of the kitchen should they see fit; the latter has happened four times in the show's history, including Ramsay himself kicking one of the brigade members out. On one occasion, a chef had walked out of service under their own accord.\n\nRamsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef is said to receive two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay's choosing (with the exceptions of [seasons 6](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_6 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 6\") and [7](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$_season_7 \"Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7\"), this has always been in the [United States](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States \"United States\")), as well as a cash prize of \\$250,000.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20115-4) In a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner. In addition, the winner hangs a picture of themselves alongside the previous winners that is seen at the restaurant's front entrance.\n\nIn reality, the winning chef appears to only be guaranteed the cash portion of the prize and an offer to work somewhere within Gordon Ramsay's network of restaurants. Many winners were offered a lesser role than that of head chef at the restaurant billed in their season, while some appeared to take a role completely unrelated to the one described as that season's prize.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-5)\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-6)** Seasons 1–10\n2. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-7)** Seasons 11–14\n3. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-23-24_8-0)** Seasons 23–24\n4. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-9)** Seasons 15–16\n5. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-10)** Seasons 17–18\n6. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-11)** Seasons 19–22\n7. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-12)** Seasons 1–3\n8. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-13)** Seasons 4–5\n9. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-14)** Season 6\n10. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-15)** Seasons 7–14\n11. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-16)** Season 16\n12. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-17)** Season 15\n13. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-18)** Seasons 17–22\n14. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-19)** Seasons 23–24\n\nGordon Ramsay is the head chef.

In Season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan-Cutspec (who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season). Van Willigan-Cutspec returned in Season 16 but was replaced by Wilson again for Seasons 17–22 for personal reasons.\n\nThe theme song is \"[Fire](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fire_\$Ohio_Players_song\$ \"Fire (Ohio Players song)\")\" by the [Ohio Players](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ohio_Players \"Ohio Players\"). When the American version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries (shown on the table below), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the American version. Starting from season 17, the show changed the theme song to a short string medley. It also stopped featuring annual contestants in the opening sequence and simply reused a sequence of Ramsay in a tense, empty kitchen.\n\nFor the show's first two seasons, the *Hell's Kitchen* restaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station [KCOP](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KCOP \"KCOP\") at 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows *[Tic Tac Dough](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tic_Tac_Dough \"Tic Tac Dough\")* and *[The Joker's Wild](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Joker%27s_Wild \"The Joker's Wild\")*.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-realitytvcalendar-25) KCOP was acquired by [News Corporation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/News_Corporation_\$1980%E2%80%932013\$ \"News Corporation (1980–2013)\") in 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate [KTTV](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KTTV \"KTTV\") in 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-labizjournalstudio-26) Originally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of *Hell's Kitchen*. The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-nypostkcop-27)\n\nBefore season three, the Hell's Kitchen facility was moved to 20th Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in [Los Angeles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Los_Angeles \"Los Angeles\"). From seasons 4–18, Hell's Kitchen's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in [Culver City](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Culver_City,_California \"Culver City, California\").[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-28) According to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place.[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20113-29)\n\nThe first 18 seasons were produced in modified warehouses in Los Angeles which included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and dormitories where the contestants resided while on the show. The nineteenth and twentieth seasons were filmed at the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the [Las Vegas Strip](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Las_Vegas_Strip \"Las Vegas Strip\").[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-30) Seasons 21 and 22 were shot [back-to-back](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Back-to-back_film_production \"Back-to-back film production\") in Burbank, California, in what used to be an [IKEA](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IKEA \"IKEA\") building.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-Season21-24) Seasons 23 and 24 were filmed at the [Foxwoods Resort Casino](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Foxwoods_Resort_Casino \"Foxwoods Resort Casino\") in [Mashantucket, Connecticut](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mashantucket,_Connecticut \"Mashantucket, Connecticut\").[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-31)\n\n### Accusations of staging\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$&action=edit&section=10 \"Edit section: Accusations of staging\")\\]\n\nThe series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license,[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-32) mostly due to editing techniques of the producers, who splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing Amanda \"Tek\" Moore, who was already eliminated, in the background, still cooking three episodes after her elimination.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_note-33)\n\nNotes\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-34)** Season 1 winner Michael Wray was offered the alternative choice of working at Gordon Ramsay in London but declined the offer in order to be closer to his family.\n2. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-35)** Season 7 winner Holli Ugalde was refused a [UK work permit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Work_permit_\$United_Kingdom\$ \"Work permit (United Kingdom)\") and so was awarded the cash prize in lieu of the job at the Savoy Grill.\n3. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hell%27s_Kitchen_\$American_TV_series\$#cite_ref-37)** Season 11 winner Ja'Nel Witt's job offer was withdrawn after she failed a drug test, but she kept the cash prize.

The series is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay , who created and appeared in the British series of the same name . Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio. A progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominees chosen (two at some points). The series notably features Ramsay's explosive anger towards contestants, which in reality is heavily dramatized for the benefit of the audience. [ 2 ] Hell's Kitchen has been nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards . A chain of Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurants have been opened, inspired by the show. In March 2024, it was announced that Hell's Kitchen was renewed for a twenty-third and twenty-fourth season. The twenty-third season, subtitled Head Chefs Only , aired September 2024–February 2025, and the twenty-fourth season, subtitled Battle of the States , aired September 2025–January 2026. Hell's Kitchen is a reality television show that uses a progressive elimination format to narrow down a field of 12 to 20 chefs to one single winner over the course of one season. The American version of Hell's Kitchen follows the same format of the British version, although the show is aired on tape delay and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs, who are also not celebrities as they are in the British version. The show was initially produced at Hell's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and a dormitory where the chefs resided while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress. [ 3 ] At the start of each season, Gordon Ramsay breaks the chefs into two teams. With the exception of the first , 18th , and 21st seasons, this puts women on the red team and men on the blue team; each is given a chef's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders (from seasons 1–18) or around their collar (season 19 onward). The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually during challenges and work together during services to be one of the final two. The show's first two seasons allowed contestants from any professional background (such as marketing executives or similar white-collar positions) to apply for the show and compete. This almost always resulted in most contestants who did not come from a culinary-related background getting eliminated early on, while contestants familiar with the industry usually lasted considerably longer. Therefore, a requirement that every contestant have some form of culinary background was adopted, starting in season 3 . In challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a signature dish cook-off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking. Each season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a "taste it, now make it" task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a "blind taste test" where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound-blocking headphones. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner. The winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay's and/or guest judges' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward (generally a recreational activity away from Hell's Kitchen and other potential prizes), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a mundane task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner, having to prepare the food for both kitchens, and sometimes eating something unsavory (such as food waste blended into a smoothie) for lunch. From season 19 to season 21 , and from season 23 , a high-stakes elimination challenge was conducted before the first dinner service where chefs must create a dish according to a set standard (such as the incorporation of a required ingredient or the making of a certain dish and adding a personal touch to it). The two or three chefs from each team that were deemed the worst performers were asked to present their dish to Ramsay, and the chef he deemed to have the worst dish of the challenge (or had the least amount of realistic potential to improve) was eliminated on the spot without participating in a single dinner service. However, in season 21, the contestant who was deemed the weakest, Ileana D'Silva, convinced Chef Ramsay to change his mind, allowing her to stay longer. In season 23, no contestant was eliminated through this challenge due to the quality of all the dishes put forward. For dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station (appetizers, meat, fish, or garnish) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay's high standards for quality and presentation without his or the sous-chefs' assistance. Dinner service is for about 100 guests (volunteers for the show), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay's more difficult dishes including risotto and Beef Wellington . The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients. Menus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic-themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. Some seasons feature a service allowing for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Later episodes may feature a private dinner service, where each team must serve a five course meal to 12 guests, with each member leading their teammates to prepare one course. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table-side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen's chef's table , or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, the last dinner service before the finale usually has each chef run the pass as a test of their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous-chefs or Ramsay himself. During a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over- or undercooked or not seasoned correctly, although he may send out incomplete orders to urge the chefs to get it together. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted sous-chefs , each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close their respective halves of the kitchen early and send them back to the dorms, thus ending the dinner service immediately (in the first three seasons, poor kitchen performance resulted in the restaurant being shut down and customers leaving hungry; season 4 onward resulted in chefs being eliminated early and a professional cast of chefs finishing the service instead after complaints of customers not being fed, forced a rule change). Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service (though this has largely been phased out in newer seasons in order to encourage more team-based responsibility for mistakes), and on semi-rare occasions (once every two seasons on average), may eliminate a chef on the spot. Chefs may also walk out when under pressure from Ramsay, which more often than not will lead to their withdrawal from the show. Once the dinner service is complete, Ramsay gathers everyone in the kitchen, announces which team is the losing team and directs them to select one or two members of their team as nominees for elimination. It is possible that both teams are declared losers or a different number of chefs may be requested for nomination (usually three chefs in such cases). In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners but still requires them to each nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef "best of the worst" or "best of the best" on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees; this concept, however, has faded away over time due to the contestants sometimes making nominations based on personal bias rather than kitchen performance. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home but those cases are generally accompanied by a double elimination the following service, a team reassignment or occur after someone has been sent home on the spot for insubordination or exceptionally poor performance. Ramsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and stands about ten feet away from the losing team, before choosing a random contestant on the team to announce the nominations. If there is a winning team, they will often congregate at a nearby table by Ramsay during the process. Once all nominations have been announced, Ramsay will beckon all nominated contestants (in addition, he can also void a nomination or nominate other chefs for elimination if he sees fit) from the losing team and ask each of them to explain why they should stay in Hell's Kitchen. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and "leave Hell's Kitchen." On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, which may even include a chef on a winning team. The eliminated chef is subsequently shown leaving the restaurant through a hallway while providing some last thoughts on the experience (in cases where contestants are eliminated mid-service or otherwise leave the competition in a non-traditional manner, they will often head back to the dorms to retrieve their belongings before their last interview). After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting their picture and signaling their departure (in the first season, he simply hung their jacket and the camera would zoom in on the eliminated chef's name). During this scene, there is a voice-over of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef; albeit humorously at times (in the first season, he simply addressed the show's progress on-camera to the viewers). If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow them to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit. Chefs may be eliminated from the competition for medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition's rules may be immediately eliminated, mainly during dinner service. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted (with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable). Once the original field is cut down to either five or six chefs (depending on what Ramsay wishes to do), they are awarded black jackets and assembled into a single team. In the most recent seasons, black jackets are awarded by a series of rigorous individual challenges rather than dinner service, with contestants not receiving black jackets being eliminated. Eliminations continue until the final two contestants are left. In some cases involving the final four contestants, a double elimination will occur to leave the final two. In season 17 and since season 19 , a change in the show's format occurred where the final three chefs cooked dishes scored by 5 guest judges, with the chef with the lowest point total being eliminated. In the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a challenge to prepare their menus, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved (as long as he feels the finalist is in control of their brigade), allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. The finalists are allowed to reassign stations, or even kick their teammates out of the kitchen should they see fit; the latter has happened four times in the show's history, including Ramsay himself kicking one of the brigade members out. On one occasion, a chef had walked out of service under their own accord. Ramsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef is said to receive two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay's choosing (with the exceptions of seasons 6 and 7 , this has always been in the United States ), as well as a cash prize of $250,000. [ 4 ] In a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner. In addition, the winner hangs a picture of themselves alongside the previous winners that is seen at the restaurant's front entrance. In reality, the winning chef appears to only be guaranteed the cash portion of the prize and an offer to work somewhere within Gordon Ramsay's network of restaurants. Many winners were offered a lesser role than that of head chef at the restaurant billed in their season, while some appeared to take a role completely unrelated to the one described as that season's prize.

Jason Thompson is the narrator. Jean-Philippe Susilovic , a Belgian maître d'hôtel , comes from Pétrus , one of Ramsay's London restaurants and appeared in the first seven seasons. Susilovic was also the maître d'hôtel for the first series of the original British version. James Lukanik replaced Susilovic for seasons eight, nine, and ten. [ 6 ] Susilovic returned for seasons 11 and 12, before being replaced on a permanent basis by Marino Monferrato. During Season 21, Marino was away between episodes two and nine, Matthew Childs temporarily filled in for him as maître d'. [ 7 ] Each team also has the services of one of two sous-chefs . Season 14 finalist and Season 17 winner Michelle Tribble is the current red team sous-chef, with James Avery returning as the current blue team sous-chef. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Previous sous-chefs were MaryAnn Salcedo, Gloria Felix, Season 2 winner Heather West, Andi Van Willigan-Cutspec, Scott Leibfried , James Avery, Aaron Mitrano, Season 10 winner Christina Wilson, James "Jocky" Petrie and Season 7 runner-up Jason "Jay" Santos. In Season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan-Cutspec (who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season). Van Willigan-Cutspec returned in Season 16 but was replaced by Wilson again for Seasons 17–22 for personal reasons. The theme song is " Fire " by the Ohio Players . When the American version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries (shown on the table below), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the American version. Starting from season 17, the show changed the theme song to a short string medley. It also stopped featuring annual contestants in the opening sequence and simply reused a sequence of Ramsay in a tense, empty kitchen. For the show's first two seasons, the Hell's Kitchen restaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station KCOP at 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows Tic Tac Dough and The Joker's Wild . [ 11 ] KCOP was acquired by News Corporation in 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate KTTV in 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant. [ 12 ] Originally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of Hell's Kitchen . The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant. [ 13 ] Before season three, the Hell's Kitchen facility was moved to 20th Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in Los Angeles . From seasons 4–18, Hell's Kitchen's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in Culver City . [ 14 ] According to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place. [ 15 ] The first 18 seasons were produced in modified warehouses in Los Angeles which included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and dormitories where the contestants resided while on the show. The nineteenth and twentieth seasons were filmed at the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the Las Vegas Strip . [ 16 ] Seasons 21 and 22 were shot back-to-back in Burbank, California, in what used to be an IKEA building. [ 10 ] Seasons 23 and 24 were filmed at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut . [ 17 ] Accusations of staging [ edit ] The series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license, [ 18 ] mostly due to editing techniques of the producers, who splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing Amanda "Tek" Moore, who was already eliminated, in the background, still cooking three episodes after her elimination. [ 19 ] Notes ^ Season 1 winner Michael Wray was offered the alternative choice of working at Gordon Ramsay in London but declined the offer in order to be closer to his family. ^ Season 7 winner Holli Ugalde was refused a UK work permit and so was awarded the cash prize in lieu of the job at the Savoy Grill. ^ Season 11 winner Ja'Nel Witt's job offer was withdrawn after she failed a drug test, but she kept the cash prize. Due to a commitment on Witt's job withdrawal, season 12 winner Scott Commings later won the job offer after winning in the next season. ^ Originally competed on season 9 but left before first dinner service due to illness. ^ Season 13 winner La Tasha McCutchen and Season 14 winner Meghan Gill shared head chef duties at Caesars Atlantic City. ^ Originally competed on season 14, finishing third. ^ Originally competed on season 7, finishing third. ^ Season 18 winner Ariel Contreras-Fox declined the position at Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen in Las Vegas, preferring not to move her family from the East Coast, but agreed to participate at various of Ramsay's special events (such as the 1-year anniversary celebration of the prize restaurant). [ 26 ] [ 27 ] ^ Originally competed on season 6, finishing third. ^ Season 19 winner Kori Sutton declined the position at Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen in Lake Tahoe for family reasons. [ 28 ] Awards and nominations [ edit ] Hell's Kitchen has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Art Direction for Variety, Music or Nonfiction Programming category in 2007, 2008, and 2009. It has also been nominated for two Art Directors Guild Awards in the Television — Awards Show, Variety, Music or Non-Fiction Program category in 2007 and 2008, winning one in 2008.

The series is hosted by [celebrity chef](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_chef "Celebrity chef") [Gordon Ramsay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsay "Gordon Ramsay"), who created and appeared in the [British series of the same name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$British_TV_series$ "Hell's Kitchen (British TV series)"). Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio. A progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominees chosen (two at some points). The series notably features Ramsay's explosive anger towards contestants, which in reality is heavily dramatized for the benefit of the audience.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-2) Hell's Kitchen has been nominated for six [Primetime Emmy Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Awards "Primetime Emmy Awards"). A chain of [Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$restaurant$ "Hell's Kitchen (restaurant)") have been opened, inspired by the show. In March 2024, it was announced that Hell's Kitchen was renewed for a twenty-third and twenty-fourth season. The twenty-third season, subtitled [Head Chefs Only](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Head_Chefs_Only "Hell's Kitchen: Head Chefs Only"), aired September 2024–February 2025, and the twenty-fourth season, subtitled [Battle of the States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Battle_of_the_States "Hell's Kitchen: Battle of the States"), aired September 2025–January 2026. ## Format \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Format")\] Hell's Kitchen is a reality television show that uses a progressive elimination format to narrow down a field of 12 to 20 chefs to one single winner over the course of one season. The American version of Hell's Kitchen follows the same format of the British version, although the show is aired on tape delay and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs, who are also not celebrities as they are in the British version. The show was initially produced at Hell's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and a dormitory where the chefs resided while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20117-3) At the start of each season, [Gordon Ramsay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsay "Gordon Ramsay") breaks the chefs into two teams. With the exception of the [first](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_1 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 1"), [18th](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_18 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 18"), and [21st](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_21 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21") seasons, this puts women on the red team and men on the blue team; each is given a chef's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders (from seasons 1–18) or around their collar (season 19 onward). The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually during challenges and work together during services to be one of the final two. The show's first two seasons allowed contestants from any professional background (such as marketing executives or similar white-collar positions) to apply for the show and compete. This almost always resulted in most contestants who did not come from a culinary-related background getting eliminated early on, while contestants familiar with the industry usually lasted considerably longer. Therefore, a requirement that every contestant have some form of culinary background was adopted, starting in [season 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_3 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3"). ### Challenges \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Challenges")\] In challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a [signature dish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_dish "Signature dish") cook-off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking. Each season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a "taste it, now make it" task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a "blind taste test" where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound-blocking headphones. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner. The winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay's and/or guest judges' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward (generally a recreational activity away from Hell's Kitchen and other potential prizes), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a mundane task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner, having to prepare the food for both kitchens, and sometimes eating something unsavory (such as food waste blended into a smoothie) for lunch. From [season 19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_19 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19") to [season 21](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_21 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21"), and from [season 23](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_23 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 23"), a high-stakes elimination challenge was conducted before the first dinner service where chefs must create a dish according to a set standard (such as the incorporation of a required ingredient or the making of a certain dish and adding a personal touch to it). The two or three chefs from each team that were deemed the worst performers were asked to present their dish to Ramsay, and the chef he deemed to have the worst dish of the challenge (or had the least amount of realistic potential to improve) was eliminated on the spot without participating in a single dinner service. However, in season 21, the contestant who was deemed the weakest, Ileana D'Silva, convinced Chef Ramsay to change his mind, allowing her to stay longer. In season 23, no contestant was eliminated through this challenge due to the quality of all the dishes put forward. ### Dinner service \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Dinner service")\] For dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station (appetizers, meat, fish, or garnish) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay's high standards for quality and presentation without his or the sous-chefs' assistance. Dinner service is for about 100 guests (volunteers for the show), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay's more difficult dishes including [risotto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risotto "Risotto") and [Beef Wellington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_Wellington "Beef Wellington"). The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients. Menus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic-themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. Some seasons feature a service allowing for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Later episodes may feature a private dinner service, where each team must serve a five course meal to 12 guests, with each member leading their teammates to prepare one course. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table-side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen's [chef's table](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant#Chef's_table "Restaurant"), or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, the last dinner service before the finale usually has each chef run the pass as a test of their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous-chefs or Ramsay himself. During a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over- or undercooked or not [seasoned](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning "Seasoning") correctly, although he may send out incomplete orders to urge the chefs to get it together. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted [sous-chefs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-chef "Sous-chef"), each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close their respective halves of the kitchen early and send them back to the dorms, thus ending the dinner service immediately (in the first three seasons, poor kitchen performance resulted in the restaurant being shut down and customers leaving hungry; [season 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_4 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 4") onward resulted in chefs being eliminated early and a professional cast of chefs finishing the service instead after complaints of customers not being fed, forced a rule change). Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service (though this has largely been phased out in newer seasons in order to encourage more team-based responsibility for mistakes), and on semi-rare occasions (once every two seasons on average), may eliminate a chef on the spot. Chefs may also walk out when under pressure from Ramsay, which more often than not will lead to their withdrawal from the show. ### Elimination \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Elimination")\] Once the dinner service is complete, Ramsay gathers everyone in the kitchen, announces which team is the losing team and directs them to select one or two members of their team as nominees for elimination. It is possible that both teams are declared losers or a different number of chefs may be requested for nomination (usually three chefs in such cases). In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners but still requires them to each nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef "best of the worst" or "best of the best" on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees; this concept, however, has faded away over time due to the contestants sometimes making nominations based on personal bias rather than kitchen performance. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home but those cases are generally accompanied by a double elimination the following service, a team reassignment or occur after someone has been sent home on the spot for insubordination or exceptionally poor performance. Ramsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and stands about ten feet away from the losing team, before choosing a random contestant on the team to announce the nominations. If there is a winning team, they will often congregate at a nearby table by Ramsay during the process. Once all nominations have been announced, Ramsay will beckon all nominated contestants (in addition, he can also void a nomination or nominate other chefs for elimination if he sees fit) from the losing team and ask each of them to explain why they should stay in Hell's Kitchen. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and "leave Hell's Kitchen." On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, which may even include a chef on a winning team. The eliminated chef is subsequently shown leaving the restaurant through a hallway while providing some last thoughts on the experience (in cases where contestants are eliminated mid-service or otherwise leave the competition in a non-traditional manner, they will often head back to the dorms to retrieve their belongings before their last interview). After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting their picture and signaling their departure (in the first season, he simply hung their jacket and the camera would zoom in on the eliminated chef's name). During this scene, there is a voice-over of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef; albeit humorously at times (in the first season, he simply addressed the show's progress on-camera to the viewers). If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow them to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit. Chefs may be eliminated from the competition for medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition's rules may be immediately eliminated, mainly during dinner service. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted (with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable). Once the original field is cut down to either five or six chefs (depending on what Ramsay wishes to do), they are awarded black jackets and assembled into a single team. In the most recent seasons, black jackets are awarded by a series of rigorous individual challenges rather than dinner service, with contestants not receiving black jackets being eliminated. Eliminations continue until the final two contestants are left. In some cases involving the final four contestants, a double elimination will occur to leave the final two. In [season 17](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_17 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 17") and since [season 19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_19 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19"), a change in the show's format occurred where the final three chefs cooked dishes scored by 5 guest judges, with the chef with the lowest point total being eliminated. ### Final service \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Final service")\] In the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a challenge to prepare their menus, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved (as long as he feels the finalist is in control of their brigade), allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. The finalists are allowed to reassign stations, or even kick their teammates out of the kitchen should they see fit; the latter has happened four times in the show's history, including Ramsay himself kicking one of the brigade members out. On one occasion, a chef had walked out of service under their own accord. Ramsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef is said to receive two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay's choosing (with the exceptions of [seasons 6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_6 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 6") and [7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_7 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7"), this has always been in the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States "United States")), as well as a cash prize of \$250,000.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20115-4) In a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner. In addition, the winner hangs a picture of themselves alongside the previous winners that is seen at the restaurant's front entrance. In reality, the winning chef appears to only be guaranteed the cash portion of the prize and an offer to work somewhere within Gordon Ramsay's network of restaurants. Many winners were offered a lesser role than that of head chef at the restaurant billed in their season, while some appeared to take a role completely unrelated to the one described as that season's prize.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-5) ## Cast

[^](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_ref-19) Seasons 23–24 Gordon Ramsay is the head chef. Jason Thompson is the narrator. [Jean-Philippe Susilovic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Philippe_Susilovic "Jean-Philippe Susilovic"), a Belgian [maître d'hôtel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%AEtre_d%27h%C3%B4tel "Maître d'hôtel"), comes from [Pétrus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9trus_$restaurant$ "Pétrus (restaurant)"), one of Ramsay's London restaurants and appeared in the first seven seasons. Susilovic was also the [maître d'hôtel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%AEtre_d%27h%C3%B4tel "Maître d'hôtel") for the first series of the original British version. James Lukanik replaced Susilovic for seasons eight, nine, and ten.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-20) Susilovic returned for seasons 11 and 12, before being replaced on a permanent basis by Marino Monferrato. During Season 21, Marino was away between episodes two and nine, Matthew Childs temporarily filled in for him as maître d'.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-21) Each team also has the services of one of two [sous-chefs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-chef "Sous-chef"). Season 14 finalist and Season 17 winner Michelle Tribble is the current red team sous-chef, with James Avery returning as the current blue team sous-chef.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-22)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-23)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-Season21-24) Previous sous-chefs were MaryAnn Salcedo, Gloria Felix, Season 2 winner Heather West, Andi Van Willigan-Cutspec, [Scott Leibfried](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Leibfried "Scott Leibfried"), James Avery, Aaron Mitrano, Season 10 winner Christina Wilson, James "Jocky" Petrie and Season 7 runner-up Jason "Jay" Santos. In Season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan-Cutspec (who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season). Van Willigan-Cutspec returned in Season 16 but was replaced by Wilson again for Seasons 17–22 for personal reasons. ## Production \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Production")\] ### Broadcasting \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Broadcasting")\] The theme song is "[Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_$Ohio_Players_song$ "Fire (Ohio Players song)")" by the [Ohio Players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Players "Ohio Players"). When the American version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries (shown on the table below), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the American version. Starting from season 17, the show changed the theme song to a short string medley. It also stopped featuring annual contestants in the opening sequence and simply reused a sequence of Ramsay in a tense, empty kitchen. ### Setting \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Setting")\] For the show's first two seasons, the Hell's Kitchen restaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station [KCOP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCOP "KCOP") at 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows [Tic Tac Dough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic_Tac_Dough "Tic Tac Dough") and [The Joker's Wild](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joker%27s_Wild "The Joker's Wild").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-realitytvcalendar-25) KCOP was acquired by [News Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_Corporation_$1980%E2%80%932013$ "News Corporation (1980–2013)") in 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate [KTTV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTTV "KTTV") in 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-labizjournalstudio-26) Originally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of Hell's Kitchen. The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-nypostkcop-27) Before season three, the Hell's Kitchen facility was moved to 20th Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"). From seasons 4–18, Hell's Kitchen's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in [Culver City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culver_City,_California "Culver City, California").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-28) According to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20113-29) The first 18 seasons were produced in modified warehouses in Los Angeles which included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and dormitories where the contestants resided while on the show. The nineteenth and twentieth seasons were filmed at the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the [Las Vegas Strip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Strip "Las Vegas Strip").[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-30) Seasons 21 and 22 were shot [back-to-back](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-to-back_film_production "Back-to-back film production") in Burbank, California, in what used to be an [IKEA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") building.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-Season21-24) Seasons 23 and 24 were filmed at the [Foxwoods Resort Casino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxwoods_Resort_Casino "Foxwoods Resort Casino") in [Mashantucket, Connecticut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashantucket,_Connecticut "Mashantucket, Connecticut").[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-31) ### Accusations of staging \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Accusations of staging")\] The series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license,[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-32) mostly due to editing techniques of the producers, who splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing Amanda "Tek" Moore, who was already eliminated, in the background, still cooking three episodes after her elimination.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-33) ## Series overview \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=11 "Edit section: Series overview")\] Main article: [List of Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) episodes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_episodes "List of Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) episodes") \| Season \| Original run \| Winner \| Runner-up \| No. of contestants \| Winner's prize \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| [1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_1 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 1") \| May 30 – August 1, 2005 \| Michael Wray \| [Ralph Pagano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Pagano "Ralph Pagano") \| 12 \| Tatou in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles")[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-34) \| \| [2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_2 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 2") \| June 12 – August 14, 2006 \| Heather West \| Virginia Dalbeck \| Terra Rossa at [Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Rock_Resort_Spa_and_Casino "Red Rock Resort Spa and Casino") in Las Vegas \| \| \| [3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_3 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3") \| June 4 – August 13, 2007 \| [Rock Harper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Harper "Rock Harper") \| Bonnie Muirhead \| Terra Verde at [Green Valley Ranch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Valley_Ranch "Green Valley Ranch") in [Henderson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson,_Nevada "Henderson, Nevada") \| \| \| [4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_4 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 4") \| April 1 – July 8, 2008 \| [Christina Machamer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Machamer "Christina Machamer") \| Louis Petrozza \| 15 \| London West Hollywood in Los Angeles \| \| [5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_5 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 5") \| January 29 – May 14, 2009 \| Danny Veltri \| Paula da Silva \| 16 \| Fornelletto at [the Borgata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Borgata "The Borgata") in [Atlantic City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey "Atlantic City, New Jersey") \| \| [6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_6 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 6") \| July 21 – October 13, 2009 \| Dave Levey \| Kevin Cottle \| 17 \| Araxi Restaurant and Bar in [Whistler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistler,_British_Columbia "Whistler, British Columbia") \| \| [7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_7 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7") \| June 1 – August 10, 2010 \| Holli Ugalde \| [Jason "Jay" Santos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Santos "Jason Santos") \| 16 \| Savoy Grill at [Savoy Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savoy_Hotel "Savoy Hotel") in London[\[b\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-35) \| \| [8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_8 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 8") \| September 22 – December 15, 2010 \| Nona Sivley \| Russell Kook II \| [LA Market](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Live "L.A.

The series is hosted by [celebrity chef](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_chef "Celebrity chef") [Gordon Ramsay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsay "Gordon Ramsay"), who created and appeared in the [British series of the same name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$British_TV_series$ "Hell's Kitchen (British TV series)"). Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio. A progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominees chosen (two at some points). The series notably features Ramsay's explosive anger towards contestants, which in reality is heavily dramatized for the benefit of the audience.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-2) Hell's Kitchen has been nominated for six [Primetime Emmy Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Awards "Primetime Emmy Awards"). A chain of [Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$restaurant$ "Hell's Kitchen (restaurant)") have been opened, inspired by the show. In March 2024, it was announced that Hell's Kitchen was renewed for a twenty-third and twenty-fourth season. The twenty-third season, subtitled [Head Chefs Only](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Head_Chefs_Only "Hell's Kitchen: Head Chefs Only"), aired September 2024–February 2025, and the twenty-fourth season, subtitled [Battle of the States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen:_Battle_of_the_States "Hell's Kitchen: Battle of the States"), aired September 2025–January 2026. Hell's Kitchen is a reality television show that uses a progressive elimination format to narrow down a field of 12 to 20 chefs to one single winner over the course of one season. The American version of Hell's Kitchen follows the same format of the British version, although the show is aired on tape delay and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs, who are also not celebrities as they are in the British version. The show was initially produced at Hell's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and a dormitory where the chefs resided while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20117-3) At the start of each season, [Gordon Ramsay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsay "Gordon Ramsay") breaks the chefs into two teams. With the exception of the [first](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_1 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 1"), [18th](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_18 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 18"), and [21st](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_21 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21") seasons, this puts women on the red team and men on the blue team; each is given a chef's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders (from seasons 1–18) or around their collar (season 19 onward). The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition, but Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven, wishes to experiment, or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef, or, under rare circumstances, multiple. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black-paneled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually during challenges and work together during services to be one of the final two. The show's first two seasons allowed contestants from any professional background (such as marketing executives or similar white-collar positions) to apply for the show and compete. This almost always resulted in most contestants who did not come from a culinary-related background getting eliminated early on, while contestants familiar with the industry usually lasted considerably longer. Therefore, a requirement that every contestant have some form of culinary background was adopted, starting in [season 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_3 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 3"). In challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a [signature dish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_dish "Signature dish") cook-off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking. Each season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a "taste it, now make it" task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a "blind taste test" where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound-blocking headphones. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner. The winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay's and/or guest judges' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward (generally a recreational activity away from Hell's Kitchen and other potential prizes), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a mundane task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner, having to prepare the food for both kitchens, and sometimes eating something unsavory (such as food waste blended into a smoothie) for lunch. From [season 19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_19 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19") to [season 21](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_21 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 21"), and from [season 23](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_23 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 23"), a high-stakes elimination challenge was conducted before the first dinner service where chefs must create a dish according to a set standard (such as the incorporation of a required ingredient or the making of a certain dish and adding a personal touch to it). The two or three chefs from each team that were deemed the worst performers were asked to present their dish to Ramsay, and the chef he deemed to have the worst dish of the challenge (or had the least amount of realistic potential to improve) was eliminated on the spot without participating in a single dinner service. However, in season 21, the contestant who was deemed the weakest, Ileana D'Silva, convinced Chef Ramsay to change his mind, allowing her to stay longer. In season 23, no contestant was eliminated through this challenge due to the quality of all the dishes put forward. For dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station (appetizers, meat, fish, or garnish) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay's high standards for quality and presentation without his or the sous-chefs' assistance. Dinner service is for about 100 guests (volunteers for the show), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay's more difficult dishes including [risotto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risotto "Risotto") and [Beef Wellington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_Wellington "Beef Wellington"). The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients. Menus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic-themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. Some seasons feature a service allowing for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Later episodes may feature a private dinner service, where each team must serve a five course meal to 12 guests, with each member leading their teammates to prepare one course. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table-side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen's [chef's table](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant#Chef's_table "Restaurant"), or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, the last dinner service before the finale usually has each chef run the pass as a test of their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous-chefs or Ramsay himself. During a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over- or undercooked or not [seasoned](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning "Seasoning") correctly, although he may send out incomplete orders to urge the chefs to get it together. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted [sous-chefs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-chef "Sous-chef"), each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close their respective halves of the kitchen early and send them back to the dorms, thus ending the dinner service immediately (in the first three seasons, poor kitchen performance resulted in the restaurant being shut down and customers leaving hungry; [season 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_4 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 4") onward resulted in chefs being eliminated early and a professional cast of chefs finishing the service instead after complaints of customers not being fed, forced a rule change). Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service (though this has largely been phased out in newer seasons in order to encourage more team-based responsibility for mistakes), and on semi-rare occasions (once every two seasons on average), may eliminate a chef on the spot. Chefs may also walk out when under pressure from Ramsay, which more often than not will lead to their withdrawal from the show. Once the dinner service is complete, Ramsay gathers everyone in the kitchen, announces which team is the losing team and directs them to select one or two members of their team as nominees for elimination. It is possible that both teams are declared losers or a different number of chefs may be requested for nomination (usually three chefs in such cases). In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners but still requires them to each nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef "best of the worst" or "best of the best" on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees; this concept, however, has faded away over time due to the contestants sometimes making nominations based on personal bias rather than kitchen performance. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home but those cases are generally accompanied by a double elimination the following service, a team reassignment or occur after someone has been sent home on the spot for insubordination or exceptionally poor performance. Ramsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and stands about ten feet away from the losing team, before choosing a random contestant on the team to announce the nominations. If there is a winning team, they will often congregate at a nearby table by Ramsay during the process. Once all nominations have been announced, Ramsay will beckon all nominated contestants (in addition, he can also void a nomination or nominate other chefs for elimination if he sees fit) from the losing team and ask each of them to explain why they should stay in Hell's Kitchen. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and "leave Hell's Kitchen." On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, which may even include a chef on a winning team. The eliminated chef is subsequently shown leaving the restaurant through a hallway while providing some last thoughts on the experience (in cases where contestants are eliminated mid-service or otherwise leave the competition in a non-traditional manner, they will often head back to the dorms to retrieve their belongings before their last interview). After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting their picture and signaling their departure (in the first season, he simply hung their jacket and the camera would zoom in on the eliminated chef's name). During this scene, there is a voice-over of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef; albeit humorously at times (in the first season, he simply addressed the show's progress on-camera to the viewers). If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow them to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit. Chefs may be eliminated from the competition for medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition's rules may be immediately eliminated, mainly during dinner service. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted (with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable). Once the original field is cut down to either five or six chefs (depending on what Ramsay wishes to do), they are awarded black jackets and assembled into a single team. In the most recent seasons, black jackets are awarded by a series of rigorous individual challenges rather than dinner service, with contestants not receiving black jackets being eliminated. Eliminations continue until the final two contestants are left. In some cases involving the final four contestants, a double elimination will occur to leave the final two. In [season 17](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_17 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 17") and since [season 19](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_19 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 19"), a change in the show's format occurred where the final three chefs cooked dishes scored by 5 guest judges, with the chef with the lowest point total being eliminated. In the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a challenge to prepare their menus, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved (as long as he feels the finalist is in control of their brigade), allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. The finalists are allowed to reassign stations, or even kick their teammates out of the kitchen should they see fit; the latter has happened four times in the show's history, including Ramsay himself kicking one of the brigade members out. On one occasion, a chef had walked out of service under their own accord. Ramsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef is said to receive two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay's choosing (with the exceptions of [seasons 6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_6 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 6") and [7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$_season_7 "Hell's Kitchen (American TV series) season 7"), this has always been in the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States "United States")), as well as a cash prize of \$250,000.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20115-4) In a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner. In addition, the winner hangs a picture of themselves alongside the previous winners that is seen at the restaurant's front entrance. In reality, the winning chef appears to only be guaranteed the cash portion of the prize and an offer to work somewhere within Gordon Ramsay's network of restaurants. Many winners were offered a lesser role than that of head chef at the restaurant billed in their season, while some appeared to take a role completely unrelated to the one described as that season's prize.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-5) 1.

Susilovic was also the [maître d'hôtel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%AEtre_d%27h%C3%B4tel "Maître d'hôtel") for the first series of the original British version. James Lukanik replaced Susilovic for seasons eight, nine, and ten.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-20) Susilovic returned for seasons 11 and 12, before being replaced on a permanent basis by Marino Monferrato. During Season 21, Marino was away between episodes two and nine, Matthew Childs temporarily filled in for him as maître d'.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-21) Each team also has the services of one of two [sous-chefs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-chef "Sous-chef"). Season 14 finalist and Season 17 winner Michelle Tribble is the current red team sous-chef, with James Avery returning as the current blue team sous-chef.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-22)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-23)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-Season21-24) Previous sous-chefs were MaryAnn Salcedo, Gloria Felix, Season 2 winner Heather West, Andi Van Willigan-Cutspec, [Scott Leibfried](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Leibfried "Scott Leibfried"), James Avery, Aaron Mitrano, Season 10 winner Christina Wilson, James "Jocky" Petrie and Season 7 runner-up Jason "Jay" Santos. In Season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan-Cutspec (who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season). Van Willigan-Cutspec returned in Season 16 but was replaced by Wilson again for Seasons 17–22 for personal reasons. The theme song is "[Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_$Ohio_Players_song$ "Fire (Ohio Players song)")" by the [Ohio Players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Players "Ohio Players"). When the American version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries (shown on the table below), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the American version. Starting from season 17, the show changed the theme song to a short string medley. It also stopped featuring annual contestants in the opening sequence and simply reused a sequence of Ramsay in a tense, empty kitchen. For the show's first two seasons, the Hell's Kitchen restaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station [KCOP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCOP "KCOP") at 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows [Tic Tac Dough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic_Tac_Dough "Tic Tac Dough") and [The Joker's Wild](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joker%27s_Wild "The Joker's Wild").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-realitytvcalendar-25) KCOP was acquired by [News Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_Corporation_$1980%E2%80%932013$ "News Corporation (1980–2013)") in 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate [KTTV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTTV "KTTV") in 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-labizjournalstudio-26) Originally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of Hell's Kitchen. The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-nypostkcop-27) Before season three, the Hell's Kitchen facility was moved to 20th Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles"). From seasons 4–18, Hell's Kitchen's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in [Culver City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culver_City,_California "Culver City, California").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-28) According to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerkins20113-29) The first 18 seasons were produced in modified warehouses in Los Angeles which included the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities, and dormitories where the contestants resided while on the show. The nineteenth and twentieth seasons were filmed at the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the [Las Vegas Strip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Strip "Las Vegas Strip").[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-30) Seasons 21 and 22 were shot [back-to-back](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-to-back_film_production "Back-to-back film production") in Burbank, California, in what used to be an [IKEA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA "IKEA") building.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-Season21-24) Seasons 23 and 24 were filmed at the [Foxwoods Resort Casino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxwoods_Resort_Casino "Foxwoods Resort Casino") in [Mashantucket, Connecticut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashantucket,_Connecticut "Mashantucket, Connecticut").[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-31) ### Accusations of staging \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Accusations of staging")\] The series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license,[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-32) mostly due to editing techniques of the producers, who splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing Amanda "Tek" Moore, who was already eliminated, in the background, still cooking three episodes after her elimination.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Kitchen_$American_TV_series$#cite_note-33) Notes 1.
