The theme of “Hell’s Kitchen 23″ is “Head Chefs Only” and these 18 talented head chefs come from all ages, backgrounds, culinary specialties and restaurant types. They’re used to calling the shots. With such proven leaders in the kitchen, Chef Gordon Ramsay is setting the bar higher than ever before. The 18 contestants will set out to impress Chef Ramsay in the Signature Dish Challenge before embarking on their first dinner service. For the first time in “Hell’s Kitchen” history, the show will take place on the East Coast at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in the “Hell Heads East” season-premiere episode of “Hell’s Kitchen” airing Thursday, September 26 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The reality competition cooking show first premiered on FOX on May 30, 2005. 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 one of his flagship restaurants. A progressive elimination format reduces the field to a single winner over the course of each season. In a typical episode, a single contestant is selected for elimination. The series notably features Ramsay’s explosive anger towards contestants. Idiot sandwich, anyone?
