“7 Chefs Compete”

Aired Tuesday 28 June 2005

On the restaurant's fifth night, HELL'S KITCHEN gets a taste of Italy as the contestants not only make, but serve, an entire Italian-themed menu. After a tense competition in the afternoon, one team is rewarded with an afternoon outing with Chef Ramsay. Later at the dinner service, the participants' competitive nature comes to a head as one team deliberately sabotages the other while a contestant makes a decision that shocks both the red and blue teams. At the end of the night, Ramsay tells an unlucky contestant to "fugget-about-it" and kicks them out of HELL'S KITCHEN.
