“12 Chefs Compete”

Aired Tuesday 5 June 2007

Mondays are going to be hell for the 12 would-be restaurateurs trying to impress world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay in the third serving of the sizzling unscripted series HELL'S KITCHEN. A former pro-soccer-player-turned-Michelin-starred-chef, Ramsay has conquered London's haute cuisine scene and recently opened his first U.S. restaurant. Now he's back to discover - or create - America's next culinary star. The heat is on and the stakes are high as the contestants endure Ramsay's hellishly intense culinary boot camp for a chance to win the grand prize and opportunity of a lifetime - the coveted title of Head Chef of the Terra Rossa restaurant at the Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa and Casino in Las Vegas. Each week Ramsay will slice and dice the contestants, keeping only those who possess the right combination of ingredients to ensure success. In this pressure-cooker environment, only one thing is certain: if the contestants can't stand the heat, they'll have to get out of HELL'S KITCHEN.
