Hell's Kitchen

Twelve aspiring restaurateurs compete before chef Gordon Ramsay as he works to open a world-class restaurant in Los Angeles and discover the country's next culinary star.

After barely making it through opening night, the contestants feel the pressure as they prepare for their second dinner service.

The contestants prepare for their third dinner service; chef Ramsay selects another contestant to leave Hell's Kitchen.

Another contestant is eliminated.

On the restaurant's fifth night, the contestants make and serve an entire Italian-themed menu.

As the teams prepare for their sixth dinner, chef Ramsay tells them that each team must create its own menu.

The five remaining contestants learn they are no longer competing as teams, but as individuals.

The remaining contestants must create a meal fit for service in 15 minutes out of a tray of leftovers from the previous night.

The final three contestants must serve an entire dining room.
