Hell's Kitchen USA

Chef Ramsay introduces himself to the 16 new contestants before dividing them into two teams, men vs. women, and sending them off to prepare their signature dishes. The pressure is on as they compete for a slot in one of Chef Ramsay's many restaurants.

The 15 remaining chefs must cook eggs four different ways. One chef is told to work alone but gets into trouble for accepting help. The winners take a helicopter tour of L.A. while the losers must unload, gut, and fillet a large tuna.

Chef Ramsay focuses on teamwork, and he challenges the two teams to serve lunch to the USC Trojans marching band members.

The remaining chefs must prepare recipes using ingredients chosen for them by rolls of the dice. The winning team enjoys a thrilling day experiencing a wind-tunnel.

The remaining contestants make meals out of five mother sauces while not reusing any of the other twenty ingredients given to them. The winning team is treated to a day at an English pub, while the losers are made to clean out the Hell's Kitchen ovens.

For the season's seventh dinner service, Hell's Kitchen plays host to a fiftieth wedding anniversary. The winning team enjoys a 50's flashback day, while the losers are forced to decorate Hell's Kitchen.

The aspiring chefs must make unique sandwiches. The winning team spends a day in California’s wine country while the losers grind the peanuts that will be used in a sandwich for the next day’s dinner service.

Chef Ramsay tests the remaining chefs’ palates in a blind taste test. The winning team enjoys a day at Sea World while the losers unload deliveries of trout. At dinner service, the chefs must devise their own menus.

In the season finale, the two chefs travel to London West Hollywood, where they must each cook five different dishes. These are then judged by five of Chef Ramsay’s top chefs from his restaurants in London.
