In a typical episode, two contestants are nominated for elimination, with Ramsay then eliminating one of the nominated contestants chosen. Each season, two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant, while working in the kitchen of a restaurant set up in the television studio.Ī progressive elimination format reduces a field of 20 to 12 contestants down to a single winner over the course of each season. The series is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who created and appeared in the British series of the same name. Hell's Kitchen is an American reality competition cooking show that premiered on Fox on May 30, 2005.
