head chef at one of Ramsay’s elite restaurants located around the world.

But this prize does not come easy; the contestants are divided into two

teams, Red and Blue, and battle to see who can win best dinner service of

the night. These, along with group challenges along the way, determine

who will be up for the chopping block later that evening, when each week

Ramsay kicks off one hopeful chef. Who will be left standing in the end?

Watch and find out.

If that’s not quite to your taste, tune into Kitchen Nightmares, where Ramsay chooses an existing restaurant that is not up to par and provides it with the tools to turn it into a fantasy restaurant4. Be prepared for prideful owners, tears, yelling, and some unfortunate surprises lingering in the kitchen. You will be amazed by the transformations that take place on this show, but they only happen if the owners are ready to give up their past ways and open up to a new start.

Scenes from Kitchen Nightmares

As if you don’t see enough of Ramsay as it is, Fox recently announced a new show starring our favorite London chef called Hotel Hell where he will expand out of solely the food industry and into the hospitality industry4. The show will have a business makeover format similar to that of Kitchen Nightmares. Go to www.fox.com and click on the links for each of these

shows to find out broadcasting times and ways to purchase

merchandise.

Ramsay loves to help further the dreams of hopefuls! On

MasterChef, Ramsay is joined by two fellow food and drink

moguls, Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich to judge some of

America’s best amateur chefs3. It’s a grueling competition to the

finish line, with individual challenges that test your speed,

creativity, and competency as a chef. The winner walks away with

a life-changing grand prize, along with rich experiences and a

chance to show their chops off to some of the most respected men

in the food industry.
