After a long time... the doors of Hell’s Kitchen are opening again.
18 new chefs are entering Hell’s Kitchen, hoping to walk out with a Head Chef’s position at Gordon Ramsay’s brand new restaurant with a salary of a quarter of a million dollars.
The chefs are taken to the restaurant and they meet Chef Ramsay in person for the first time.
Chef Ramsay: Now, first order of business, get in the kitchen and make me your signature dishes!
The chefs then begin making their signature dishes, knowing that they will have a huge impact of Chef Ramsay’s first impression of them.
-Reward Challenge-
The chefs have now completed their dishes.
Chef Ramsay will be judging each dish on a score of 1 to 5. After all the dishes have been scored, the team with the most points will win their first reward challenge.
The first round is between Janet, a Pastry Chef, vs. Lincoln, a Pizza Chef.
Janet’s Dish: Dirt Cake
Chef Ramsay: It’s the complete opposite of moist... it’s barely a fucking cake! It’s unappetizing. That for me is a 1.
Lincoln’s Dish: Gourmet Pizza
Chef Ramsay: You definitely have balls giving me a pizza, that’s for sure. And it’s actually quite delicious! Creative, stunning... definitely the first 5 of the night.
Men: 5
Women: 1
After Lincoln’s strong first impression dish beats Janet’s disappointing dish, the women look to Sugar May, a Camp Sous Chef, to put them in the lead. The men are looking to Jake, a Line Cook, to keep them in the lead.
Sugar May’s Dish: S’mores
Chef Ramsay: They taste fine, but... it feels a little safe. You didn’t do anything creative, you just gave me a regular fucking s’more! That for me is a 2, and I’m being generous.
Jake’s Dish: Chicken
Chef Ramsay: It’s cooked beautifully. It definitely looks stunning. That’s a very strong 4, good job.
Men: 9
Women: 3
With the men still in the lead, Lindsey, a food taster, is hoping to help the women’s score while Jay, a Line Cook, is looking to extend the men’s lead even further.
Lindsey’s Dish: Chocolate Soufflé
Chef Ramsay: It’s delicious. You really did a great job, that’s definitely a 4 out of 5.
Jay’s Dish: Molten Chocolate Cake
Chef Ramsay: The cake is perfectly moist, and it’s definitely delicious, but there isn’t much else about this dish that makes it special... I’m gonna give it a 3.
Men: 12
Women: 7
Now that the women are gaining on the men, Kiara, a Head Chef, is looking to hel close the gap even further while Pierre, a Sous Chef, is looking to help his team’s lead.
Kiara’s Dish: Fried Chicken and Waffles.
Chef Ramsay: Wow... the flavors don’t go together, there’s no creativity... and on top of that, the chicken is fucking RAW! Out of 5, this is definitely a 1.
Pierre’s Dish: Bouillabaisse
Chef Ramsay: It’s stone cold. This dish had so much potential, and you fucked it up by serving it raw! It’s underwhelming. 1.
Men: 13
Women: 8
After 2 disappointing dishes, Kourtney, a Personal Chef, and Maurice, a Stay at home Dad, are looking to give Chef Ramsay a palate cleanser.
Kourtney’s Dish: Chicken Parmigiana
Chef Ramsay: It’s cooked beautifully, it’s delicious, definitely a 4 out of 5!
Maurice’s Dish: Tacos al Pastor
Chef Ramsay: It’s out of the box, it’s delicious, it’s stunning... Maurice, you just earned a 5 out of 5.
Men: 18
Women: 12
Now that the scores haven’t changed at all, Ocean, a Poissonnier, is looking to help get the women in the lead while Fox, another Stay at home Dad, is hoping to keep the lead for the blue team.
Ocean’s Dish: Halibut
Chef Ramsay: That’s one of the most stunning pieces of halibut I’ve ever seen... and it’s tasty. That’s a very strong 4 out of 5, well done.
Fox’s Dish: Lava Cakes
Chef Ramsay: It’s messy, inside and out. I can’t even take a bite without getting chocolate everywhere! It’s a disaster... 1 out of 5.
Men: 19
Women: 16
Now that the scores are neck and neck, Candy, a self proclaimed celebrity chef, is hoping to claim the lead for the women, while Nick, a Caterer, is looking to keep the blue team’s score ahead.
Candy’s Dish: Huntsmans Pies
Chef Ramsay: It’s slightly over cooked... yet it’s still somehow delicious. That’s a 3.
Nick’s Dish: Mushroom Risotto
Chef Ramsay: It’s delicious. It looks amazing... seasoned beautifully... this is definitely a 5 out of 5.
Men: 24
Women: 19
There are only 4 dishes left to taste, but the women can still take the lead and win. Up next is Europe, an Instagram Chef, vs. Matt, a McDonalds Restaurant Manager.
Europe’s Dish: Duck à l’orange
Chef Ramsay: Cooked beautifully... visually stunning... perfectly seasoned... This dish is pure perfection. 5 out of 5.
Matt’s Dish: Big Mac n’Cheese
Chef Ramsay: What the fuck is this? It’s like a fucking microwave burger! Let’s get one thing right, this is an actual restaurant, not a fast food joint.
Matt: Yes chef.
Chef Ramsay: I’m gonna be generous and give it a 2. Total shame.
Men: 26
Women: 24
With the women trailing right behind the men, the red team looks for it’s final member, Nevra, a Salsa Chef, to finally claim the lead.
Nevra’s Dish: Salsa Bites
Chef Ramsay: I’m sorry... what kind of dish is this supposed to be?
Nevra: An appetizer, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Smart answer. It feels like you put the exact right amount of salsa in there... and I’ve never even seen anything like this before! I’m really impressed, you’ve earned a 5 out of 5.
The women’s final score is 29.
The men can still win the competition if their final member, Ben, a Culinary Student, can score a 3 to tie and a 4 to win.
Ben’s Dish: Mac n’Cheese
Chef Ramsay: How did you make the pasta?
Ben: I got it from a box, chef.
Chef Ramsay immediately spits out the dish.
Chef Ramsay: Are you serious? Why did you come to Hell’s Kitchen thinking it was okay to use processed foods as ingredients?
Ben: I don’t know chef... I’m sorry.
Chef Ramsay: Total shame. Out of 5, you get a 1.
The men’s final score is 27.
The women have won!
As the women celebrate, Chef Ramsay tells them what their reward is.
Chef Ramsay: Ladies, you will be spending the day on one of the most luxurious cruise ships. There will be plenty of things to do, such as go to the swimming pool, hang out in one of the most exclusive bars on the ship... and you’ll even have a luxurious lunch with an ocean view as you eat. So what are you waiting for? The limo’s outside!
As the women leave, Chef Ramsay gives the men their punishment.
Chef Ramsay: Gentlemen... I have ordered a bunch of new ingredients for our kitchens. You’re going to be spending the day unloading them and putting them away. Such a shame... you had it in your hands until the last second!
The men then begin their long day of labor as the women enjoy a day full of fun and luxury.
-Dinner Service-
It’s time for the first dinner service of the season.
Here’s who’s on each station tonight:
-Men-
Meat Station: Maurice and Jake
Fish Station: Pierre and Ben
Garnish Station: Matt and Fox
Hot Apps Station: Nick and Lincoln
Cold Apps Station: Jay
-Women-
Meat Station: Europe and Kourtney
Fish Station: Ocean and Candy
Garnish Station: Janet and Sugar May
Hot Apps Station: Nevra and Kiara
Cold Apps Station: Lindsey
As dinner service begins, the first mistake comes from the Blue Kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: Hey, ALL OF YOU! Just look at these scallops! They’re rubber! Who cooked those?!
Pierre: I did, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Get your shit together, and fire them again!
Pierre then rushes to get a new order of scallops out to the pass. He finally manages to, and Chef Ramsay checks them to see if they’re up to his standards.
Chef Ramsay: Hey Pierre!
Pierre: Yes chef?
...
...
...
...
...
Chef Ramsay: Those scallops are perfect, keep it up!
Pierre sighs with relief.
Meanwhile, problems are starting to occur in the red kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: How long on the risotto?
Nevra and Kiara are quiet.
Chef Ramsay: NEVRA! KIARA, HOW LONG?!
Nevra: Oh! Uh... I need 4 minutes chef!
Chef Ramsay: Fucking hell...
These aren’t the only mistakes. I won’t describe ALL mistakes in detail... but here’s a basic summary.
Pierre may have been able to recover on the Fish station, but his station partner Ben kept sending them in raw. He even did it twice in a row.
Lindsey screws up her appetizers by forgetting to season them, and then she overseasons them.
Nevra sends in several undercooked portions of Risotto.
Kourtney keeps bringing down the meat station with undercooked lamb.
Janet and Matt both take way too long to serve their garnishes.
As for the final mistake of the night... well, I’ll let you see that one for yourself.
Chef Ramsay: Hey, all of you! ALL OF YOU! Look at this Risotto, it’s sticking to the pan like fucking glue! Who cooked the risotto?!
Kiara: I’m sorry, that was me chef.
Chef Ramsay: Everyone is just fucking up tonight! I’m DONE!
...
...
...
...
...
GET OUT! GET OUT!
The women have now been kicked out of dinner service.
The men are able to finish service, making them the winners. Chef Ramsay tells the women to come up with 2 nominees for elimination.
The women discuss the main faults of the night... Kourtney’s blunder on meat. Lindsey’s blunder on cold apps. Nevra and Kiara fucking up on Hot apps constantly.
Eventually, they reach a decision.
-Elimination Ceremony-
The women meet Chef Ramsay for elimination.
Chef Ramsay: Ocean. Red Team’s first nominee and why?
Ocean: Chef, our first nominee is...
...
...
...
...
...
Nevra. We feel like she didn’t pull through tonight and she didn’t communicate as well as she should’ve.
Chef Ramsay: Red Team’s second nominee and why?
Ocean: Our second nominee is...
...
...
...
...
...
Kiara.
She couldn’t get the risotto right, and we feel she and Nevra ultimately sunk the red kitchen tonight.
Chef Ramsay: Alright. Nevra, Kiara, step forward.
Nevra and Kiara both face Chef Ramsay.
Chef Ramsay asks both of the nominees why they should stay in Hell’s Kitchen. He asks if Nevra’s signature dish was a fluke, and Nevra says that it wasn’t and she has so much more to give.
Chef Ramsay: This is tough. My decision is...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Kiara.
...
...
...
...
...
Give me your jacket.
Kiara then takes her jacket off and gives it to Chef Ramsay. She shakes his hand and leaves Hell’s Kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: I wasn’t expecting perfection... but tonight, you weren’t even mediocre. You all need to step up, immediately. Now fuck off.
The chefs then head off for bed.
As Chef Ramsay walks upstairs, his voice narrates the scene.
“I’m not surprised Kiara is the Head Chef of a restaurant owned by her family, because her food is something only a mother could love.”
Chef Ramsay then hangs Kiara’s jacket, and her picture burns up.
