Hell’s Kitchen is a culinary boot camp that features a group of aspiring restaurateurs opening a top-class restaurant, overseen by Ramsay and premieres Monday, May 30, 2005 at 9 p.m. on Fox.

A former pro-soccer-player-turned-Michelin-starred-chef, Ramsay’s in Los Angeles to open the city’s newest restaurant and discover – or create – the country’s next culinary star. Adapted from the British short-run series of the same name (which you may have seen on BBC America), Hell’s Kitchen follows12 competing chefs 24/7. The participants may have varying culinary experience, whether as a burger flipper, a mother of six or a barbeque wiz, but one thing they all have in common is a passion for food.
