#HellsKitchen #HellsKitchenUSA #GordonRamsay
Gordon Ramsay's culinary boot camp moves to the USA as the terrifying world-renowned Head Chef slices and dices a group of wannabe Cordon Bleu cooks and aspiring restaurateurs, to find out who deserves the top prize of their own restaurant. Adapted from the smash hit British series, Hell's Kitchen USA serves up helpings of terror, tears, tantrums and triumphs as cameras follow the competing chefs for every minute of the day.
__________________________________________
In Hell's Kitchen, two teams compete for the prestigious job of head chef at a top restaurant, all under the guidance of world-class fiery chef Gordon Ramsay.

I would have been fine with any of the black jackets for that season winning. They were all super talented.

[@choryllis6646]

We've seen what happens when people refuse to put bad dishes in front of Ramsay. One of the earliest seasons had Melissa telling the other to not put up a duck piece that was cooked to hell, and Ramsay was pissed off for her refusing to present. Refusing to present is just as bad, if not worse, as giving a bad dish.
