Superstar chef Gordon Ramsay takes command of the kitchen and splits the chefs into two teams - the red team and the blue team. Both will compete to win various challenges such as feeding the University of Southern California marching band, creating a 1950s-inspired menu, and hosting a 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

While the challenges are grueling, the rewards are sweet as some winning teams get to enjoy relaxing stays at the beach, helicopter rides or trips to gourmet restaurants. The losers are left behind to perform mundane tasks, including cleaning the kitchen, polishing silver, ironing the linens and prepping that night's dinner service.

As the chefs are winnowed down, only those who catch Ramsay's eye will get to advance to the next round. Hoping for the coveted black chef jacket, the chefs will compete against one another, striving to survive another week.

Eventually two finalists will compete head-to-head to impress Ramsay with five-star dishes, but only the one who possesses the right combination of passion, skill and drive will become the winner of HELL'S KITCHEN.
