Hell's Kitchen is an American television series created by Gordon Ramsay for Fox and it also stars chef Gordon Ramsay. It is based on Ramsay's British version of the same television show Hell's Kitchen. The show debuted on May 30, 2005.^[1]

In the show, 20 chefs compete on two teams. Sometimes chefs will be swapped to different teams. The two teams cook against each other in Ramsay's restaurant during a dinner service and compete in challenges. Throughout the season, chefs are gradually eliminated from the competition at the end of episodes until one is left. When six chefs are left, they will be awarded a black jacket and will compete in the competition by themselves.

The fifth episode of the fourth season recorded a total of 11.94 million viewers watch it.^[2] Hell's Kitchen has also been nominated for many awards as well.
