A bus carrying 22 hopeful chefs pulls up to the Hell's Kitchen restaurant in sunny, hot Las Vegas! The aspiring chefs step off the bus one by one, and make their way into the front door of Hell's Kitchen, where they meet Gordon Ramsay himself, who is standing patiently in the main dining room, eyeing the fresh meat as they walk into the room
Gordon welcomes them to Hells Kitchen, and immediately divides the chefs into 2 teams of 11. The teams are as follows:
🔴 Red Jackets 🔴 - Divangbayan, Idol, jessiejedi, TeaFiercelyBoots, VenusVafa, elio, MissChloeKay, King_Bradford, Tisha, RebeccaJosephine, dino
🔵 Blue Jackets 🔵 - YanderTron21, sobriquet, venharim, unfortunate, MaxOra, GeminiFoxx, Jaxx, Pipes, Capzacsparrow, Imperio, Justini
Now that the chefs are divided into teams, they will compete in their first challenge - The Signature Dish Challenge! Each chef will make their signature dish for Chef Ramsay, and the chef with the dish he rates as the best will win the challenge for their entire team!
Chefs rush into the kitchen, and are given 1 hour to prepare their signature dishes! The hour flies by, and the chefs are ready to share their dishes with Chef Ramsay. He rates each dish by giving them 1-5 stars
