"Hell's Kitchen 9" on FOX is a reality cooking competition starring world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay.
Get ready for the heat of "Hell's Kitchen 2011" as superstar chef Gordon Ramsay ushers in the series' red-hot ninth season with 18 new competitors. These aspiring restaurateurs will brave Ramsay and his wrath as he once again puts the competitors through rigorous challenges to see who has the skill and passion to win a life-changing prize: a head chef position at BLT Steak in New York City.

In the season premiere, Ramsay launches the competition with the signature-dish challenge and is both impressed and disappointed right from the start. Before the dinner service can even begin, one contestant is rushed to the hospital and things go downhill quickly from there until one chef is eliminated from "Hell's Kitchen."
As the teams are whittled down, the chefs get one step closer to earning the coveted black chef jacket. Eventually two finalists will compete head-to-head to try and impress Ramsay with their skills and only one lucky chef will walk away with the ultimate prize and fulfill their dreams as a head chef at one of the finest restaurants in America.
The "Hell's Kitchen 9" chefs are Amanda Colello, Brendan Heavey, Carrie Keep, Chino Chang, Elise Wims, Elizabeth Bianchi, Gina Melcher, Hell's Kitchen, Jamie Gregorich, Jason Zepaltas, Jennifer Normant, Jonathon Plumley, Krupa Patel, Monterray Keys, Natalie Blake, Paul Niedermann, Steven Paluba, Tommy Stevens and Will Lustberg.
"Hell's Kitchen 9" is produced by ITV Studios America in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions. Arthur Smith, Kent Weed and Gordon Ramsay serve as executive producers.

culinary challenges will range from the cute and cuddly as the chefs cook a "mommy and me" meal for a room full of moms and toddlers—to the sublime as the chefs are challenged to cook using different types of beer as the basis for their recipes. The winning teams will get to enjoy a private jet to Palm Springs, Indy-car racing, a $20,000-per-night suite in Las Vegas or a four-story yacht excursion, while the losing teams will be required to decorate for a high school reunion, take delivery of and butcher an entire side of beef, create ice sculptures and put together an entire children's playground for family night.
