It is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. Two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant. A typical episode begins with a challenge between the teams ; the winning team gets some sort of a reward that usually involves some sort of `` field trip '' outside the Hell 's Kitchen, while the losers are given `` punishment '' that usually involves some sort of menial task. The second part is a dinner service, where each team works in their own kitchen, attempting, under close and hypercritical supervision from Chef Ramsay, to complete the service without getting kicked out before finishing for too many errors. The usual wrap - up involves whichever team is declared the loser of the dinner service choosing two of their own to be up for elimination. There are many possible variations ; both teams being kicked out before the end of dinner service is an example that has occurred on several occasions. At the end of the 13th season, it was announced that it was renewed for two more seasons through season 16. On September 9, 2016, Fox renewed Hell 's Kitchen for seasons 17 and 18. The seventeenth season premiered on September 29, 2017.

The U.S. version of Hell 's Kitchen follows the format of the UK version though the show is recorded and not performed live, nor is there audience participation in the elimination of chefs. The show is produced at Hell 's Kitchen, a modified warehouse in Los Angeles that includes the restaurant, dual kitchen facilities and a dormitory where the chefs reside while on the show. They are also given knife sets that they get to keep, regardless of their progress. At the start of each season, Gordon Ramsay breaks the chefs into two teams. Most often this is based on gender, with women on the red team and men on the blue ; each is given a chef 's jacket with panels of that color on the shoulders. The chefs remain on these teams throughout most of the competition ; Ramsay may reassign a chef to the other team if the team numbers are uneven or if he feels the chef will perform better on the other team. Each episode typically includes a challenge and a dinner service, followed by the elimination of a chef. When only five or six chefs remain, they are brought into a single common team wearing black - panelled jackets. From this point onward, they compete individually to be one of the final two. Challenges In challenges, the teams or individual is tasked with a cooking challenge by Ramsay. The type of challenges are varied, including ingredient preparation, meal preparation and taste tests. The first challenge of each season is a signature dish cook - off, giving the chefs an opportunity to show Ramsay their cooking. Each season typically includes one or more challenges that allows teams to construct several dishes either for a banquet to be held the next dinner service or as part of designing their own menus. Other challenges typically include a `` taste it, make it '' task, where chefs must attempt to recreate a dish Ramsay has prepared after tasting it only, and a `` blind taste - test '' where chefs identify ingredients while blindfolded and wearing sound - blocking earcovers. Some challenges have been full breakfast or lunch services, where the team completing the service first is declared the winner. The winner of the challenge is determined by either a scoring system set for that challenge or by Ramsay 's and / or guest judges ' opinions. The winning team or chef receives a reward ( a recreational activity away from Hell 's Kitchen and other potential prizes ), while the losing team or chefs are forced to do a menial task, such as cleaning the kitchens, preparing a specific ingredient for the following dinner or having to prepare the food for both kitchens. Dinner service For dinner services, the chefs are expected to work their station ( such as meat, fish, or garnish ) on the kitchen line to prepare food in coordination with their teammates and to Ramsay 's high standards for quality and presentation. Dinner service is for about 100 guests ( volunteers for the show ), with each diner expecting to receive an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. The chefs are given menus and recipe books by Ramsay to study and memorize, which include some of Ramsay 's more difficult dishes including risotto and Beef Wellington. The chefs spend several hours before each service preparing their ingredients. Menus may be customized for a specific dinner service, such as ethnic - themed dishes or plates that resulted from the earlier challenge. One service per season allows for the teams to develop their own menus, which are reviewed by Ramsay for quality and presentation beforehand. Dinner services may include additional challenges. A chef from each team may be asked to serve a table - side meal for their team, serve celebrities sitting at the kitchen 's chef 's table, or act as a server for the evening taking and fulfilling orders. After the chefs are on a single black team, Ramsay will use one dinner service to ask each chef to run the pass to test their quality control, including deliberate mistakes made by the sous chefs or Ramsay himself. During a service, Ramsay demands that all orders for each course for a table go out together, and will send back entire orders if one item is improperly prepared, such as being over - or undercooked or not seasoned correctly. While the chefs are in two teams, Ramsay is assisted by two trusted sous - chefs, each monitoring one of the kitchens, demanding the same standards and alerting Ramsay to any issues. Ramsay 's goal is to complete every dinner service, but exceptionally poor kitchen performance by one or both teams will cause him to close one ( or both sides ) of the kitchen early and send the team ( s ) back to the dorms. Ramsay may also evict individual chefs from the kitchen based on repeated poor performances during a service, and on rare occasions, may eliminate a chef on the spot. Elimination Once the dinner service is complete, Ramsay determines which team is the losing team and directs them to select two chefs from their team as nominees for elimination. Occasionally, Ramsay declares that both teams have lost, or requests a different number of chefs to be nominated for elimination. In some cases, Ramsay has named both teams winners, but still requires both teams to nominate someone for elimination. This is a group consensus, but Ramsay may occasionally name a chef `` best of the worst '' on their team and instruct them to choose the nominees. Ramsay has also on some occasions declared that nobody would be sent home, but those cases are generally followed by a double - elimination or occur after a spot elimination where Ramsay has sent a contestant home immediately due to malfeasance. Ramsay reassembles the teams in the dining hall and hears out the nominations from the losing team ( s ). Ramsay may also nominate other chefs for elimination if he believes it appropriate. After giving these nominees the chance to defend themselves, Ramsay selects one to hand over their jacket and `` leave Hell 's Kitchen. '' On rarer occasions, Ramsay can overrule nominations or even eliminate a chef who has not been nominated, even a chef on a winning team. The eliminated chef is shown leaving the restaurant, providing some last thoughts on the experience. After dismissing the chefs, Ramsay goes back upstairs to his office. He symbolically hangs the chef 's jacket on a sharp hook below their picture in a row with the others, igniting the chef 's picture and signalling their departure. During this scene, there is a voiceover of Ramsay explaining his reasons for eliminating the chef. If an eliminated chef has performed exceptionally well, Ramsay may allow that chef to keep their jacket as a token of their success up to that point, if he sees fit. Chefs may be eliminated from the competition due to medical reasons, both voluntarily and involuntarily. Chefs that violate the competition 's rules may be immediately eliminated. Chefs may also exit the competition voluntarily for any other reason ; though this is not encouraged, their wishes are ultimately granted ( with reasons by Ramsay explained, if applicable ). Final service In the finale, the final two chefs are each given the opportunity to develop their own menus and lead a brigade of former competitors through a full dinner service on their own. In the first five seasons, this included the opportunity to decorate half of the Hell 's Kitchen restaurant to their liking. Prior to the dinner service, the two chefs compete in a tasting contest, and the winner will earn the advantage of picking their brigade of chefs first. Ramsay will ensure that all menu items meet his standards for high cuisine prior to service, and he and his sous chefs will oversee the service to make sure that his high quality standards are retained, but does not otherwise get involved, allowing the two remaining chefs to demonstrate their ability to run the line. Ramsay uses his own observations and those from the diners and other sources to decide who is the winning chef. He has two doors in his office leading out to the balcony above the Hell 's Kitchen seating area. Each chef stands at a door and Ramsay tells them to both turn their handles at the same time. After a commercial break, only the door of the winning chef is unlocked allowing the winner to walk through and be greeted by the crowd below. The winning chef receives two prizes including the opportunity to work as the head chef or executive chef at a restaurant of Ramsay 's choosing, as well as a cash prize of $250,000. In a similar manner to the voiceover at each elimination, Ramsay has a voiceover to explain his reasons for choosing that chef as the winner.

Jason Thompson is the narrator. Jean - Philippe Susilovic, a Belgian maître d'hôtel, comes from Petrus, one of Ramsay 's London restaurants and appeared in the first seven seasons and later returned for season 11. He left after season 12 and was replaced by Marino Monferrato for season 13. Susilovic was also the maître d'hôtel for the first series of the original British version. James Lukanik replaced Susilovic for seasons 8 -- 10. Each team also has the services of one of two sous - chefs. The sous - chefs are Andi Van Willigan and Aaron Mitrano ( since season 15 ). Previous sous - chefs were Mary Ann Salcedo, Gloria Felix, season 2 winner Heather West, Scott Leibfried, James Avery and season 10 winner Christina Wilson. In season 15, Wilson filled in for Van Willigan - Cutspec who was getting married at the time of filming but returned for one episode when her reception was one of the themed dinner services for that season. Production Broadcasting The theme song is Fire by the Ohio Players. When the U.S. version is broadcast in the U.K., Italy, Portugal and some countries ( shown on the table below ), it features only the instrumental version. The instrumental version also appeared in the uncensored DVD release for the U.S. version. Setting For the show 's first two seasons, the Hell 's Kitchen restaurant set itself was housed in the former studios of Los Angeles television station KCOP at 915 North La Brea Avenue, in Hollywood, which at one time hosted production of game shows Tic Tac Dough and The Joker 's Wild. KCOP was acquired by News Corporation in 2001 and its studios were integrated with those of Fox affiliate KTTV in 2003, leaving the La Brea facility vacant. Originally the studio was put up for sale, but in the end they were retooled for the production of Hell 's Kitchen. The dining room area was the location of the former KCOP news studios, and living quarters for the contestants were built behind the restaurant. Before season three, the Hell 's Kitchen facility was moved to Century Studios at 3322 La Cienega Place in Los Angeles. Since the fourth season, Hell 's Kitchen 's venue has been located at 8660 Hayden Place in Culver City. According to Arthur Perkins, the soundstage is only open for audience members when taping is taking place. The studio sits on the former location of the famous RKO Forty Acres backlot, which was used in movies such as Gone With The Wind and television series such as The Andy Griffith Show and Adventures of Superman. The studio building sits on the location of the military camp seen in the television series Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.. Accusations of staging The series has drawn numerous online and editorial accusations of staging and dramatic license, mostly due to editing techniques of the producers which splice together several hours of footage from a dinner service, in order to make certain contestants appear as poor performers, later justifying their elimination. This was most obvious when one episode featured clips showing an already eliminated contestant in the background, still cooking. One of the most controversial accusations of staging on Hell 's Kitchen relates to an incident with contestant Joseph Tinnelly, who, during one elimination round, angrily confronted Ramsay, challenging him to fight, and was then escorted off the set. The incident drew immediate fire from critics as an overplayed and possibly faked scene, conducted to cause action and tension on the show in order to spark viewer interest. In a 2013 interview, Ramsay admitted that the vast majority of his anger towards contestants was acting, his on - camera rage being done to force contestants to give their all and that when off - camera he treated all contestants with friendliness and respect. Ramsay further stated he would often meet with eliminated contestants after their departure from the show, offering positive criticism and advice. Staff and production members further affirmed that in real life, Ramsay was a sociable and friendly person and most of the on - camera drama is played out for the benefit of the audience.
