Sophie Gayot & Gordon Ramsay before the judging moments

With a very sharp tongue and fiery temper, Ramsay oversees the chefs as they orchestrate dinner service for hungry patrons, and in tense elimination sessions he weeds out the ones that don’t possess that special recipe for success. The last toque standing will receive a senior chef position at Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant “Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood.”

In Ramsay’s kitchen, the old adage applies: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”  Hell’s Kitchen, that is.

“Hell’s Kitchen” airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX (a Granada America production).
