Season 25

In 2005, Gordon Ramsay created the ultimate competition that set the culinary world on fire. For over two decades, the flame of Hell's Kitchen has burned dishing out drama, emotion and conflict. The show's unique challenges pushed chefs to their limits and his grueling curriculum made sure the cream rose to the top. With Hell's Kitchen in its historic 25th season, there is an entire generation of chefs too young to know a world without Hell's Kitchen that have been inspired by the series setting out to impress Chef Ramsay.

The chefs receive a surprise from Chef Ramsay before the red and blue teams battle it out in an extensive three-round challenge. Later, they face their first dinner service, cooking for a room full of influencers.

Chef Ramsay gives the teams a break with a day full of waterslides and burger sliders; what begins as a holiday turns into flames with a fierce red vs. blue team slider stakeout judged by Paul Wahlberg, co-founder of Wahlburgers.

The chefs get a glimpse of college life and compete in a beer pong-themed challenge to decide who can best pair alcohol with their protein.

Tensions begin to rise on both the red and blue teams as personal relationships start to fracture. After a high-speed Protein Relay challenge, one team revels in victory while the other pays the price, and a shaky dinner service costs one chef their spot in the competition.

The chefs put their pizza making abilities to the test as they aim to win some well-deserved R&R.
