TV's famously forthright chef Gordon Ramsay is set to make a triumphant return with the 23rd season of the sizzling hit show Hell's Kitchen US come next month. Adding spice to the series, this installment - dubbed 'Head Chefs Only' - will be stirring up drama in an all-new custom-built Connecticut venue nestled within Foxwoods Resort Casino for the first-ever time. Igniting screens since its fiery debut on Fox back in 2005, Hell's Kitchen has cooked up one of the most heated culinary showdowns on television.
Two squads of chefs duel it out in hopes of securing the ultimate prize, a prestigious role as head chef at a top restaurant. The previous round saw Cork City's own Ryan O'Sullivan triumph over competitors from Huntington Beach and Columbus in an intense final battle. Excited about the show's double commission, with season 24 also confirmed to sizzle in the future, Ramsay, at age 57, expressed his enthusiasm to Deadline: "As my very first show on Fox, Hell's Kitchen holds a very special place in my heart and it's incredibly gratifying to have it renewed for its 23rd and 24th seasons.
"This show just keeps getting better and better, and with Fox, ITV and A. Smith and Co. as my partners, you can expect even bigger challenges, stronger talent and more intense competition in Hell's Kitchen in the years to come.
" Away from the studio spotlights, Ramsay enjoys family life with his wife Tana together they cherish their six children; Megan, age 26, twins Jack and Holly, 24, Matil.
