Gordon Ramsay hosts a fiery cooking competition in which the winner receives a head chef position.

Two teams are combined into one, and each chef is given one main ingredient and asked to create a dish suitable to chef Ramsay's palate; during the dinner service, the chefs have difficulty getting food out to the patrons.

The chefs are challenged to teach cooking-impaired housewives how to make a gourmet meal; chefs Mark Peel and Ben Ford treat the challenge winner to a one-on-one course; the chefs struggle to balance a dozen appetizers, entrées and desserts.

The final four chefs prepare a special luncheon for 80 pregnant women, who choose their favorite dish and send the winner on a $1,000 shopping spree; during the dinner service, one chef gets careless and burns chef Ramsay's hand.

Chef Ramsay invites the final three chefs and a few special guests to breakfast he prepared, and asks the chefs to recreate a signature dish; the chefs each take a turn running the hot plate during the dinner service.
