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

Chef Ramsay brings in helping hands to staff the dinner service in the final challenge; tempers flare between competitors; the winner becomes the new head chef of one of Ramsay's Las Vegas restaurants.

Fifteen vie for the position of executive chef at Gordon Ramsay's new restaurant, scheduled to open in the summer of 2008; Gordon gets physically sick from a contestant's concoction; one contestant goes missing.

On family night, the team that makes the most fresh pasta for that night's dinner service wins a day of fun at the Santa Monica Pier; an accident sends one contestant to the hospital.

The aspiring chefs compete to create the best gourmet pizza, after which the winning team will enjoy a gourmet meal in Santa Barbara and the losing team will take and deliver pizza orders.
