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

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.

The final two chefs have one last dinner service to prove that they have what it takes to work in chef Ramsay's restaurant; the winner is chosen.

Sixteen chefs compete in rigorous culinary challenges under the exacting eye of chef Gordon Ramsay, hoping to win a position at a restaurant in Atlantic City, N.J.
