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

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.

The final two chefs are rewarded with a trip to New York, where they are asked to prepare their signature dishes; the chefs must prove their skill and passion by designing and running their own restaurants; Whoopi Goldberg makes an appearance.

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.
