Hell's Kitchen TV show is the culinary reality series by Gordon Ramsay airing on FOX channel. Despite the orientation of the culinary show, it is characterized by high "heat" and awesome dramatization of the story. At the heart of the Hell's Kitchen series is a contest between candidates for the position of chef at a famous restaurant. The show is constructed like a classic version of reality show in which all participants are placed "under the hood" and set the clock surveillance. Such psychological component of the show as uncomfortable social situation affecting the competition much higher than other aspects. Like many other shows of Ramzi, the basic concept is a contest between the parties. Each season begins with twelve participants, and in each episode one participant is eliminated (with rare exceptions). The main prize, according to the best traditions of Fox channel, is a fairly significant sum, which varies from season to season. All twelve participants vary greatly in their culinary abilities and skills, but in general they can be divided into two teams - "newcomers" and "professionals". "Newbies", who never earned a living by cooking and "Professionals", live their live by cooking and have it as the main profession. At this point, all three finals taking place between the "professionals", despite the fact that often the newcomers sought significant results and Gordon Ramsay was extremely pleased with their culinary achievements. In the initial episodes of the season, all participants are divided into two kitchens - "red" and "blue", the last five contestants form a single "black" team. There is the contest between the teams in the first stage and losing team loses one player upon the Ramzi's decision. The winning team is determined by results of "service" (dinner, from 7 pm until 11), sometimes, however, both teams are obliged to nominate one person. In the second stage, the contest is underway between individuals and as usual, the nominations have rather individual nature. There is the mini-competition arranged in each episode, which result is in promotion for the winning team / individual and severe punishment for the losers. All mini-competitions are highly practical in nature, identifying the most talented chefs. "The best among the worst " selected at the end of each episode determines two candidates for elimination from the losing team. After that, Ramsay chooses which of these two will go home. However, Gordon did not always respect this rule and may cause "on the carpet call," additional nominations, if he deems it necessary. This often happens in cases where the "best of the worst" is trying to get rid of the main opponents to the destruction of strong competitors.

Each city that finds the competitive show stopping off to serve up some savory foods gets to experience how frantic and frenetic the competition actually is. The teams must come up with a menu, then shop for what they will make, then serve it out and hope they can make some profit when it's all through. The truck that earns the least in cash is the one to be eliminated that week. Season one had an extra challenge provided by stopping off at a Truck stop at each city and season two finds a Speed Bump of some sort that creates unexpected circumstances (like running out of propane or needing to relocate after setting up for their day's business). Tyler Florence (Food Network star of How to Boil Water and Food 911) is host and each food truck team has their own unique theme for the food they serve. It's fast and fun viewing!
