CULINARY BOOT CAMP BEGINS ON AN ENCORE OF THE SEASON PREMIERE OF "HELL'S KITCHEN" SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, ON FOX

On the Season 16 premiere of HELL'S KITCHEN, Chef Gordon Ramsay welcomes the newest crop of hopefuls on the grounds of a U.S. Army training facility. The 18 aspiring chefs will have to demonstrate they have the discipline to succeed in HELL'S KITCHEN, before proving their culinary skills in the kitchen. Once Ramsay is confident they have a chance to survive, they are then split up into two teams - men (blue) vs. women (red) - and greeted by the Signature Dish Challenge! The winning team will enjoy a special dinner hosted by Ramsay at Takami Restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the losing team will be tasked with cleaning both kitchens and preparing the dining room for the season's first dinner service. Later, during the dinner service, and joined by VIP guests actor Nolan Gould ("Modern Family") and actress Erica Ash ("Real Husbands of Hollywood"), one team will deliver a fantastic service that impresses Chef Ramsay in an encore of the "18 Chefs Compete" season premiere episode of HELL'S KITCHEN airing Saturday, Sept. 24 (11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT) on FOX.
