Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGordon Ramsay has stated that he is much more understanding of mistakes on this show due to the fact that contestants are amateurs who want to learn. He stated he has no problem teaching and helping, but when dealing with professional chefs on his other shows, he has far less patience as a lack of skills usually indicates laziness or neglect in those scenarios.
- GoofsWhenever the contestants cook for the public particularly in the team challenges, the contestants don't always wear some type of protective cover for their hair, such as a hairnet.

Featured review
Great show...a fast season though
I have loved many of Gordon Ramsey's shows that have been brought to the US, however, it was a VERY fast season with the two hour episodes. The judges seemed fair, but sometimes I wish they couldn't see the dishes being created. It would seem more honest if they had to judge blindly.
The contestants are challenged in many ways and it is great to see how they adjust to the unplanned and unfamiliar. This show teaches that you don't have to be fancy or complicated, but true to the food and your passion. I do think they have their favorites but, otherwise, I love the show and can't wait for the next season.
