In this introductory episode of Hell's Kitchen for its new season, 20 aspiring chefs from all parts of America are flown over to Las Vegas. Contestants were divided into the blue team or red team, according to their gender.This comes as a suprising treat as the contestants were wondering why the bus they were on were going around in circles around LAX.
The contestants were brought to a showroom stage at Caesar's Palace, where they were allowed to introduce themselves to a huge crowd and for them to introduce their signature dishes in front of a live crowd for the first time in Hell's Kitchen history. The red team won the first challenge and were treated as VIP guests at the Caesar's Palace, while the men were to return to Hell's Kitchen by bus transportation with no air-conditioning through the Nevada deserts as their punishment.
