Gordon Ramsay is a world-reknown chef. These contestants are trying to
win a spot as executive chef of a multi-million dollar restaurant in
the swank Las Vegas Red Rocks casino. Much of what you see is merely
play for the cameras - the contest is real and the stakes are high.
While some of the contestants were cast for their ability to create
"drama" some are dead serious and are actually experienced chefs.
