The first 18 seasons of “Hell’s Kitchen” were mostly shot in Los Angeles, but moved to Las Vegas for the 19th and 20th seasons. Gordon Ramsay’s first “Hell’s Kitchen” restaurant opened in 2018 in Vegas, and claims to have sold over 1 million servings of Ramsay’s specialty, the famous U.K. dish Beef Wellington, over the last six years. The mini-chain has since gone on to open a total of seven locations in spots like Miami and Washington, D.C., including the Foxwoods location that opened last year — a testament to the enduring appeal of Ramsay and the “Hell’s Kitchen” brand. The show moved back to L.A. for two seasons following the pandemic, before its new move to Connecticut.
The most recent “Hell’s Kitchen” season, 22, featured the theme “American Dream,” and hosted contestants who had faced serious hardship in their lives. The winner ended up being Ryan O’Sullivan, an immigrant from Cork, Ireland, who quite literally achieved the American Dream by coming to this country completely broke and ascending to becoming chef de cuisine at a high-end restaurant in Palm Beach, Florida.
While no theme has been announced yet for these next two seasons, the recent creative blending of formats and competitors has added new twists to a cooking show that was already known for explosive moments and mixing up teams at Ramsay’s whim. For longtime fans of the show, we’re sure the chef will cook up something special for the competition’s first season in its new location.
