In the new episode of Hell’s Kitchen season 21, competing chefs will once again showcase their cooking skills in a new challenge and try to secure their position in the kitchen. They will be given a new challenge by renowned chef Stephanie Izard.
In the challenge, the chefs will have to make a tempting dish with new ingredients, but only in a wok. The dish by both the Red and Blue Teams will be judged by Gordon Ramsey and Stephanie Izard. The Red team comprises of 20-somethings chefs, while the Blue team comprises of 40-somethings chefs.
