CELEBRITY SERVICE ON “HELL’s KITCHEN” THURSDAY, MARCH 26, ON FOX

Eric McCormack (“Trust Me”) and Robert Patrick (“The Unit”) Guest-Star; Two Chefs get sent home

Chef Ramsay puts the team’s palates to the test in a surprise taste-test challenge. During dinner service in a packed restaurant, tensions always run high. However, when a few celebrities (guest stars Eric McCormack and Robert Patrick) stop by for dinner the intensity really heats up. Who will Chef Ramsay send home this week? Tune in when “9 Chefs Compete” on HELL’S KITCHEN airing Thursday, March 26 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HK-508) (TV-14 L)

Last week J overcooked rice for both teams, turning it into mush, and forcing Chef Ramsay to take the risotto off of the menu for the night. Andrea and Carol were forced to eat a pasta dish, after Chef Ramsay said that the pasta was raw. Chef Ramsay later expelled J from Hell’s Kitchen in mid-service, after J committed several additional mistakes including burning the salmon and undercooking the scallops. Chef Ramsay would later threaten to do the same with Ben after he was caught cooking Beef Wellingtons on a dirty pan. Nevertheless, both teams completed service and the Red Team for finishing service first.

Each member of the blue team had to nominate who they thought should leave Hell’s Kitchen. The men nominated Lacey, while Lacey nominated Robert. Lacey and Ben were asked by Chef Ramsay to step forward. Chef Ramsay especially singled out Ben for nominating Lacey, as he felt that it was Ben that should’ve been nominated. But with J already out of the race, no other team members left Hell’s Kitchen.
