Who's cooking this season?
Eighteen chefs, and the gimmick is age: FOX capped the field at 25 and under, a first for the show. They split into the usual red and blue teams. Filming happened at Hell's Kitchen at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, the third season shot there.
The opener is built around the anniversary rather than a cold-open dinner service, with past winners turning up. Ramsay has been off the FOX schedule since season 24 wrapped on Jan. 22, so this is an eight-month gap. Names, headshots and the Thursday dates that follow are in our season 25 guide, and this page says whether it's on any given week.
