Hell's Kitchen 2 will premiere Monday, June 12 with a special two-hour debut. Like last season, in addition to working together, Hell's Kitchen's chef-wannabes will also live together in a house that will keep the contestants under cameras 24/7. Each week, Ramsay -- an extremely demanding perfectionist and former professional soccer player -- will slice and dice the contestants, sending home those who he thinks "can't stand the heat."
Hell's Kitchen 2 was filmed at the same location as the show's original edition -- the Los Angeles restaurant location that was originally supposed to serve as the first season's grand prize (Hell's Kitchen 1 ended with Michael Wray, its 27-year-old winner, turning down the restaurant prize and instead accepting Ramsay's offer to come work at his world-famous London restaurant.)
The twelve contestants who will be competing on Hell's Kitchen 2 are:
• Gabe, a 27-year-old marketing executive from Chicago, IL
• Garrett, a 27-year-old former prisoner/chef from Cedar Park, TX
• Giacomo, a pizza maker from Euless, TX
• Keith, a 28-year-old chef/bartender from South Hampton, NY
• Larry, a 38-year-old fishmonger from Arlington, TX
• Tom, a 43-year-old former stockbroker from Belleville, NJ
• Heather, a 25-year-old sous chef from Port Jefferson, NY
• Maribel, a 31-year-old cafeteria chef from Brooklyn, NY
• Polly, a 43-year-old caterer from Ben Franklin, TX
• Rachel, a 39-year-old personal chef from Dallas, TX
• Sara, a 31-year-old deli manager from Dallas, TX
• Virginia, a 25-year-old salad chef from New York, NY
