For the first time in Hell's Kitchen history, every chef will be from and represent a different place. The Top 20 chefs will set out to impress Chef Ramsay in the Signature Dish Challenge before embarking on their first dinner service.

To test the chef's teamwork, Chef Ramsay has the remaining chefs compete in a speed breakfast challenge for local Connecticut Police Officers! Then, in the most dramatic dinner service yet, both the Red and Blue teams melt under pressure at the fish and meat stations and must face Chef Ramsay's wrath.

This week, the chefs visit Stonington, Connecticut to compete in a very fishy relay race! Then, during dinner service both teams step up their game but will it be enough to keep them in the competition come the end of the night?

The chefs are challenged to blend two distinct state delicacies into one cohesive dish. During dinner service, the teams must come together to serve a dining room packed with VIPs, including a bachelor party and UCONN Basketball legends. There may be too many cooks in the kitchen as the chefs battle for authority and respect.

The chefs face their toughest critic yet when they are challenged to elevate a classic Southern specialty. Lack of communication among the teams slows down the dinner service, displeasing Chef Ramsey. Simple mistakes like cooking temperature slip ups and timing coordination between stations could lead to the end of one chef's journey.

The chefs are challenged to prepare an elevated Mexican dish; celebrity chef Gabriela Camara guest judges; at dinner service, the teams struggle with pork chops and garnishes which could send chefs packing.
