After the success of the US version of the TV show, Gordon Ramsay is rumored to be bringing Hell’s Kitchen back to the UK, after more than 20 years since it first aired here.
Hell’s Kitchen is reportedly set to return next year more than a decade since it ended in the UK. Gordon Ramsay is said to be gearing up to bring back the culinary competition following the success of the franchise elsewhere.
Fronted by Gordon, now 58, the show debuted on ITV in 2004. The first series featured celebrity contestants like Amanda Barrie. The head chef then left the show, which continued for another three seasons, including one that featured members of the public as contestants, until it came to an end in 2009.
Gordon left the show in 2005, and he launched Hell’s Kitchen on Fox in the US. Since then, he hasn’t left that international version, which just finished its twenty-third season.
However, last year there was rumors that Gordon was in talks to reprise the show in the UK. He’s reportedly planning to return to Hell’s Kitchen next year, with speculation that he’ll take over as head chef once more. In response to similar initiatives in the US, he’s also said to be thinking about opening restaurants in this area with the show’s name.
A source told the Sun: “Fans of the show will be doubly thrilled by the prospect of the competition coming back and being able to dine in a Hell’s Kitchen restaurant over here. Business-savvy Gordon has watched as the popularity of Hell’s Kitchen in the US has helped bring in thousands of customers to his restaurants.”
The source said that it’s a “smart move”. They said: “The programme is broadcast in more than 100 countries around the world, so between tourists visiting Britain and developing a whole new audience for the telly contest in the UK, it’s an incredibly smart move on his part.”
The Hell’s Kitchen name was registered in the UK on January 27th, allowing users to use it in restaurants, for entertainment, and for audio and video recordings. The trademark was added on April 18 and will expire on January 27, 2035. It recommends that they begin working right away when the ITV show is revived.
Due to the success of the series broadcast there, it would follow the previous launch of a chain in the US carrying the name Hell’s Kitchen. In 2018, Gordon opened the first restaurant in Las Vegas.
In front of Caesars Palace is the location of the franchise, which has been hailed as the first Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen restaurant in the world. It is said to have more than 300 seats.
According to its website, the restaurant, which features a red and blue kitchen that represents the teams’ division in Hell’s Kitchen, is inspired by the TV show. It promises that “guests will feel as though they are on a studio set.”
Since then, Gordon has opened a number of additional Hell’s Kitchen locations in the US. Atlantic City, Miami, and Washington, D.C. are additional locations.
Chef Gordon made fun of the restaurants’ “nostalgia” in a message posted on the chain’s website. This concept of Hell’s Kitchen is rooted in nostalgia, he said.
From the red and blue teams’ colors to the banquets and the chef tables, the restaurant on set is exactly the same as the one we built here. Everyone is desperate to eat those scallops, so there’s the food.
