The fourth Hell's Kitchen season premiere finds a crop of contestants battling to become the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Los Angeles called The London.
In the fourth season trailer, Ramsay promises to be harder than ever on the chefs because the prize is better than ever before. In the very first episode he calls one contender "Smurf", another a "donkey", and throws a piece of chicken across the kitchen.

Hell's Kitchen 4 Week 1 Summary
- The Hell's Kitchen introduction is "haunted"-themed, with clips of the harshest moments from the third season. We're now in a montage of clips from the current season with quick shots of the contestants saying catch-phrases like "the gloves are off" and "I'll step on people all the way to the top." This montage is nearly identical to the Season Four trailer linked to above.
- The contestants all arrive from the airport. Vanessa thinks that Hell's Kitchen is her destiny. Gordon Ramsay is on the bus as "Terrence", a long-haired Ozzy Osbourne look-alike with sunglasses. It looks very similar to Chef Ramsay, but none of the contestants seem to notice. Bobby calls himself "the black Gordon Ramsay". Jean-Phillipe introduces himself and does a brief impression of Ramsay. He asks the other contestants to do impressions of Ramsay, as the real Ramsay looks on. Ramsay takes the stage and does his own "impression". Then he takes off the mask and introduces himself.
- The opening musical intro is similar to that of other seasons, with the contestants' names flying at the screen in flaming letters.
- The chefs are given 45 minutes to cook their signature dishes and plate them for Chef Ramsay. He tries Craig's first, but not before making fun of his large chef's hat. Ramsay thinks the chilean sea bass is too sweet and calls it a pile of s---. Jen is next with her crab and corn risotto. He spits it out, says the rice is raw and that she can't cook.
- Private Chef Corey is next. He calls her blonde and boring. Jason's could come from a can, he says. Shayna's was burnt. After five straight failures, he comes across Matt's "Exotic Tartare", which includes venison, scallops, and white chocolate. He insinuates that Matt smokes crack cocaine. After tasting it, Ramsey coughs it all out into a trash can.
- As the restaurant is about to open, Gordon Ramsay questions the men's team about the entrees. None of them can name any of the entrees. The women's team is able to name them off. Jean-Phillipe opens the restaurant.
- There are problems on both sides in Hell's Kitchen's first night. Jason is frequently missing, Bobby takes a decidedly "hands-off" leadership approach, and Dominic's scallops are undercooked and do not make it by the pass. Risottos on both sides are continuously sent back from the pass by Ramsay. Sharon Stewart submits one that Ramsay says "reeks of garlic". He spits up some that he's tasted into a trashcan.
- Vanessa Gunell gets removed from leadership duties on the women's team and Ramsay puts Rosann in charge. After several hours of the restaurant being open, most of the patrons have left, with none of the entrees having been served from either side.
- Ramsay shuts it down and calls it one of the most disappointing services in Hell's Kitchen history. Though everyone is a loser, he eventually choses the Women as the "winning" team. Ramsay says that Louross was the "best of the very worst" and has him choose two teammates for elimination. Louross chooses Dominic and Bobby. Ramsay criticizes both performances, but chooses Dominic to leave Hell's Kitchen. He says a good chef needs passion, creativity, and talent. Dominic had talent, but unfortunately that was all.
- As a final note, Ramsay tells Bobby to step up his game and makes sure that Jason knows that he dodged a major bullet.
