MUMBAI: US broadcaster Fox has ordered an 11th and 12th season of the Gordon Ramsay culinary competition series ?Hell?s Kitchen?.

In the cooking series, aspiring restaurateurs are put through an intense culinary academy to prove they possess the right combination of ingredients to win a life-changing grand prize.

Each week on the show as the teams are whittled down, the chefs get one step closer to earning the coveted black chef jacket.

Eventually two finalists will compete head-to-head to impress Ramsay with their skills, and only one chef will walk away with the ultimate prize.

MUMBAI: US broadcaster Fox has renewed ?Kitchen Nightmares? for a fifth season, ordering 16 new episodes of the series. The announcement was made by Fox president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell.

The series star and executive producer Gordon Ramsay said, "It?s great to be back for a fifth season... who knew there were that many nightmares to be had?".

Throughout the show?s run, Chef Gordon Ramsay has travelled to 54 cities around the US offering restaurants on the brink of closure some much-needed guidance and, more often than not, a healthy dose of tough love.

For many establishments, Chef Ramsay?s inimitable style and unique brand of delivery is difficult to swallow. With the economy hitting the restaurant business especially hard, these restaurateurs are looking to Chef Ramsay to wake them up from their own Kitchen Nightmares.
