WITH SAFETY ON THE LINE, THE PRESSURE MIGHT PROVE TO BE TOO MUCH ON "HELL'S KITCHEN" SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, ON FOX

The 16 chefs are given 40 minutes to execute their first individual challenge - the Bar Menu Challenge. Then, the chefs prep for the season's first dinner service, as they adapt to an all-new menu. For the first time ever, the restaurant will host Chef Tables on opening night with special VIP guests - singer Jordin Sparks ("American Idol" winner), actor Joe Mantegna ("Criminal Minds"), actor French Stewart ("3rd Rock from the Sun"), R&B singer Keith Sweat and singer Kirstin Maldonado from Pentatonix. One team struggles to bounce back after a rocky start, while the other team hits its stride and finishes strong. And after a disappointing dinner service, Chef Ramsay makes a shocking decision during elimination in the "Raising The Bar" episode of HELL'S KITCHEN airing Saturday, Dec. 23 (11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT) on FOX.
