IT'S VETERANS VERSUS ROOKIES ON AN ENCORE OF THE SEASON PREMIERE OF "HELL'S KITCHEN" SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, ON FOX

For the first time ever on HELL'S KITCHEN, Chef Gordon Ramsay invites eight previous contestants back to the kitchen to battle against eight ambitious rookies for a chance at a life-changing grand prize: an Executive Chef position at the world's first Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen Restaurant at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. In the first challenge of the season, the rookie chefs cook up the best versions of their signature dishes within 45 minutes, while the veterans attempt to create the same dishes, foregoing the making of their own signatures in the process. The winning team is rewarded with a first-class meal at restaurant Charcoal and is joined by Chef Ramsay, while the losers must prep the kitchen for dinner service the next day in an encore of the "Rookies vs. Veterans" Season 18 premiere episode of HELL'S KITCHEN airing Saturday, Oct. 27 (11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT) on FOX.
