Gordon Ramsay is gracing our screens once again—he's hot, BTW—but this time it's not for Hell's Kitchen or Master Chef. It's actually for another series he stars in called 24 Hours to Hell and Back. This show isn't the classic contestant-critiqued-by-a-panel-of-judges-type set-up, and it's not a team against team competition either. This program is more of a restaurant makeover-type show, with that added Gordon Ramsay attitude for entertainment, of course. If this already sounds right up your alley, here's everything you need to know about 24 Hours to Hell and Back before tuning in.
What exactly is the point of the show, anyway?
The main idea is that Gordon Ramsay is here to fix all of your problems. Well, not all of them, but he wants to help failing restaurants get back on their feet by retraining employees with cooking and hospitality skills. There is a team sent into the restaurants to get secret footage of the restaurant and its malpractices, all before Gordon is sent in the surprise the restaurant owner and team. It's not just the food that gets a total makeover, but an entire fleet of designers and decorators helps remodel the restaurant both inside and out as well.
What's the catch?
The challenging part is that Gordon totally makes over these disastrous restaurants in just 24 hours, and all his work is done out of his truck, appropriately called "Hell on Wheels." This isn't just any old vehicle, though. According to the show's description it's a "state-of-the-art mobile kitchen and command center." So it's, like, super legit.
Is this show new?
Nope, this is the third season of the show, which means it's currently the perfect length to make it binge-worthy.
What restaurants will Gordon be renovating?
Gordon and his renovation team will travel all around the country to struggling restaurants. Last season, they visited locations in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Tennessee, Missouri, and California, so there really is no limit to which states they'll hit. We'll just have to wait and watch to see where he ends up because it might even be in our neighborhoods!
How is this different than his other shows?
Unlike Gordon's other programs, the point of this show is about the importance of good customer service, since these days anyone with a cell phone or access to the internet can become a food critic with one single post. In 24 Hours to Hell and Back, he's helping everyday people make their businesses the best they can be rather than critiquing highly trained professionals.
How can I watch?
The first episode of season three is airing tonight on FOX at 9 p.m. EST.
