Hell's Kitchen is an Italian reality television cooking competition (based on the British series of the same name) and American version broadcast on Fox. The Italian format is broadcast on Sky Uno since 2014. It is hosted by celebrity chef Carlo Cracco.

Format

The Italian format reflects the U.S. version. Two teams of aspiring chefs, equally divided between men and women, challenge tests with cooking and table service at the restaurant Hell's Kitchen, supervised and judged by chef Carlo Cracco. The chefs in first and second edition are as many as 16. A key feature of the program is the psychological pressure to which chef Cracco submits competitors; In fact, he does not hesitate to turn to them using insults and epithets particularly offensive, to criticize, scold them or to get them to work more efficiently or drive them out of the kitchen.

Each season opens with competitors, always divided between men and women presenting to a dish chef Cracco, in an attempt to showcase their talents. Starting next episode in the first part of each episode takes a test reward between the two teams (where competitors are few, these challenges become individual.) In the final stage the colors of the two jackets disappear, to make room for the coveted black jackets. Who wins these challenges (which can also occur in the external) is rewarded with a particularly entertaining or relaxing. The losers, however, remain at Hell's Kitchen, or in a place outside to serve a punishment consisting of very hard work and tiring and, in some cases, humiliating. The result of these tests, however, has no influence on what will be the final judgment of the episode.

In the second part of the episode, the contestants have to cook the dishes for restaurant customers (about 70 in which half are served by the blue and the other half from the reds) and Cracco with his chef to check their quality. Based on the work done, Carlo Cracco decide which of the two teams was the worst or the two teams will be losers. Among its components, the cook who is chosen, according to Cracco, stood out in a positive way than the other; he will be responsible to nominate two teammates, including Carlo Cracco will choose who will be eliminated from the game. However, it can also happen that Cracco decides not to take account of these at time of nomination; it may happen that the chef eliminate competitors who have not been appointed (although they belonged to the winning team), by virtue of their poor performance or behavior not correct. Similarly, competitors may be directly disposed of during the evening service, while in other cases no one is eliminated.

In fact, a difference of Hell's Kitchen than most of the reality show consists in the fact that the contestants are not judged by an audience, a tele-voting, jury or other forms of score any decision about their continuation in the race it is solely Cracco.

The chef Carlo Cracco runs the kitchen with the help of two sous-chef: Omar Allievi and Entiana Osmenzeza in first edition, in second edition Misha Sukyas and Marion Lichtle which coordinate the work of two teams of apprentices. While managing the relationship with customers is occupied by the maître Luca Cinacchi (his nickname is Luchino).

In the final episode the sous-chef and the guest star (In the first edition Bruno Barbieri, in second edition Matteo Grandi, the winner of first edition) have the task to sabotage the flow of the finalists, to make sure they know it during the service.
