FOX has released some new details on the contestants in this year’s new season of “Hell’s Kitchen”, which returns for its 23rd season later this month.

Thanks to the culinary boom of the last 30 years, good chefs have more skills in their arsenal than ever before. But Chef Ramsay knows one critical skill for a great chef remains elusive and rare: leadership. And Chef Ramsay is looking for the ultimate leader to fill a very special position in his empire. So, for this historic season, filmed for the first time on the east coast at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, where one of Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurants is located, Chef Ramsay is focusing his search on one specific group: Head Chefs Only! This talented crop of chefs will come from all ages, backgrounds, culinary specialties, and restaurant types. But whether that restaurant is a tiny mom-and-pop shop or sports a large fine-dining brigade, these chefs are used to calling the shots. Line cooks need not apply. And with such proven leaders in his kitchen, Chef Ramsay is setting the bar higher than ever before. The challenges… tougher. The opinions… stronger. The drama… louder. These alpha head chefs will battle it out in the ultimate ego blender to prove they have the culinary skills and leadership mettle to command Chef Ramsay’s kitchen. Here are this year’s contestants:
