Similar to its first four editions, Hell's Kitchen's fifth season cast will both work and live together in a restaurant/housing facility that will keep the contestants under cameras 24/7 as they try to impress foul-mouthed British chef Gordon Ramsay via various challenges and dinner services.
The fifth-season winner will receive the grand prize of a "head chef" position at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, which opened in 2003.
