If you want the world's best risotto and scallops, Hell's Kitchen is your primary destination, since they're always on the menu. We'd suggest waiting several weeks after it opens to go, because in the early stages there will be long waits and a lot of cursing from the kitchen.

Last week, we saw the premiere of the second season of Kitchen Nightmares, where Chef Gordon Ramsay returned to save several failing restaurants from biting the dust. In fact, the beginning of the season saw him revisiting the kitchens of six restaurants which he managed to save from extinction.
The two-hour season premiere titled “Revisited: Gordon Returns” reeled in some impressive ratings, as it managed to lead the pack and land in the top spot among the 18-49 demographic, garnering a rating of 2.6. Because of the successful second season launch, the network has decided to keep Gordon Ramsay for a couple of years to come.

Star of Hell's Kitchen and perpetual TV villain Gordon Ramsay is actually off to something good recently as he spearheads an annual all-star charity football match. Ramsay, 41, will in fact captain The Rest of the World against England in ITV's Soccer Aid. He will lead a team of celebrities and World Cup veterans against a star-packed England side.
The game, which is set at Wembley on September 7, will feature celebrities Jonathan Wilkes and Gareth Gates, plus ex-player Alan Shearer. Former Scotland star Kenny Dalglish will manage Ramsay's side while Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp will lead the English side. Pop star Robbie Williams also regularly partakes in the charity games, but he had to miss out this year because of a knee injury.
