List of episodes

This article contains contestant information and episode summaries from Season 3 of the American competitive reality television series Hell's Kitchen. Cast during February 2007, the third season started airing on the Fox television network on June 4, 2007, and concluded on August 13, 2007.

The Hell's Kitchen set moved from a building at La Brea Avenue and Willoughby, where it was located for seasons one and two, to a Century Studios building on La Cienega Place, off West Jefferson Blvd for season three. During Episode 9 (aired July 30, 2007), a casting call was announced for the fourth season of the show.[1]

This was the first Hell's Kitchen season to be filmed in 16:9 standard definition.

The season finale was a record high for the show's ratings, drawing 9.8 million viewers.[2] Executive Chef Rock Harper won the season and was awarded a US$250,000 per year head-chef position at a restaurant in the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa in Henderson, Nevada.
