List of episodes

Season 13 of the American competitive reality television series Hell's Kitchen premiered on September 10, 2014 on Fox. The prize was a head chef position at Gordon Ramsay's Pub & Grill at Caesars Atlantic City. Gordon Ramsay returned as head chef and Andi van Willigan and James Avery returned as sous chefs. However, Jean-Philippe Susilovic did not return as maitre d' and was replaced by Marino Monferrato. It also marks the first time since 2010 that two seasons of Hell's Kitchen aired in the same year. Kitchen Supervisor La Tasha McCutchen from Winter Haven, Florida won the competition, becoming the first winner since Christina Wilson to completely avoid nomination for elimination throughout the entire season. This is also the first time that the series had a new narrator. However, the identity of the new narrator is Roger Craig Smith (who is also the narrator of TLC's Say Yes To The Dress). (who was also the narrator for Season 14). This is also the first time since Season 9 that a season was 16 episodes long, and first time since Season 10 returned to 18 contestants, instead of 20 contestants from the past two seasons.

Opening sequence

The chefs battle against each other in an epic gladiator showdown at the Colosseum while Ramsay watches from the balcony.
