Season chronology | |
The sixteenth season of the American competitive reality television series Hell's Kitchen premiered on September 23, 2016 on Fox. The prize will be a head chef position at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar at The Venetian Las Vegas. In addition to Gordon Ramsay, who returns as host/head chef, Marino Monferrato and Aaron Mitrano will return as maitre d' and sous chef, respectively, for the blue team, while Andi van Willigan-Cutspec resumed her role as sous chef for the red team after Season 10 winner Christina Wilson filled in for her in the previous season while she got married. This was also the first season since Season 13 to take a hiatus due to Fox's coverage of the 2016 World Series. In addition, the remaining episodes of the season will begin airing on Thursday nights as part of the network's midseason schedule.
This season's blue team currently ties with season 10's blue team and season 14's red team for the record of being kicked out of service 5 times.
