Hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, Hell’s Kitchen is an American reality competition TV series broadcast on Fox, featuring two teams of chefs compete for a job as Head Chef at a restaurant.

A typical episode begins with a challenge between the teams; the winning team gets some sort of a reward that usually involves recreational activity outside the Hell’s Kitchen, while the losers are given a “punishment” that usually involves menial task.

The second part is a dinner service, where each team works in their own kitchen, attempting, under close and “hypercritical” supervision from Chef Ramsay, to complete the service without getting kicked out before finishing for too many errors.

The usual wrap-up involves whichever team is declared the loser of the dinner service choosing two of their own to be up for elimination.

“If Yan can cook, so can you!”

Yan Can Cook is a cooking show starring Martin Yan featuring Chinese recipes. That is Martin’s catchphrase which he used to sign off each show. “Something fishy here!”, he said that a lot too whenever he cooked seafood dishes.
Martin’s cooking presentation is infused with a little bit of humor. He likes to chop food frantically with a sharp cleaver while grinning at the cameras, which used to elicit a round of rapturous applause from the live American audience during his show.
