Hell’s Kitchen is set to return for another episode this week. It's the last time the show's doors open this year as it gets ready to crown the winner.

The winning chef will win a grand prize of a quarter of a million dollars and the position of head chef at Gordon Ramsay Steak, which is located in Paris Las Vegas Resort.

The synopsis of the upcoming episode reads:

"The final three chefs are to create their own menus for Hell's Kitchen, with each round of dishes judged by five incredible world-renowned chefs where one will be eliminated."

Hell’s Kitchen season 21 episode 15 will air on Thursday, February 9, at 8 pm ET on Fox.


Hell’s Kitchen season 21 will have a 2-hour-long finale

The Fox show will have a two-hour-long season finale titled, A Finale for the Ages, Part 1, and Part 2, this week. The upcoming episode will feature five well-known chefs as the judges. One of them, Curtis Stone, is from the show Take Home Chef.

The final three contestants still in the running are Alex, Dafne, and Alejandro. Chef Alex recently took to social media to share a sneak peek of the upcoming episode and also a little bit about his journey.

He wrote:

"In 2 days it’s all over. In 2 days all will be revealed. In 2 days someone’s life will change forever. In 2 days me and 2 of my best friends go head to head to head to see who walks away with the winnings!"

He added that regardless of who wins the trophy, all three of them are winners and that he feels honored to have been able to cook alongside both of them and “laughing the whole way through.”

In the teaser, Dafne said in her confessional that she’s going to pass out any minute and the narrator said that the upcoming Hell’s Kitchen finale is the most surprising one yet. All the eliminated contestants from season 21 will be present at the finale, cheering on the finalists.
