FOX has renewed the series, "Hell's Kitchen" for edition number 4 with Chef Gordon Ramsay leading a group of contestants through a culinary boot camp competition that will end with one of them winning a chef gig at a prestigious installment.

"Hell's Kitchen" first premiered on Fox in the Summer 2005 and has since seen two additional seasons follow a similar summer broadcast schedule. 

Hell's Kitchen features the sailor mouthed Ramsay reading his recruits the riot act and whipping them into proper fine kitchen chefs.

Hell's Kitchen's fourth season isn't expected to air until Summer 2008, but fans won't have to wait that long to see Ramsay again.

FOX announced that it had ordered "Kitchen Nightmares," another American adaptation of the U.K.'s Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares reality series. 

"Nightmares" will feature Ramsay travelling across America and helping restaurants in crisis, and will premiere on Thursday, September 13 at 9PM ET/PTand be part of Fox's Fall 2007 primetime schedule.

"[Kitchen Nightmares is] the best reality show we've ever done," Fox reality programming head Mike Darnell told reporters during a Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour session on Sunday, according to TV Week.
