 Set in the high-octane environment of a glamorous and bustling restaurant, all the action is set against the backdrop of the drama of a full working kitchen staffed by some of the best chefs in the country. Over the course of the show Gordon and his brigade prepare a three-course meal for diners who all share Gordon s passion for food. Gordon launches his campaign to  Get Women Back in the Kitchen  and puts his reputation on the line in  Recipe Challenge  when he invites a member of the public to pitch their recipe against his. Up and coming cooks and chefs from around the UK fight to earn a job in one of Gordon s restaurant kitchens: every week two hopefuls help Gordon s brigade prepare dinner in the restaurant.
