[Photos: © 2008 FOX BROADCASTING - CR: FOX]To get ready for the season 4 premiere of Hell’s Kitchen on April 1, FOX just announced the identities of the 15 aspiring chefs.
The “steaks” are higher than ever—the winner of the competition will earn the coveted position of “Executive Chef” at Ramsay’s new restaurant, “The London West Hollywood,” which is scheduled to open in summer 2008.
The kitchen gets hotter each week as Ramsay puts on the pressure, demanding absolute perfection. Frazzled chefs try to slice and dice their way to the top, as they vie for Chef Ramsay’s approval. The competition is more intense than ever. With more contestants and more dinner services, Gordon’s sharp-tongue and flared-temper is sure to cause some major meltdowns in the kitchen.

Dominic is a superb chef–and a great father! Did you know that he also runs his own catering business?
Does Chef Dominic have a website where I can order from his catering company? I love to read about a guy who is self-confident enough to be a stay-at-home parent! Lucky kids! Lucky wife!
