<P> The seventeenth season of the reality series Hell's Kitchen (officially known as Hell's Kitchen All Stars) began airing on September 29, 2017 on Fox . This season is the first in Hell's Kitchen history to have an all star edition as sixteen former contestants return to compete once again, and the winner of this season will receive the position as head chef at the first - ever Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen Restaurant at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada . All of the returning chefs made it onto the Black Team in their respective seasons . Gordon Ramsay returns as host and head chef, Season 10 winner (and Season 15 sous - chef) Christina Wilson returns as the Red Team's sous - chef replaced Andi Van Willigan - Cutspec, who was pregnant at the time of filming, and British MasterChef judge James "Jocky" Petrie makes his Hell's Kitchen debut as the Blue Team's sous - chef replaced Aaron Mitrano . Marino Monferrato returns as the maître d' . </P> <P> This was the first season since Season 14 and second since Season 9 to feature only one team reassignment . It was the fourth season overall, and second in three, to feature both a chef eliminated from the winning team and another chef eliminated during service, as well as two eliminated by Ramsay's nomination and three eliminated without participating in a dinner service . It was also the first season ever where one team (red) sent only one chef to the black jacket round . It was also the first time since Season 13 that both teams won the same dinner service . This was the first time since season 13 that the finale did not feature two women . In addition, this is the first time since Season 9 to feature a sole female at the top 4 . Also, this is the first season to feature three chefs in the finale . The red team won only two out of nine services outright, with one joint win and one joint loss . In four of the other five, they were thrown out of the kitchen . The team that won the challenge only lost two of the subsequent dinner services, a record fewest for a season . </P> <P> This is the fifth season in a row to feature a female winner (last season to feature a male winner was in season 12, by Scott Commings). The winner is Michelle Tribble, who previously ended in third place in Season 14 . </P> <P> Ramsay uses his telekinesis to destroy Hell's Kitchen while leaving the building as the intro ends with the title card featuring him and the all stars . This is the first season that doesn't list contestants individually in the intro . </P>
