Are you a chef? Are you a glutton for punishment? And are you willing to let brilliant British chef Gordon Ramsay rip you a new one on national television?

If so, hit up the Hell's Kitchen casting session from 5 to 10 p.m. next Tuesday, October 7, at Barcelona (15440 N. Greenway Hayden Loop, Scottsdale). It's an open call for chefs age 21 and over.

As you probably know, the notorious hothead has incredibly high standards in the kitchen, and has a fantastic vocabulary at his disposal for times when things heat up. One can only imagine how much skill and focus it takes to avoid the man's wrath, but this season's prize is supposedly the biggest in the show's history, so it's worth a shot.

For info, visit www.fox.com/hellskitchen, call 310-482-0696 or 866-226-2226, or email [email protected] or [email protected]

And in the meantime, for a good laugh, check out Little Gordon, a tiny terror whose spoof of Chef Ramsay is dead-on, right down to the filthy mouth . . .!
