Chef Amanda Giblin joins the 20-contestant lineup for Season 11 of “Hell’s Kitchen,” celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s popular reality television cooking competition. The roster, revealed February 27, includes 10 female and 10 male chefs from across the United States.
The hopeful contestant posted these lines February 27 on her Twitter page:
I can officially announce I am competing on Hells Kitchen Season 11. Tune in 3/12 at 8pm to watch the wildest season yet!
The program returns March 12 with its eleventh season premiere, opening with a signature dish competition filmed before a live Las Vegas audience.
