Later, Ramsay challenges the teams to shop on a budget and transform four classic ingredients into elegant dishes worthy of fine dining. Four special judges - chef Mark Peel, food critic Sophie Gayot, food blogger Libby Rego and restaurant manager Justin Wyborn - critique the teams' creations, and HELL'S KITCHEN welcomes some very special guests to the show's most elegant dinner service to date in an encore of the series' milestone 100th episode.

Chef Ramsay pits the women's team against the men's team in a blind taste-test challenge with the winning team earning a shopping spree and a fine dining experience at Chef Michael Mina's famed restaurant, XIV, and the losing team taking on the less glamorous task of sorting through trash. Later, concerned with the lack of teamwork at this point in the competition, Chef Ramsay challenges the teams to compete in a relay designed to test their cooking precision and communication skills. That night, dinner service disappoints not only Chef Ramsay but also two special guests: restaurateur Josiah Citrin and NFL quarterback Matt Cassel.

HELL'S KITCHEN (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) - "5 Chefs Compete"

With only five chefs remaining, the contestants must prove that they have the passion and talent to move forward in the competition. In a challenge designed to test who has what it takes to cater to LA Market's high-profile clientele, Chef Ramsay asks the contestants to prepare and serve their signature dishes in food trucks to sell to the downtown Los Angeles lunch crowd. The chef with the most popular dish earns a Beverly Hills makeover by celebrity hairstylist Jos� Eber and fashion guru Steven Cojocaru, while the rest of the contestants are forced to scrub down their food trucks and prepare HELL'S KITCHEN for dinner service.
