Scoop: Coming Up on GORDON RAMSAY'S FOOD STARS on FOX - Wednesday, May 29, 2024

With Gordon and Lisa’s teams set, the culinary entrepreneurs are tasked with kickstarting a brand-new business venture from zero to profit in just 24 hours. The profit-based challenge brings the teams to London’s Battersea Power Station, where they must create a bespoke menu that they will then market and sell to a group of hungry customers.

The team with the lowest profits must then face Gordon and Lisa and one entrepreneur will be sent home in the all-new “The Bootcamp Begins” episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars airing Wednesday, May 29 (9:02-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FDS-202) (TV-14 L)

Culinary icon, Gordon Ramsay, welcomes hospitality industry leader Lisa Vanderpump, to the second season of the high-stakes competition series Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars. The two titans, who each bring their own expert knowledge, unique leadership styles and fiercely competitive nature, will face-off in the search for the next great food and beverage star. In a new twist this season, the entrepreneurs will pitch themselves and their products, services or business ideas to Gordon and Lisa, who will then choose contestants to build their respective teams. The battle commences as the teams are put through “Business Bootcamp,” designed to test their tenacity, initiative, perseverance and ambition as business leaders. 

With a $250,000 prize on the line, these entrepreneurs will be challenged in all aspects of running a food or beverage enterprise, including re-marketing a food product, innovating a new product, building brand loyalty, sales pitching and management. In addition to Gordon and Lisa, the challenges will be evaluated by guest judges, curated focus groups and customer feedback, profit and loss metrics, and market and corporate feedback. In the end, the ultimate outcome for Gordon and Lisa will be whose mentorship leads to victory for one of their team’s Food Stars hopefuls.
