Fox Unveils New Gordon Ramsay Show – How it Will be Different
Gordon Ramsay is set to helm another cooking-based show on Fox, and this time, the renowned chef will be going undercover to expose and then rescue some of America’s “filthiest restaurants.”
The new show, titled Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, will see the foul-mouthed chef venturing into struggling restaurants under the cover of the night. According to the official description, Ramsay will have a secret source on the inside who will help him gather raw, unfiltered evidence and provide a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant.
“This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before,” the synopsis continues. “By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes.”
Ramsay has hosted the reality cooking competition show Hell’s Kitchen on Fox since 2005, as well as several other formats, including Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, The F Word, Next Level Chef, and, most recently, Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars.
However, Secret Service is described as the chef’s “toughest assignment yet” as he takes “drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people.”
The question is whether the restaurant and staff are willing to accept Gordon’s mission or are too far gone to be saved?
“Over the years, I’ve embarked on many daring adventures alongside my partners at Fox,” Gordon Ramsay said in a statement. “And Secret Service is the most intrepid of them all! With undercover help and cutting-edge technology, I get to go full on ‘MI6’ with these restaurants… and they’ll never see it coming.””
Gordon is among the most prolific creative forces in television history, and along the way, has amassed an unbelievable fanbase, reaching nearly six billion total viewers and counting,” added Michael Thorn, President, Fox Television Network. “With limitless talent, Gordon infuses each of his series with its own remarkable, distinctive personality and unrivalled stakes, a reputation he certainly upholds with this terrific new concept that will once again keep his fans endlessly engaged.”
Studio Ramsay Global and Fox Alternative Entertainment produce, with Ramsay and showrunner Bill Langworthy serving as executive producers.

I think Gordon is great. Love his shows better then the other bs that they have on tv like a bunch of women getting mad and there men for cheating on them. Who cares about a bunch of rich wife’s watching there husbands cheat.

I\'m pretty sure that Food Network had a similar show several years ago. The \"spy\" had people who went to the restaurant to dine and showed the owners what was going on. I think the owners contacted him because of unexplained losses and bad reviews. He even took them to a separate room so they could see what was going on as it was happening. There were cameras everywhere. I wish I could remember the name. Gordon\'s show seems similar, but the focus is more on cleanliness. It could be interesting. I saw him using a black light on an episode of Hotel Hell.

I started watching Kitchen nightmares from the start. I work in restaurant design but never worked in house. His shows helped give me insight as to what goes in the kitchen back of house and how to better design accordingly.

Gordon is great and all, but I think he\'s run his course. It\'s the same schtick over and over. How may times can you learn to cook a scrambled egg and a steak?
