The seventeenth season of the American competitive reality television series Hell's Kitchen (officially known as Hell's Kitchen All Stars) premiered on Fox on September 29, 2017, and concluded on February 2, 2018. Gordon Ramsay returned as host and head chef, while British MasterChef judge James "Jocky" Petrie returned as the Blue Team's sous-chef, replacing Aaron Mitrano, and Christina Wilson returned as the Red Team's sous-chef, replacing Andi Van Willigan-Cutspec. Marino Monferrato returned as maître d'.
The season was won by season 14 third-place finisher Michelle Tribble, with season seven third-place finisher Benjamin Knack finishing second and season 14 fifth-place finisher Nick Peters Bond placing third.
The season was cast in January 2017. [1][2]
This is the first season in Hell's Kitchen history to have an all-star edition as 16 former contestants, all of whom earned a black jacket during their original appearances, returned to compete once again (also their first time since season eight returned to 16 contestants instead of 18). It is also the first season to have a theme, which each subsequent season would do from this point on (in the tradition of the first 40 seasons of Survivor).
