Gordon Ramsay & Lisa Vanderpump Join Forces in “Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars” Season 2

Season 2 of “Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars” is heating up with the addition of Lisa Vanderpump, who joins Gordon Ramsay in mentoring aspiring food and beverage industry professionals. The show, which premieres on May 22, 2024, on Fox, has been renewed and will be filmed in the UK, marking a shift from the previous season’s California setting.

The competition series, akin to “The Apprentice,” will put contestants through a “Business Bootcamp,” challenging their skills and business acumen. With a $250,000 prize on the line, the entrepreneurs will face rigorous tasks covering various aspects of running a food or beverage enterprise, including product development, marketing, sales pitching, and management.

The contestants will be divided into teams, with Ramsay and Vanderpump each selecting their team members. The teams will then battle it out, and the losing team will face intense scrutiny, with one member being eliminated. The ultimate winner will receive the grand prize and a valuable investment from their respective mentor.

The first season of “Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars” averaged 3.3 million multiplatform viewers, making it the number one show of the summer among adults aged 18 to 49. The show’s renewal underscores the popularity of Ramsay’s programs, with Fox’s Unscripted Programming President, Allison Wallach, praising his ability to “connect with viewers and contestants.”
