Renowned British Chef and restaurateur, Marco Pierre White, spices up Asian Food Channel’s Red Hot Wednesday by appearing in Hell’s Kitchen for the first time in Asia. As the hellish head chef and critic, Chef White puts 10 British celebrities through their paces in preparing the ultimate celebrity dinner. The exclusive Asian television premiere of the latest 13-part reality competition series, Hell’s Kitchen UK, airs on AFC starting Wednesday, 6 May at 10 p.m.

Chef White’s exacting standards push the skills of 10 British celebrities to their limits, including Lee Ryan,
former member of the boy band, Blue. The highly spirited group is divided into teams by gender, with the teams

going head-to-head preparing mouth-watering meals for a discerning clientele. Each episode is brimming with cooking disasters, flare-ups, and eliminations all peppered with Chef White’s red-hot comments throughout.

The outspoken chef says that his presenting style on Hell’s Kitchen UK is very different from his former
disciple, Gordon Ramsay’s. He focuses on inspiring celebrity participants and teaching them how to
cook without humiliating them.

Yet, Chef White’s notoriously fiery temper has often put him in hot water. For instance, he is famous for
Hell’s Kitchen UK Heats Up Red Hot Wednesdays on the A sian Food Channel reducing Gordon Ramsay to tears during Ramsay’s early apprenticeship at one of his restaurants and very well may have been the inspiration to Ramsay’s persona on the US version of Hell’s Kitchen.

The recipient of many culinary accolades, Chef White’s self-confidence may be justified. In 1994, at the age of 33, White was one of the youngest chefs at the time to be awarded three Michelin stars, putting English cooking on par with classic haute cuisine standards. Dissatisfied though with his quality of life and wanting something more than recognition and fame; White made the bold decision to return his Michelin stars in 1999 and hung up his apron strings to grow his restaurant empire.

Be sure to catch the idiosyncratic Chef Marco Pierre White in his element in Hell’s Kitchen UK, premiering
exclusively on the Asian Food Channel on 6 May at 10 p.m.
