Salem Chef heads to Hell's Kitchen

Salem's very own chef Jen Normant is heading to Hell... Hell's Kitchen, that is.  A Chef de Cuisine for the Hawthorne Hotel and Peabody Essex Museum, Jen is going to put her cooking skill to the test during Season 9 of superstar chef Gordon Ramsay's hit FOX show, Hell's Kitchen. 

In the season premiere, Ramsay launches the competition with the signature-dish challenge.  Jen's signature dish is Special Secret Pork with Mashed Sweet Potatoes.

You can see Chef Normant and the other 17 chefs fare in Hell's Kitchen when the season premier airs on Monday, July 18th on FOX (8:00 - 9:00 PM ET/PT). 

The chef who wins season 9 will receive a head chef position at BLT Steak in New York City. 

Good luck, Chef Jen!
