Hell's Kitchen is kicking off tonight, and season nine looks like it may be one of the best in some time. Four of the cheftestants already stand out as the ones I hope win (which is more hope than I normally have from the first episode), and the previews seem to suggest that there is miles more drama than the average season (assuming that's a positive for you).
