Vanderpump Rules‘ Lisa Vamderpump will square off against Gordon Ramsay on season two of Fox’s Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars. The new season is set to premiere on May 22, 2024, with new episodes airing on Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT.
“Gordon is quite literally larger-than-life, an iconic figure and a dear friend,” stated Vanderpump. “Setting that aside, we’re both tenacious, tireless, competitive and demanding of ourselves and others, so while I salute the man and his many successes and defer to his mastery in the kitchen, I will never defer to him on this show. Game on, Gordon!”
Fox offered this description of the new season: “Ramsay and Vanderpump will each bring their expert knowledge and unique leadership styles to the competition, and in a first-of-its kind twist, the entrepreneurs will pitch themselves and their products, services or business ideas to the moguls, who will then choose contestants to build their respective teams. The battle commences as teams are put through ‘Business Bootcamp,’ designed to test their tenacity, initiative, perseverance, and ambition as business leaders.
With a $250,000 prize on the line, these entrepreneurs will be challenged in all aspects of running a food or beverage enterprise, including re-marketing a food product, innovating a new product, building brand loyalty, sales pitching, and management. In addition to Ramsay and Vanderpump, the challenges will be evaluated by guest judges, curated focus groups and customer feedback, profit and loss metrics, and market and corporate feedback.”
Gordon Ramsay serves as an executive producer along with showrunner Deborah Sargeant.
“Lisa is a tough, shrewd restaurateur and TV star,” said Ramsay. “She is a real force in business and true friend. However, make no mistake, the competition will be fierce between us!”
