APPLETON - Prepare to feel the heat of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen — an Appleton chef has landed a spot on one of the most popular reality cooking competitions.

Corbin Emilio, owner of the Appleton pub Ambassador , 117 S. Appleton St., will showcase his cooking talents in the 23rd season of " Hell's Kitchen ."

This season, titled "Hell's Kitchen: Head Chefs Only," will feature 18 head chefs and restaurant owners from across the country, competing in competitions and performing dinner services, with one competitor eliminated each week until one chef is crowned the winner.
