Starting this week, a local chef is about to come a fixture in living rooms nationwide.
Boston restaurateur Jason Santos (Buttermilk & Bourbon, Citrus & Salt, Abby Lane, B&B Fish) is taking on a starring role on season 19 of “Hell’s Kitchen,” which premieres at 8 p.m., Jan. 7 on FOX. Santos will serve as fiery host Gordon Ramsay’s sous chef, overseeing a group of chef contestants competing for $250,000.
The blue-haired chef, who will oversee the show’s Blue Team, said that while he endured plenty of vitriol from Ramsay as a contestant back in 2007, he had no reservations about dishing it out when current contestants messed up.
