How to watch Kitchen Nightmares season 8 online: Gordon Ramsay is back

Renegade British chef Gordon Ramsay is back on his quest to help struggling restaurants and eateries, as Kitchen Nightmares season 8 returns after a decade-long hiatus.

Each episode of Kitchen Nightmares follows Ramsay as he visits a struggling restaurant, diner, cafe or bakery, meets the eatery's owners and samples its food — and then try to address whatever heinous issues are preventing the venue from being as successful as it could be.

The show is obviously great for foodies, but it's also a fun drama as Ramsay has a "wrecking ball" style tactic for fixing any kind of issue. And sometimes he needs it too, with some of the stubborn restaurant owners he meets.

This is just one of the shows that Gordon Ramsay headlines in the US, as he also hosts Hell's Kitchen season 22 airing this fall.

So here's how to watch Kitchen Nightmares season 8, ready for when it returns on Monday, September 25.

Unfortunately, there's no word on whether Kitchen Nightmares season 8 will air in the UK at all, which means it definitely won't be available to watch when it debuts in the US.

The previous seven seasons of the show are available on Channel 4's streaming service, called Channel 4, but so far there's no news on whether the eighth season will follow suit.
