Hell’s Kitchen: Battle of the States season 24: What to expect?

As per Deadline, the theme of the show is,

“more about the individual chef and what they represent than it is about what they’ll be cooking or who they’ll be cooking with,"

As the new season premiered recently, the 20 have 45 minutes to create their signature dish and put themselves (and their respective state) on the map.  After everyone is finished, Gordon will call forward one member of each team to compete head-to-head. Gordon will test and score each dish between one and five points. The team with the highest score wins the challenge. 

As per Gold Derby, 

"A progressive elimination format trims the field until one winner remains — usually after enduring Ramsay’s legendary temper. Idiot sandwich, anyone?"
