Kitchen Nightmares season 9 is coming with the subtitle 'Road to Super Bowl LIX', and each episode of the first half of the series focuses on a restaurant or eatery in New Orleans, where this year's Super Bowl will take place.
Episodes after the football showdown will move over to Austin and Houston, for the second half of the season.
If you haven't seen it before, Kitchen Nightmares sees British chef Gordon Ramsay visit a dining establishment that's struggling. He'll taste the food, meet the staff and see how the business is run, all in the hopes of turning around their fortunes.
Season 9 promises more of the same, with the addition of a Super Bowl and NFL theme. So here's how to watch Kitchen Nightmares season 9.
