Chef Andy Husbands featured on 'Hell's Kitchen'

Andy Husbands, the executive chef over at Tremont 647, reportedly made the cut in the upcoming season of "Hell's Kitchen" premiering on FOX at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21.

According to an inside source, Husbands kept his participation on the down-low while filming season six with hellraiser Gordon Ramsay. Apparently, he spilled to his friends that he was in Mexico while taping.

Born and raised in Seattle, the restaurateur moved to Massachusetts with his father in 1984 when he was 14. After serving years as a sous chef at the East Coast Grill in Cambridge, he decided to open his own restaurant, Tremont 647, in December of 1996.

The 39-year-old, along with two other Boston-area chefs including David "Louie" Cordio from Fitchburg and Jim McGloin from Nashua, NH, was plucked from an open casting call held on Sunday, Oct. 12 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers located at 50 Park Plaza.

Husbands, the acclaimed author of "The Fearless Chef," is rumored to have had a tumultuous time while filming the reality show. Read all about the bloody, behind-the-scenes details here on the chef's blog.

Boston-shot 'Man V. Food' airs on Travel Channel

In this brand new Travel Channel series, host Adam Richman travels the country in search of the biggest, baddest food challenges. Tonight he takes on Boston.

On Wednesday, Jan. 14 at 10 p.m., "Man v. Food" brings burger-eating to a whole new level. But first host Richman heads to Beantown for the East Coast Grill's Hell Night: a super-spicy feast where they serve some of the hottest foods on earth. The Pasta from Hell is topped with three Ghost Chilis, and a pepper from India that's 100 times hotter than a jalapeño. Next Richman is off to the Barking Crab (currently closed from Monday, Jan. 5 until Sunday, Feb. 1 for renovations. It's slotted to reopen Monday, Feb. 2) for some traditional New England fare: a four-pound clambake.

For the main event, Richman takes on the Eagles Deli Challenge in Allston with a local Red Sox fan: a whopping five-pound, 10-patty burger, with 20 slices of cheese, 20 pieces of bacon, five pounds of fries and a giant pickle. Over 1,500 have attempted the Eagles Deli challenge … and so far none have succeeded.
