Hell's Kitchen Nightmares Iron Top Chef Cafeteria Throwdown Ultimate Cookoff Challenge is a competitive cooking show starring several celebrity chefs. It takes place at the South Park Elementary Cafeteria during the Season Fourteen episode "Crème Fraiche".

Background[]

Randy Marsh takes up a new job as the chef for the school cafeteria, much to the annoyance of Stan. In an attempt to discourage Randy's passion for cooking, the boys devise a plan by having Cartman dressing up and impersonating as Gordon Ramsay. However, the plan falls apart when Bobby Flay arrives and challenges Randy in a cooking showdown, along with many other celebrity chefs.

During the competition, Randy is seen frantically searching for crème fraîche, his most important ingredient. He leaves the school cafeteria and returns home to retrieve them.

In "DikinBaus Hot Dogs", Liane Cartman can be seen watching this television show as Eric Cartman tries to convince her to let him have a job so he can get a paycheck and move out of the Coney Island Hotdog, much to her dismay.
