Executive Chef Amber Lancaster and Lead Line Cook Nikki Hanna bring the sizzle to The MC Hotel every Thursday as they both compete on Season 19 of Hell’s Kitchen.
Lancaster and Hanna are the culinary creative force behind the hotel’s two dining spots. — Allegory, which offers a chic modern take on clean, healthy cooking, and Alto, the breathtaking rooftop bars.
Even though this culinary duo compete against each other in the fiery competition set in Las Vegas, Lancaster and Hanna have become good friends and have enjoyed bringing the heat back to New Jersey’s MC Hotel for fans to experience.

“We are beyond proud of Executive Chef Amber Lancaster and Lead Line Cook Nikki. Their experience in some of the most celebrated kitchens across the globe have enabled them to successfully navigate the fiery competition of Gordon Ramsay’s HELL’S KITCHEN. Now, guests and locals can experience this talented duo first-hand at Allegory,” said Oscar Fontana, General Manager of The MC Hotel.
Every Thursday, through the show’s season finale, guests of The MC Hotel and its Allegory restaurant are invited to enjoy the competition first-hand — watching the show live and ordering from a weekly HELL’S KITCHEN-inspired tasting menu revealed during the live show each week, featuring dishes cooked up by Chef Lancaster and Lead Line Cook Hanna.

Book your table at Allegory on Thursday nights to enjoy the secret menus (only offered Thursdays at Allegory) while watching Hell’s Kitchen live.
