Solution to Hell’s Kitchen

Answer: DEVILED HAM
by Eric Berlin

After identifying each demon, you can exorcise each one (mostly) by rearranging the letter strings before and after each letter in the demon's name, to spell an answer to one of the Exorcism Incantantions.

One of the demons' letters will remain, however. Taken in order (so the D in Demogorgon is first, the E in Belphegor is second, etc.) spells the answer DEVILED HAM.
