Gordon Ramsay launches new competitive cooking show
Dubbed Next Level Chef, the show looks set to be a new breed of cooking competition.
In the series, professional chefs, home cooks, social media stars and street food specialists alike will all go head-to-head in a series of different tests.
Competitors will have to run a culinary gauntlet, taking on three different stages and three different kitchens. Each step will challenge a different skill and ultimately, only the most well-rounded cooks will succeed.

Ramsay, D’Acampo and Arrington will serve as judges and mentors throughout the series. However, only one contestant can claim the ultimate $250,000 cash prize.
Speaking about the new series, Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials at Fox Entertainment said: “Next Level Chef is a unique format that could only come from the delightfully brilliant culinary mind of Gordon Ramsay.
“We couldn’t be happier to bring Gordon, Nyesha and Gino competing together on what is a new and innovative way into a cooking competition series.”
Ramsay himself seems equally excited about the project, adding: “This is the next evolution in cooking competitions. It’s big and it’s bold, and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Here’s hoping it can live up to the hype.

Ramsay continues with Fox
This isn’t the first time the world’s sweariest chef has joined forces with the Fox media empire.
As well as Next Level Chef, Ramsay is also a judge on the network’s MasterChef and MasterChef Jr competitions. He has also appeared on a US adaptation of his F Word series back in 2017.
While she does not have the same longstanding connections to the network, Arrington is no stranger to TV. The California-born cook has starred in several shows, including HBO Max’s Selena + Chef and Tournament of Champions.
