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.

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.
