Format

Gordon Ramsay is returning with a brand-new original cooking format on FOX: Next Level Chef.

Produced by FOX Alternative Entertainment and Studio Ramsay, Next Level Chef promises the next evolution in cooking competitions. Ramsay has designed a one-of-a-kind culinary gauntlet, set on an iconic stage: over three stories high, each floor contains a stunningly different kitchen—from the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement. The ingredients will match the environment.

Ramsay has opened up the competition and scoured the country for the very best line cooks, home chefs, social media stars, food truck owners and everything in between.

Joined by chefs Nyesha Arrington and Gino D’Acampo, Ramsay and his co-mentors will each recruit a group of talented chefs and take them under their wings. They will attempt to bring out the very best in their cooks, as they all try to find “the one.” At stake is a life-changing $250,000 grand prize.

“Next Level Chef is a unique format that could only come from the delightfully brilliant culinary mind of Gordon Ramsay,” said Rob Wade, president of alternative entertainment and specials at FOX Entertainment. “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.”

“This is the next evolution in cooking competitions,” said Ramsay. “It’s big and it’s bold, and I can’t wait for people to see it!”
