Next Level Chef is returning to FOX for its second season on Sunday, February 12th, following Super Bowl LVII, and the network has revealed the contestants participating in the cooking competition.
Gordon Ramsay returns and will be joined by fellow chefs Nyesha Arrington, and Richard Blais as team leaders and mentors. Next Level Chef takes place on a set over three stories high with each floor containing one of three very different kitchens. From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients match the environment. Ramsay believes the true test of great chefs is not only what they can do in the best of circumstances, but what kind of magic they can create in the worst, Ramsay and his co-mentors leave no stone unturned, as they each recruit a group of the talented chefs and take them under their wings. In the end, one of the 18 contestants will win a $250,000 prize, a one-year mentorship from all three chef mentors, and the title of Next Level Chef.
The contestants set to appear in the FOX series are listed below.
