Next Level Chef

The new season of Next Level Chef returns with mentors Gordon Ramsay, Nyesha Arrington, and Richard Blais guiding a mix of social media stars, home cooks, and professional chefs, including former WLWT reporter Elise Jesse. Contestants compete in cooking challenges across three stacked kitchens: the top level features advanced modern tools, the middle a standard commercial kitchen, and the bottom a limited, lower-quality setup. Chefs are divided into teams under the mentors’ guidance, with each episode testing their skill, creativity, and ability to adapt to different kitchen environments.
