Gordon Ramsay is adding a new cooking competition series to his impressive portfolio of reality shows. The world-famous chef and TV personality will serve as a host, mentor, and executive producer on Fox’s Next Level Chef, which is set to premiere at some point in 2021.
According to a press release, Next Level Chef takes place on a grandiose set that features three floors. Each floor is equipped with a different type of kitchen and has its own distinctive ingredients.
The series also stars chefs Nyesha Arrington and Gino D’Acampo, who join Ramsay as mentors. Each mentor will recruit line cooks, food truck owners, amateur chefs, and even social media stars and guide them through the competition. The winner will get the bragging rights and a $250,000 cash prize.
“This is the next evolution in cooking competitions,” said Ramsay in a statement. “It’s big, and it’s bold, and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Next Level Chef represents a continuation of Gordon Ramsay and Fox’s fruitful relationship. Ramsay is currently the judge on the networks’ reality cooking competitions MasterChef and MasterChef Jr. while starring in the U.S. adaptation of Hell’s Kitchen and fronting reality series Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell & Back. He previously helmed Hotel Hell, Kitchen Nightmares, and the U.S. adaptation of The F Word on Fox as well.
