Martha Stewart and José Andrés, friends from the food world, are teaming up for a new cooking competition series coming to NBC.
The pair will host and exec produce Yes, Chef! for the network.
The series comes from Magical Elves, the company behind Top Chef and Nailed It!, and Religion of Sports.
The series will put 12 highly skilled chefs, who have been nominated by their bosses, co-workers, friends and even family, through the ultimate test, per the logline. Stewart and Andrés will guide the chefs each week through a series of culinary challenges designed to test and overcome their personal issues. The chefs will have to prove they have the culinary chops and the right attitude to make it to the end. The chef who handles the heat, impressing with both their food and teamwork while improving their behavior, will take home the $250,000 grand prize, provided by granola brand Purely Elizabeth.
The series, which premieres on Monday April 28 at 10pm after The Voice, was one of the last greenlights given by Corie Henson, who recently exited NBCUniversal.
Yes, Chef! is executive produced by Casey Kriley, Jo Sharon, Jimmy Fox, Kevin Lee, Doneen Arquines, Paul Storck, Richard Wolffe, José Andrés and Martha Stewart. It will be distributed by NBCUniversal Formats.
