Jose Andres and Martha Stewart Put Rebellious Chefs to the Test in NBC’s New High-Stakes Cooking Competition “Yes, Chef!” Premiering Monday, April 28 @ 10PM ET/PT

Twelve Talented Chefs with Sharp Edges Battle Their Skills, Emotions, and Each Other in Challenges Designed to Push Their Pressure Points

NBC has greenlit “Yes, Chef!” a bold new cooking competition that aims to reform hot tempers, egos, and attitudes in the heat of the kitchen with Emmy Award®-winning chefs José Andrés and Martha Stewart. Both will serve as hosts and executive producers on the project.

The series will premiere on Monday, April 28 (10PM ET/PT) on NBC, following “The Voice.”

From Magical Elves, the Emmy Award-winning producers of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” “Yes, Chef!” blends the high-stakes thrill of a cooking competition with the raw emotion of personal transformation as it delves into the powerful personalities attracted to the chaotic culinary lifestyle. The series puts 12 highly skilled chefs, who have been nominated by their bosses, co-workers, friends, and even family, through the ultimate test. These rising stars all have natural talent, but their egos, intensity, stubbornness or short fuses are holding them back from reaching their full potential.

With humor and tough love, José and Martha will guide the chefs each week through a series of intense culinary challenges designed to test and overcome their personal issues. In this competition, 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.

“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. Magical Elves and Religion of Sports produce.

“Yes, Chef!” will be distributed globally by NBCUniversal Formats, a division of Universal Studio Group.
