Yes, Chef — Pictured: “Yes, Chef” Key Art — (Photo by: NBCUniversal) The time has arrived for you to put on your apron and turn up the heat because NBC presents Yes, Chef! as its fresh cooking competition. The competition offers more than standard kitchen battles because contestants face quick-paced challenges that help them develop their culinary skills and personal abilities. Yes, Chef! stands out because of what? It’s all about the contestants. These are talented chefs with big personalities, chosen by people who know them best. They are passionate, fiery, and perhaps a bit stubborn, but they are entering the kitchen to grow as chefs and as team members. Guiding them on this intense journey are two culinary icons, José Andrés and Martha Stewart, who bring their expertise, charm, and no-nonsense mentoring to the table. Brought to life by the creators of Top Chef, this series goes beyond just cooking.
