NBC Greenlights Cooking Competition with José Andrés & Martha Stewart

NBC has greenlit Yes, Chef!, a new cooking competition with José Andrés and Martha Stewart as hosts and executive producers.

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.

Andrés and Stewart will guide the chefs each week through a series of intense culinary challenges designed to test and overcome their personal issues. 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, Andrés and Stewart. Magical Elves and Religion of Sports produce.

The competition series will premiere on April 28 at 10 p.m. on NBC, following The Voice.
