NBC’s “Yes, Chef!” turns up the heat this Monday with a twist that puts the contestants in the judge’s seat. In “Chefs Rank,” the 12 rising-star chefs face a new kind of pressure cooker: evaluating each other’s cuisine. While enjoying a family-style meal alongside hosts José Andrés and Martha Stewart, the chefs must sample and rank their competitors’ dishes.
This shift in power brings extra strategy to the competition. Will the chefs focus purely on taste, or will personal rivalries and alliances influence their rankings? Will they target their strongest competitors, hoping to knock them out early, or play it safe, avoiding potential backlash? The decision of who faces the dreaded cook-off rests entirely in their hands.
“Yes, Chef!” isn’t just about culinary skills; it’s about personal growth and teamwork. With a $250,000 grand prize on the line, the chefs must demonstrate not only their mastery in the kitchen but also their ability to handle the behavioral side of the business. This episode explores how they handle the added pressure of judging their peers, a challenge that could make or break their culinary dreams. Tune in to NBC this Monday, May 26th at 10:00 PM ET to see how the chefs handle this unusual test.
