NBC serves up a new cooking competition this Monday with “Yes, Chef!,” and if the title “Control Freaks” is any indication, things in the kitchen are about to get heated. Twelve highly skilled chefs – each with an ego, temper, or intensity that could melt butter – enter a high-stakes culinary arena where collaboration is key.
The first challenge? Working in teams to produce a four-course meal worthy of impressing the judges. Forget delicate plating and subtle flavors; this is about managing personalities as much as mastering recipes. The culinary world attracts strong personalities, and “Yes, Chef!” turns its lens on that very dynamic.
Who can handle the pressure? Who will crack under the strain of teamwork? And most importantly, who can deliver dishes that are as impressive as their (hopefully improved) behavior? With a $250,000 prize supplied by Purely Elizabeth granola on the line, the stakes are high. “Yes, Chef!” premieres Monday, April 28 at 10:00 PM ET on NBC.
