As per the trailer, the competition series seems to be quite intense. The concept of Next Level Chef includes dividing participants into three categories: home chefs, social media chefs, and professional chefs.

Steele will be teamed up with the latter group, including four more contestants — Mariah Scott, Reuel Vincent, Zachary Adams, and Kenny Everett.

The remaining chefs include Roice Bethel, Amber Rebold, Devonnie Black, Jonathan Harrison, Gary Marandola, Ae Southammavong, Stephanie “Pyet” Despain, Angie Ragan, Courtney Brown, and Tricia Wang.

Next Level Chef will be mentored by culinary experts Richard Blais and Ayesha Arrington alongside Ramsay.

The official synopsis reads:

“NEXT LEVEL CHEF is the next evolution in cooking competitions, as Ramsay has designed a one-of-a-kind culinary gauntlet, set on an iconic stage like you've never seen. Over three stories high, each floor contains a stunningly different kitchen. From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients will match the environment.”

Next Level Chef is set to premiere Sunday, January 2, 2022, on FOX.
