Martha Stewart and José Andrés Stir Up Fun in New Cooking Competition “Yes, Chef”
Get ready to spice up your evenings! Martha Stewart and culinary genius José Andrés are teaming up as cohosts for NBC’s exciting new cooking competition, “Yes, Chef,” set to premiere on April 28. This show promises to serve up a delightful mix of culinary flair and personality drama, as 12 chefs—nominated by their peers and loved ones—battle it out for a $250,000 cash prize.
Stewart, the queen of all things fabulous and culinary, has described her collaboration with Andrés as an “interesting adventure.” Known for his playful antics—like spotting imaginary raccoons and hiding rubber duckies on set—Andrés adds an element of whimsy to the proceedings, ensuring that the atmosphere remains lively rather than stiff. “It’s always a lively and interesting adventure,” Stewart quipped, highlighting the dynamic they share.
The duo is currently filming in Toronto, where they’ve turned their downtime into a culinary retreat of sorts, indulging in card games, dart throwing, and cooking together. Andrés humorously noted, “We’ve been going out to dinner, she’s been coming and partying in my home for dinner, we cook together.” It seems the camaraderie extends beyond the camera, making for a delightful behind-the-scenes narrative that fans are sure to adore.
As the chefs face off, they will also have to navigate their own egos and tempers, with Stewart and Andrés stepping in as mentors. Their goal? To help contestants become the best versions of themselves while whipping up culinary masterpieces. In an era where food competitions are a staple of reality TV—think “Top Chef,” “MasterChef,” and “Chopped”—”Yes, Chef” promises to carve out its niche by blending mentorship and competition with the charming personalities of its hosts.
Tune in on April 28 at 10 p.m. following “The Voice,” and prepare for an entertaining hour that combines culinary creativity with the kind of humor only Stewart and Andrés can deliver. With both hosts bringing not only their culinary expertise but also their vivacious personalities, “Yes, Chef” is set to be a must-watch for foodies and fans of reality television alike.
