Season four of Fox’s Next Level Chef has sliced and diced the field down to 15 chefs. The fourth season of Gordon Ramsay’s culinary competition series premiered on February 13, 2025, with talented chefs from different backgrounds competing for a $250,000 grand prize.

The winner also receives a one-year mentorship from Next Level Chefs‘ mentors Ramsay, Nyesha Arrington, and Richard Blais.

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,” reads Fox’s synopsis. “From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients match the environment, because Ramsay believes the true test of great chefs is not only what they can do in the best of circumstances, but what kind of magic they can create in the worst!”
