THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST CULINARY COMPETITION KICKS OFF ON THE SEASON TWO PREMIERE OF NEXT LEVEL CHEF SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12, AFTER SUPER BOWL LVII ON FOX

The epic one-of-a-kind culinary gauntlet returns to its iconic stage. 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 match the environment, because Gordon 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! Joined by two elite names in the food world, chefs Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais, Ramsay and his co-mentors leave no stone unturned, as they've scoured the country and hand-picked the best home cooks, social media chefs and professional chefs who will be on each of their teams. With a one-year mentorship and $250,000 on the line, the steaks are high as the cooks look to make their first impressions in their respective teams. Who will make the most impressive next level dish and who will not make the cut in the all-new "Premiere" season premiere episode of Next Level Chef airing Sunday, Feb. 12 (10:30 PM-Midnight ET/9:30-11:00 PM CT/8:30-10:00 PM MT/7:30-9:00 PM PT LIVE to all time zones) after Super Bowl LVII on FOX.
