Gordon Ramsay makes epic TV return in new competition show Next Level Chef with Gino D’Acampo
GORDON Ramsay is to make an epic TV return in a new competition show called Next Level Chef with Gino D’Acampo.
The chef will be joined by his good pal and fellow chef Gino on the US show, billed as the next evolution in cooking competitions.
For the FOX show, Gordon has designed a one-of-a-kind culinary gauntlet set over three stories high, with each floor containing a stunningly different kitchen.
From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients will match the environment, because Gordon 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.
With a level playing field, Gordon has opened up the competition and scoured the US for the very best line cooks, home chefs, social media stars, food truck owners and everything in between.
Whatever their background, all will compete against one another with the goal of finding the food world’s newest superstar.
Gordon will be joined by Gino, 44, and fellow chef Nyesha Arrington as co-mentors, marking Gino's first big foray into US TV.
The trio will leave no stone unturned, as they each recruit a group of the talented chefs and take them under their wings.
Gordon and his friends will attempt to bring out the very best in their cooks, as they all try to find “the one.”
Gordon said: “This is the next evolution in cooking competitions. It’s big and it’s bold, and I can’t wait for people to see it!”

"We couldn’t be happier to bring Gordon, Nyesha and Gino competing together on what is a new and innovative way into a cooking competition series.”
