The stakes are starting to become real for the brilliant but troubled chefs competing week-to-week on Yes, Chef!
Yes, Chef! is a cooking competition series that puts highly skilled chefs through the ultimate test. These rising stars all have natural talent, but their egos, intensity, stubbornness, or short fuses are holding them back from reaching their full potential.
Enter co-hosts, judges, and executive producers Martha Stewart and José Andrés, who guide the chefs through culinary challenges designed to test (and, perhaps more importantly) overcome their personal issues.

Chef Torrece Gregoire, aka “Chef T,” of Bristol, Virginia, was eliminated at the end of Episode 2.
“This industry is so daunting,” Chef T said when asked about the show’s impact on her. “It’s usually about the negative reviews or that negative thing that happened and now there’s just…a different perspective. Some things will happen, but it’s not the end of the world… How can I pick up those pieces and turn it around to be something more positive and more productive? Because there’s always people that’s going to try to harm you.”
