Next Level Chef

Eight social media chefs kick off the competition.

The auditions continue with the next group to show off their culinary skills -- the home cooks.

It's the final round of auditions, where eight professional chefs must impress the judges in order to advance to the next stage.

The 15 chefs who qualified for the draft are matched with their mentors and are given their first team challenge; each chef must create an incredible Italian dish.

The chefs battle it out to make the best barbecue feast; in the elimination round, two chefs go head-to-head and make an elevated dish using cauliflower.

The mentors challenge the chefs to make the most impressive ramen dish while reaching from a fast moving platform that moves up and down each level throughout the entire challenge.

The chefs work together to create a cohesive five-course meal, with the help of a few surprise sous chefs; to succeed in this challenge, the chefs must count on one another's culinary and communication skills.

The remaining chefs are tasked with oven roasting, steaming or deep frying.

For the first time in the competition, the chefs are no longer working on teams and must survive the next cooking challenge on their own.

The remaining chefs are tasked with cooking Cajun dishes that blend southern flare with French influence; the chef who creates the best dish receives a coveted time token that gives them a major advantage in the next challenge.

The chefs experiment with Spanish cuisine, starting with tapas and a mid-round platform drop resulting in a classic pairing; in the elimination round, three chefs carry on their Spanish preparations, serving up vibrant plates of paella.

The final six chefs must cook protein with the bone in, which is no small feat in the essence of time; two chefs fight to the finish in the elimination round, where they are presented with a formation of fish to choose from.

The five remaining chefs are tasked with putting a twist on a classic: recreating Gordon Ramsay's signature beef Wellington without beef; two chefs are safe from elimination, while the remaining three chefs battle it out one last time.

The final three chefs have made it to the final round of the competition and have proven that they have what it takes to claim the title of Next Level Chef champion. But first, they must create an outstanding three-course meal in just 90 minutes.
