When you’re a professional chef, every second counts — every measurement and every move must be calculated. The same can be said for the Yes, Chef! kitchen. Only the stakes are that much higher when billionaire mogul Martha Stewart and humanitarian restaurateur José Andrés are watching… and judging.

The new series, coming to NBC on April 28, will take 12 professional chefs and place them in the “pressure cooker” that is the Yes, Chef! kitchen, where they’re competing to win the $250,000 grand prize.
“These chefs are divas,” Martha says in the first look at footage from the series (below), with her and José going on to promise that if the chefs don’t “get their act together, they’re toast.”
Yes, Chef! combines classic, high-stakes cooking competition rules with the raw emotion of personal transformation as it pits the often-temperamental personalities attracted to the chaotic culinary lifestyle against each other. The 12 chefs — nominated by their bosses, co-workers, friends, and even family — have natural talent, but their egos, intensity, stubbornness, or short fuses are holding them back from reaching their full potential.
That’s where Martha and José come in to kick them into gear with hard truths and humor in equal measure.

“I didn’t know what it would be like working with [José] on something like this, but I thought it would be very interesting,” Martha previously told PEOPLE (per NBC Insider). “And it has turned out to be very interesting, despite the fact that he hears and sees imaginary raccoons everywhere and he has rubber duckies and chickens [that he hides on set]… He likes to play around, which makes it fairly pleasant, because he could be a stiff and he could be so serious that my day would drag on. Not with José, it’s always a lively and interesting adventure. Plus, he has really good things to say on the show.”
