Martha Stewart and José Andrés star as hosts in “The most explosive cooking show you’ve never seen,” teased a recent NBC YouTube promo. This new reality competition series invites 12 chefs — all of whom were nominated by friends, family, and/or coworkers — to test their cooking skills in various head-to-head challenges.

Yes, Chef!” is a new cooking competition series premiering Monday, where Martha Stewart and chef José Andrés will find a chef worth the $250,000 prize while helping all the chefs deal with personality traits that might be holding them back.

Twelve talented chefs nominated by co-workers and loved ones for their tempers, stubbornness and egos enter the kitchen to work on themselves and their food in a new cooking series.
