About Gordon Ramsay's success

Gordon owns 12 bars and restaurants in London alone.

They include a posh eatery in the Savoy Hotel, plus venues in Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea – the latter of which has held three Michelin stars since 2001.

Outside of England, Gordon owns or has owned restaurants in Scotland, Dubai, the US, France, Japan, Canada, Ireland, Qatar, Australia, Italy, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Czech Republic and South Africa.

What the winner gets

Ultimately, there can only be one winner of Next Level Chef.

The winner will receive a life-changing cash prize of $250,000.

On top of the cash, the champion gets a one-year mentorship from all three mentors which will help make their culinary dreams a reality.

'First of its kind'

Chef Nyesha Arrington told The Root that she decided to join the show because of the mentorship and prize included.

“Cooking competitions are high pressure and intense on their own, but to add the level of mentorship behind it, and also a very nice cash prize to fuel their culinary dreams is incredible,” she told the outlet.

“That’s absolutely what drew me to wanting to be a part of this.

I get to watch the progress of these amazing creators throughout the cooking competition.

"They grow outside of the show as well, so it’s kind of like the first of its kind.”

Gordon and Richard in the kitchen

Richard Blais and Gordon Ramsay shared a video after the show with tips and tricks of their own.

The two cooked a Mexican-inspired breakfast with a classic ranchero sauce.

Ramsay (@GordonRamsay) tweeted: "Thx so much for watching @NextLevelFOX ! If you want to learn some tips to cook a Mexican Inspired breakfast with me & @RichardBlais watch #NextLevelKitchen now."
