It's great to see Top Chef alum Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais as mentor/judges on Fox's #NextLevelChef, but the show is such a missed opportunity. It has a spectacular set with three different kitchens—and no creativity in its use of that space. realityblurred.com/realitytv/2022…
The teams of contestants are just randomly assigned to a level. That is completely pointless. Why not start them all in the middle, and move them up or down based on their performance, and then only eliminate people from the lower kitchen?
Or why not give the #NextLevelChef team in the best kitchen the worst ingredients, and vice versa? Basically, move the platform from bottom to top, asking the chefs with the worst equipment to work with the best produce, and give the scraps to the people with the best tools?
Maybe #NextLevelChef will eventually do some of this, or something better! But all the available episode descriptions from Fox say "Each team is randomly assigned to a kitchen" so I don't expect this to be next-level (HA) at all. Here's my full review:
