The lifestyle maven and famed restaurateur will be co-hosting a new cooking competition series,Yes, Chef,this upcoming spring. The pair will also serve as executive producers on the new NBC series.

The series “will reform hot tempers, egos and attitudes in the heat of the kitchen” and “blend the high-stakes thrill of a cooking competition with the raw emotion of personal transformation as it delves into the powerful personalities attracted to the chaotic culinary lifestyle,” according to the press release.

“These rising stars all have natural talent, but their egos, intensity, stubbornness or short fuses are holding them back from reaching their full potential,” the press release said.
