Popular reality competition series Next Level Chef Season 2 aired a brand new episode on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 8 pm ET on Fox. It documented the remaining cheftestants participating in a difficult challenge while also managing stress while dealing with difficulties in creating dishes and impressing the judges. They gave it their all to secure their safety and keep moving forward in the competition.
On this week's episode of Next Level Chef, Christopher Spinosa (Chris) forgot to add the beurre blanc sauce to his dish, which was the key ingredient. He forgot it at the last minute and only realized it after putting his final dish on the platform. He was ultimately sent into the elimination round. Fans were worried for the chef. One tweeted:
The hit Fox series has been extremely well-received by the audience. Season 2 of the competition saw the contestants competing in three teams, each led by legendary chefs in the form of mentors - chef Gordon Ramsay, chef Nyesha Arrington, and chef Richard Blais. While some managed to impress, others failed to make their mark.
It's an alcohol-infused challenge this week on Next Level Chef
Tonight's episode of Next Level Chef saw the contestants getting ready for a brand new day after a tough elimination last week. After Cassie Yeung was eliminated in the previous episode, chef Gordon Ramsay's team headed to the basement again this week, chef Nyesha Arrington's team in the middle and chef Richard Blais team in the top floor, all credit to Mehreen who saved herself and the team as well.
The official synopsis of the episode, titled Sugar and Tea and Rum, reads:
"Competitors use skill to cook an alcohol-based dish; one chef is eliminated."
Every episode of Next Level Chef sees the contestants adhering to a particular theme. It it decided by the mentors and can be in the form of cuisine, style or heroing a particular ingredient. The chefs have always been up to any challenge on the theme and it only gets difficult with each passing episode. This week, the chefs had to make an alcohol-infused dish using a protein.
While chef Gordon pledged not to lose a contestant this time after two simultaneous eliminations, chef Richard, who was at the top level with his team, wanted to "bury chef Nyesha and Chef Gordon down there," indicating he wanted his team to win and cook on the top floor all the time.
The Next Level Chef contestants quickly got to cooking. They picked out the best proteins from the elevator as well as complimentary ingredients to add their creativity to the dish. While some were happy with their picks, others wanted more and were left dissatisfied. Proteins include filet mignon, steak, rib-eye, and moonshine, among several others.
Apart from the occasional fire in the kitchen, a few tensed up contestants, and the few mistakes in the dish, everything seemed to go on smoothly in the challenge. The chefs seemed more confident this time of their dishes and enjoyed their cook. Unlike the previous weeks, all of them managed to put their dishes on the platform.
However, Next Level Chef contestant Chris forgot to add his beurre blanc sauce, which was the key ingredient in his dish. The chef realized that he had forgotten it after he put his dish up on the platform and looked back to see the sauce staring right at him. This mistake sent him into the elimination round this week.
