Yes, Chef! is a cooking competition series that puts professional chefs through rotating challenges that test their skills in the kitchen ... and bring their personal problems to the forefront.

That's where co-hosts and judges Martha Stewart and José Andrés come in as they help temper and guide these chefs with humor and tough love every week to crown the MVC (Most Valuable Chef).
