With humor and tough love, José and Martha will guide the chefs each week through a series of intense culinary challenges. They are designed to test and overcome their personal issues. In this competition, the chefs will have to prove they have the culinary chops and the right attitude to make it to the end, and should be sure to expect twists and surprises along the way.

Each episode features challenges designed to test each chef’s culinary chops as well as leadership skills.
