Zach Laidlaw On Next Level Chef
Next Level Chef is back for season three after two successful seasons. The show premiered on 28 January 2024. Every floor, spanning more than three storeys, boasts a unique kitchen. Gordon Ramsay feels that the real test of great chefs is not only what they can do in the best of circumstances, but what kind of magic they can produce in the worst, the ingredients match the atmosphere, from the sparkling top floor to the demanding bottom of the basement.
Chef Ramsay and his fellow mentors go above and beyond in their search for the best home cooks, social media chefs, and professional chefs to join their teams. They are joined by two of the industry’s most prestigious chefs, Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais.
As the chefs vie to be this season’s Next Level Chef, there’s a lot on the line—a $250,000 prize and a one-year mentoring.
One of the contestants in the competition is Zach Laidlaw. So far, in the premiere of the new season, viewers saw three chefs going home namely Brittany, Brittnee, and Tim. In episode 2, two players exited; Daniel, Joe, and Monika.
Later in episode 3, Jennie, Summer, and Charity get booted from the show. The other contestants who was eliminated is Matt who competed with Chris from Gordon’s team during face-off in the elimination challenge at the end of the 4 episode. In episode 5 Ari was eliminated, followed by Wendy who competed against Richard’s chef Angela in episode 6.
Episode 7 saw the elimination of Alexandra who was in Nyeshia’s team. Her opponent, Jordan takes a bolder approach by serving garlic parmesan wings. Before leaving she says, “I was honestly not expecting to be here as long as I was, so to get this far was a great thing.”
In episode 9, chef Lauren leaves the show after she poached lobster being just “90 seconds” shy of being done.
