This show is the worst of cooking. They bill the show that they'll rehabilitate these people but 0 effort into that. Instead they have horrible people just be horrible to each other with no one controlling anything.

The bullies do things that cross the line in cooking competitions like taking all of one ingredient and not even utilizing the ingredient taken. The judges do nothing about repeat offenses and instead criticize other contestants for not adapting. A competition requires rules and decorum. You crossed way over that line multiple times. This is exponentially even more important when you claim your objective is to rehabilitate the contestants.

The worst person is hands down the producer for glorifying bullying and treating those that actually came to better themselves as nothing but fodder for the bullies. You say you wanted to help these people, but all I see is harm. Please stay out of cooking and go back to producing Big Brother.

If you're interested in in-fighting, back stabbing and finger pointing, then this is the show for you.

The basic idea is to get a bunch of chefs who are successful in the kitchen, but not so much in their interpersonal interactions.

A cooking challenge is provided and then...TWIST...they are given a direction by Martha Stewart and José Andrés that guarantees conflict and division.

Considering the amount of anger and division in the world right now, this show is the last thing any of us needs.

José Andrés is such a generous soul with his World Central Kitchen, I can't believe he signed on for this.

Nope. Won't be watching this one.

I thought I would enjoy this show. The premise had a potential: established chefs would work together to get over their biggest setbacks. Plus juried by Jose Andres and Martha Stewart.

Think: Top Chef All Stars sans Padma, but with some ego trips.

What happened was a disaster.

First, the rules of the game were quirky and actually promote weaker performance.

But most importantly, the casting is the problem. Starting with the judges, who don't seem to enjoy their setting and don't control the group or the show itself.

Then there's Katsuji, planted for some vicious reason to make the show more spicy.

Absolutely disgusting character that made me give up on the show after 1st episode.

It's not a good time to make another show fuelled by terrible human flaws.

This is one of the worst "cooking" shows out there. They claim it's taking amazing chef's who are being held back by ego in some way. Yet, they allow a single contestant to screw everyone else over by hoarding ingredients he doesn't even use. Week after week. How is that about the cooking, or working on these chef's issues? Then they judge the contestants on what they make when they are tasked with making specific dishes, which they then CAN'T make because of one guy. This isn't a cooking show. This is clearly a staged "competition" with manufactured drama. If they at least advertised it like that, like shows like Survivor do, I wouldn't mind. But it's almost a bait and switch with the show they advertise and the show you get. But what do you expect for a show produced and hosted by Martha Stewart?

My take with Martha Stewart at the helm as one of the judges, this show takes food television to an entirely new level. Known for her impeccable taste and encyclopedic knowledge of cooking, Martha's presence on the panel adds a refined yet approachable layer of expertise, making every challenge feel like an opportunity for contestants to truly prove themselves.

From the first moment she steps into the judging room, Martha brings an air of authority that commands respect-but also warmth that encourages creativity. Her critiques are insightful and constructive, guiding the chefs to think deeper about technique, presentation, and, of course, flavor. She's not just a judge; she's a mentor, drawing from her decades of experience in the culinary world to inspire the contestants to elevate their dishes to new heights.

What makes Martha's judging style so captivating is her balance between precision and passion. She's quick to recognize both technical perfection and bold, daring flavors-rewarding contestants who take risks but also encouraging them to maintain the high standards she is known for. Whether she's savoring a perfectly executed dish or offering candid feedback on a missed opportunity, her approach is always both educational and motivating.

The competition itself is fierce, with chefs from across the country bringing their best culinary game to the table. However, it's Martha's discerning eye and thoughtful critiques that make the stakes feel even higher. As a viewer, you're not just watching a contest-you're getting a front-row seat to the process of culinary refinement, as Martha steers the competition toward excellence with every bite.

The set is sleek, the challenges are thrilling, and the contestants are at the top of their game, but it's Martha's role as a judge that truly makes Yes, Chef! A standout. She brings a level of sophistication and grace that makes each episode an absolute must-watch. Whether you're a budding home cook or a seasoned pro, Martha's wisdom and expertise are a masterclass in what it truly means to be a chef.

I knew I wasn't gonna like this when I first saw the previews. Someone threw a plate or whatever it was on the floor out of anger, and that was all I needed to know to form a conclusion. I am so sick and tired of people being nasty and tearing each other down. Don't we get enough of that every day as it is? Folks are often impatient and unstable: blowing their horn like a madman/woman the second a light turns green, driving up real fast next to you and hanging by your back bumper to block the lane and prevent you from getting over, pushing and shoving in the stores. And then you have toxic, opinionated coworkers. So why do we need to watch people acting rude on TV. Even from the previews, I could tell the premise of this show was different from other culinary competitions. The focus is more or less on the contestants' personality issues, and not so much on their lack of cooking skills. Volunteering to go on here wasn't the answer to resolving their short fuse, because all they're doing is embarrassing themselves in front of the whole country. I do think it would have potential, if the format wasn't cutthroat, you know? I don't understand why it has to be so mafia-like. It's one thing for the judges to choose people to send home, but then you also give the cooks the ability to eliminate their fellow competitors. That's just dirty, and I fail to see how it adds any value. Depending on who they send home, it comes off like they have some kind of vendetta, and not because what they cooked didn't have enough salt, or whatever phony reason they give. A show like this is doing nothing to encourage people to work together, and that's the last thing we need in today's climate.

I loved getting to know more chefs in the industry and seeing them grow over the course of 10 weeks. The top 3 really transformed themselves and that was evident when their nominators returned in the final episode. The chefs were strong and the friendship between Martha Stewart and Chef Andres was endearing. Martha had no filter and was very honest and while Chef Andres was honest, he was probably more diplomatic in his interactions. I quite enjoyed it. Katsuji is crazy but entertaining on Top Chef. Him taking all of the eggs for spite was absolutely ridiculous but he left mysteriously anyway. I found the low 4.4 rating of the show quite surprising and totally disagree.

Somehow I managed to get through 2 episodes of Yes, Chef! I should have stopped at one. I gave it a chance because I think José Andrés is a wonderful person. It is nothing more than an angry, backstabbing, poorly conceptualized mess. If this is the future of cooking competitions, then it's probably best that they just fade away. I found Katsuji to be one of the most annoying contestants on both seasons of Top Chef and he is more over the top and arrogant on this show. Who invited him, again? I just hope that the money that is made from this bizarre schoolyard bully driven nonsense goes to José Andrés many charities. Also, Martha Stewart seems incredibly bored. I may skip to the end episode though, just to see if it ends like The Menu.

Are we watching a cooking competition show, which could inspire us making good food? Or are we watching a bunch so-called "best chefs" who need anger management help? The show doesn't care about making good food, it's about who is the least annoying person so they can survive for another week, even their food suck.

All the contestants looked miserable, upset, and angry. I know this is what this show all about, but do I really want to watch a bunch of angry people attacking each others after a long working day?

This show was trying to be clever and special, it didn't fail completely, at least they achieve one thing... "specially bad".

Oh, and the hosts were not good either...

Shame...

I love looking competition shows and so manynof then make me turn off the television. This is one.

The rules are completely asanine and I don't understand how no one saw this.

In a competition you should have an opportunity to control your fate but in this show you don't. The person from the team who wins who may or may not have the best dish has to cook again from someone they choose. That's not the oldest part of the person they choose wins they can send ANY contestant home. So you an excellent cook can go home with no hope of saving themselves.

That is not COOKING COMPETITION that is who shouldn't I piss off. This is a waste of time if you want to root for a chef because they may just be gone!

This show is incredibly difficult to watch, all because of the focus on the unsportsmanlik conduct of "Chef" Katsuji. He screams insecurity and has to make others feel small, or literally cheat, to "win." They continuously focus on his antics and it severely distracts from the actual cooking competition.

Which, that's another thing, is this an actual cooking competition or just some random drama factory? There's no one here to root for, as all of these "Chefs" come off as extremely flawed individuals with absolutely no redeeming qualities.

I definitely would recommend skipping this "competition" unless you're a glutton for manufactured drama.

I've been watching cooking competitions for 25 years. I have witnessed brilliance, artistry and creativity that is off the charts. Then there is "Yes Chef!". I eagerly watched the first offering and was immediately repulsed by the reemergence of Katsuji. And then I saw a few other cheftestants that were identified as "hard to work with" and realized the emerging theme: Annoyance...that we are paying into with our time and attention.

So I gave it two episodes to cement my emergent feelings.

By the middle of the 2nd, I was asking myself aloud why I would want to put myself through this any longer. (Spoiler alert: I don't).

To see what the producers do behind closed doors in planning the next cooking show, one needs only but begin with a good cooking competition like say, Top Chef. Then ask yourself: What will give us what we really want (emotional response).

Then over-analyze it with focus groups to hone in on the absolute MOST annoying parts of the occasional chefs' ego and sociopathy. Build a show with one media personality and a world-class chef and humanitarian as leads and put the word out that you need culinary star wannabes who don't work well with others.

Stress them. Turn one against another (it's not that hard a task).

Broadcast. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Crap.

Supposedly this is a competition about established chefs, but their downfall is attitude, to which they're to work on through the series.

This show is unwatchable because of one contestant.

He's rude, childish, and I fail to see why he's booked on anything.

He is an embarrassment to the entire Japanese culture with his deplorable lack of character.

I begrudgingly made it through three episodes, as I always allow three strikes till your out.

A couple chefs confess their irritations and attempts to be mindful, but the ones who make more excuses than solutions is the demise of what I'm sure to be the first and last season of this disaster.

I feel so sorry for Chef Jose wasting his time and empathy around these jerks.
