Every Chef That Has Been Eliminated From Season 4 of 'Next Level Chef'

Spoiler alert: This article contains major spoilers for Season 4 of Next Level Chef.

Most of us can agree that Fox's Next Level Chef is food television gold! Aside from having British restaurateur Gordon Ramsay at the helm with Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais who all serve as mentors and judges, the competition series spotlights proficient chefs from across the country.

Interestingly, the competition set consists of various floors with different kitchens that are meant to test the chef's ability to adapt and thrive in undesirable conditions.

Season 4 of the series features chefs ranging from home cooks to notable social media chefs. And since the competition is stiff, folks wonder who could cook for the occasion and who fell flat.

So, who was eliminated from Next Level Chef in Thursday's episode? Everything to know.

Season 4 of Next Level Chef kicked off on Feb. 13, 2025, with social media chef auditions, leading to the elimination of Iléna Tovia, Jake Goldberg, and Keith Garrett in the audition round. Iléna was the first to go, with her salmon arancini failing to impress the judges.

Jake's Mediterranean ground lamb rice with eggplant didn’t make the cut, while Keith’s New York strip with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus also didn’t win over the panel.

If Jake looks familiar, it's because he played teenager Greg Feder in the Adam Sandler hit, Grown Ups, and voiced Pablo in The Backyardigans.

With the elimination of Iléna, Jake, and Keith in Season 4, Episode 1, that leaves Bobby Hicks, Jeff Kim, Mistie Knight, Rebecca "Becca" Guevera, and Megan "Meg" Sheley moving on to the next round of the competition.

Next Level Chef home auditions will air on Feb. 20, 2025, bringing a fresh batch of home cooks eager to compete for a chance to advance in the competition and, potentially, contend for the ultimate prize. Season 4, Episode 2 home chefs will be revealed on or before the episode's debut date.

One thing we can expect this season is the intensity. "This is not a game show, this is their careers ... You can feel that this year," host Richard explained during the first-look clip of Season 4.

Whoever advances through the auditions will be in line to compete in the competition and fight for the top spot, which comes with a one-year mentorship and a $250,000 cash prize. So yeah, we’d say the stakes (steaks?) are pretty high!

The Season 3 victory went to social media chef Gabi Chappel, though home cook Christina Miros and professional chef Zach Laidlaw were named runners-up. It was Gabi's pan-seared scallops, paired with a spiced yogurt sauce, sweet and sour beets with chanterelles, and caviar, that sealed the deal and crowned her the Season 3 champion.

With Season 4 underway, you're probably anxious to know who will get eliminated next and who will ultimately snag the win. Come back for weekly updates and be sure to watch Next Level Chef Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on FOX!
