Ethan Shanfeld NBC promises hot dishes and even hotter tempers in a new cooking competition series “Yes, Chef!,” hosted by Martha Stewart and José Andrés.

The series will see the two Emmy-winning kitchen gurus guiding 12 chefs with ego issues or short fuses through culinary challenges that will put their personal and emotional issues to the test.

The chef who best handles the heat, “impressing with both their food and teamwork while improving their behavior,” will win a $250,000 prize.

From “Top Chef” producers Magical Elves, “Yes, Chef!” will premiere April 28 at 10 p.m. on NBC, following “The Voice.” Per the logline, the show “blends the high-stakes thrill of a cooking competition with the raw emotion of personal transformation as it delves into the powerful personalities attracted to the chaotic culinary lifestyle.” It aims to help naturally talented and highly skilled chefs overcome their worst instincts and reach their full potential. “Yes, Chef!” is executive produced by Casey Kriley, Jo Sharon, Jimmy Fox, Kevin Lee, Doneen Arquines, Paul Storck, Richard Wolffe, Andrés and Stewart.
