t all comes down to this. “Next Level Chef “Season 4 is about to crown its newest champ, and you’re gonna want front-row seats (or at least a comfy couch and snacks). After weeks of cooking in that wild three-level kitchen and taking orders from Gordon Ramsay, Nyesha Arrington, and Richard Blais, only three chefs are left standing. The knives are sharp, the tension’s real, and the finale is set to be intense.
Going Into the Finale
Let’s talk about the semifinals, because “Always Crust Your Instincts” was a wild one. The final five were hit with a seriously chaotic challenge: recreate Gordon Ramsay’s iconic Beef Wellington… without the beef. Yep, in just 35 minutes. Cue the spiraling.
Things got spicy fast when Brandon used his time token to knock 10 seconds off Beatrice’s platform grab (rude), but she didn’t flinch; telling the camera she’d still “kick his a–.” Spoiler: she did. Her salmon Wellington was called “elegant” and “vibrant,” securing her a direct ticket to the finale alongside Austin, whose veal version was basically flawless.
That left Megan, Brandon, and Bobby to duke it out one last time with a 25-minute Michelin-worthy dish. Megan delivered a perfectly cooked filet mignon, earning praise from both Blais and Arrington. Meanwhile, Bobby and Brandon had strong showings, but not enough to edge her out.
So now, it’s official: Beatrice, Austin, and Megan are your final three. Brandon and Bobby packed their knives, and Team Arrington is officially out of the game. The finale’s set, the mentors are fired up, and if this last round was any clue, the finale is going to be next-level intense.
What The Fans Think
The “Next Level Chef” Instagram page released a photo promoting the finale with a shot of Austin cooking and a huge banner saying “TOMORROW,” and fans had a lot to say. One person commented, “I low-key think Austin got it 🫶🏼 but rooting for Beatrice,” while another simply said, “🔥🔥 let’s go #teamblais” to show who they were rooting for.
On the other side of things, one person on Reddit wasn’t shy about saying what they think.
Predicting Who Will Win
It’s honestly anyone’s game at this point. Beatrice brings the finesse, Austin brings the creativity, and Megan brings the quiet intensity. And with a final challenge that promises to push them to the edge (mentally, emotionally, and culinarily) it’s going to be one heck of a finish.
FoxPersonal Prediction: I think Austin is going to take the win. He’s a master at balancing boldness with elegance and remained consistent in pushing the limits of what’s expected. He’s a total pro, from handling high-pressure moments with ease to bringing out his culinary creativity in every round.
Where to Watch the Madness Go Down
This season’s been packed with curveballs, chaotic pantry grabs, and some serious flavor bombs. And now? We’re down to the final showdown. One winner. One massive cash prize. And one epic mentorship that could launch a whole career.
The finale airs on Fox tomorrow; Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 8:00 PM ET, but if you’re not able to watch then, no worries; “Next Level Chef” drops on Hulu the next day. You can also stream it live with YouTube TV, FuboTV, or Sling TV. Basically, if you’ve got Wi-Fi and a craving for high-stakes cooking, you’re covered.
So grab your snacks, silence your phone, and brace yourself. Because someone’s about to level up in a major way and we can’t wait to see who takes the win.
