Results on ‘Next Level Chef’
It’s Amber from Team Ramsay and Tim from Team Blais facing off in the Elimination Cook-Off Challenge. The chefs will now use those ingredients that kids don’t like to eat, like broccoli or fish. They will need to transform those ingredients into a dish the kids won’t be able to resist. They have 25 minutes to cook their dishes. The time runs out and the plates are finished, so time for tasting:
- Amber – Mid-rare bird, which is how you want to cook it. Everything together is a little lacking, wanted more effort on the sauce.
- Tim – The coating on the fried squab is delicious. It doesn’t taste like squab, it tastes like a fried chicken.
Results – Both Richard and Gordon vote to eliminate Tim’s dish, which means he has been eliminated tonight on “Next Level Chef” 2026.

What do you think of the results tonight?
