In January 2022, the new cooking reality competition show Next Level Chef aired on Fox, featuring chefs with various experiences facing off against each other in teams, with famous chefs Gordon Ramsey, Nyesha Arrington, and Richard Blais serving as advisors. Kansas-based Stephanie DeSpain, or Pyet, short for her inherited Native American name Pyetwetmokwe, won the first season, taking home the $250,000 and one-year mentorship under all three notable chefs, as her infusion of Indigenous and Mexican flavors stood out among her competitors. The second season of Next Level Chef is underway, and one of the nine remaining chefs looks to follow in Pyet’s footsteps.
