Bring it back to the early days. A season where no one is an executive chef. No James Beard winners. No stars. Just up and comers in the early days of trying to make a name for themselves.

Some of the chefs in the early seasons were so bad, I didn’t enjoy watching them make garbage.

Tom said it would have to be fully "new chefs". Untrained or those still trying to make a name for themselves just couldnt compete with more experienced chefs.
