The Next Great American Chefs are selected by panels of expert judges, including acclaimed professionals, and locals from each city. Each episode will include the featured chef's backstory, food philosophy, and creative approach.

The audience for this podcast includes those who are passionate about food and travel, as well as those who want to learn about new chefs and new restaurants not only in their city, but in the cities they may be planning to visit.
