Tension and Sparks at Nul in Chief: He Couldn’t Care Less

I found the guys were really going all out

Arnaud Soly and Jonh Mike (Jean-Michel Leblond) are teaming up for a brand-new TV project titled Nul en chef, serving as hosts. A show where celebrities and public figures dive into cooking… even though many of them clearly aren’t the most seasoned chefs. The concept leans on their sometimes dubious talents in the kitchen, producing moments that are savory, unpredictable, and genuinely entertaining.

Besides, the show’s production on Noovo certainly doesn’t pick the quietest celebrities. All of them bring a razor-sharp sense of humor, which results in plenty of intensity, playful chaos, and good-natured goofiness that they fully own.

This week featured six new stars: Pascale Renaud-Hébert, Anne-Élisabeth Bossé, Matthieu Pepper, Jean-Thomas Jobin, Danick Martineau, and Réal Béland.

Indeed, the latest episode turned the kitchen into pure mayhem. We even got spicy commentary from Matthieu Pepper and Jean-Thomas Jobin about how Chef John Mike and Arnaud Soly were handling them.

Their reactions, hovering somewhere between humorous griping and self-aware exaggeration, added another layer of comedy to the surrounding chaos.

When Pepper tried to figure out which part of the rib rack was in front of him, John Mike simply replied, “They’re all of it.”

“So that’s what we’re eating? … Ouch, don’t move, don’t help me, stay in your lanes, guys,” Matthieu teased the two judges.

“I thought the guys were really going all out, for two guys who don’t have much going on in their day,” he quipped, with humor—and a touch of truth.

Jean-Thomas had plenty to complain about as well!

Indeed, Jean-Thomas, who found himself staring at a bone-filled fish, tended to call for help from Chef John Mike several times, but no one came, which slightly frustrated him.

“John Mike will help those who aren’t too bad, but he can’t be bothered to help me and I’m the worst,” Jobin grumbled this time… a forced, sour-smiled grin spreading across his lips.

Apart from the petty squabbling, let’s remember this is a lighthearted competition: they’re all playing nice, even as they add a bit of spice to the show.
