Since then, Nyesha continues to do what she does best, exploring the world through travel, and participating in a number of pop-ups and multi-day food events around the world, she is currently on Next Level Chef UK airing on ITV and is back for the second season of Next Level Chef here in the US on FOX that starts immediately following this year's Super Bowl LVII!
