MasterChef season 15: theme, judges and everything we know about the Gordon Ramsay series

This summer, MasterChef season 15 is hoping to find the best home cook in America, but there's a twist to double the fun: the theme is Dynamic Duos.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is once again joined by restaurateur Joe Bastianich and James Beard Award nominee Tiffany Derry to judge the ultimate cookoff and crown the winner.

This season, pairs of home chefs — whether it's couples or siblings, friends or parents and children — will compete together. The winner of the competition will take home the title and a $250,000 cash prize.

"Season after season, Gordon Ramsay and his team deliver limitless creativity and always raise the competitive bar, keeping MasterChef among the top cooking shows on television, as we saw again with its impressive performance last summer," Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network, said in a press release.

Here's everything we know about MasterChef season 15.
