Richard Blais joined the mentoring panel alongside Gordon Ramsay and Nyesha Arrington, replacing Gino D'Acampo who had originally been attached to the project.

Fox ordered the series on May 17, 2021, with Gordon Ramsay serving both as a mentor and executive producer.

The first two seasons were filmed on a purpose-built set in Las Vegas constructed inside an industrial tent, featuring three stacked kitchens where equipment like burners, ranges, and generators all ran on gas.

Starting with the third season, production moved from Las Vegas to Ashford Studios in County Wicklow, Ireland.

The second season premiered on February 12, 2023 as the lead-out program immediately following Super Bowl LVII.

Season 3 introduced a unique challenge where the ingredient platform did not stay stationary for the top and middle kitchens, moving up and down multiple times so only basement contestants had a fixed window to grab ingredients while others had to catch items on the fly.

In season 4, judges cooked on the show for the first time, preparing desserts to accompany the contestants' appetizers and main courses during a team challenge.

A British version aired on ITV starting January 11, 2023, with Gordon Ramsay and Nyesha Arrington joined by Paul Ainsworth, and was won by social media chef Jade Greenhalgh before being cancelled after just one season.
