The first three seasons were filmed at the Star Hill Ranch in Austin, Texas, [3] [1] while the fourth season was filmed at Long Branchs Saloon & Farms Half Moon Bay, California. [7] [5]
The first season aired from August 1 to August 22, 2019; [6] and it was presented by chefs Bobby Flay and Michael Symon. Chefs Moe Cason, Chris Lilly and Amy Mills served as judges. [1] It began with eight barbecue chefs in the pilot episode, who were then divided into two teams that were each headed by Flay and Symon. At the end of each episode, one chef from each team was eliminated. The winner in the season finale was awarded the title "Master of 'Cue", which was in turn the name of their subsequent series on FoodNetwork.com. [8]
The second season added chef and former football player Eddie Jackson as a host alongside Flay and Symon. Chefs Rodney Scott and Brooke Williamson were added in as the new judges along with television personality Carson Kressley. [9] It aired from June 14 to August 9, 2021. [10]
The third season consisting of eight episodes brought in chefs Jet Tila and Anne Burrell as new hosts, serving as mentors alongside Flay. It aired from May 9 [11] to June 27, 2022. [12]
In April 2023 Symon revealed that the show was filming a fourth season, but he would not be returning. [13] In June 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it would premiere on July 10, 2023 with a 90-minute special episode and Sunny Anderson would serve as a mentor alongside Flay and Burrell. [7]
In September 2023, Food Network renewed the show for a fifth season which premiered on July 8, 2024. [14] [15] The show returned to Texas for the fifth season, with Michael Voltaggio serving as a mentor alongside Flay and Anderson. [16]
