Crime Scene Kitchen is an American reality television series that premiered on Fox on May 26, 2021. The series is hosted by Joel McHale with Yolanda Gampp and Curtis Stone serving as judges.
In May 2022, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered in June 2023. In March 2024, the series was renewed for a third season, which will premiere on September 26, 2024. [1] [2]
In each episode, teams of two bakers are tasked with deducing the type of dessert that was prepared in a kitchen by inspecting the state of its tools, food remnants, and other evidence such as written clues. They are then asked to re-create the desserts identified, from scratch. The judges evaluate each team's dish based first on accuracy in re-creation, while overall quality is considered as a secondary factor.
Each episode consists of two rounds. In the first season, the first round is the "Dessert Round" in which the winners receive an extra hint during the second round. In the second season, the first round is the "Safety Bake" in which the winners are exempt from the second round and safe from elimination. The second round is known as the "Showpiece Round" in season one and the "Elimination Bake" in season two. The worst-performing team in the second round is eliminated from the competition.
Each season features twelve teams, initially divided into two groups of six. In the second season, the groupings were based on the bakers' backgrounds, pitting self-taught bakers against those who are classically trained. Each of the first six episodes of each season features only one group, alternating until three teams have been eliminated from each group. Thereafter, all remaining teams compete simultaneously. Thus, no more than six teams compete at once.
On April 7, 2021, it was announced that Fox had ordered Crime Scene Kitchen, with Joel McHale as host, who also serves as an executive producer. Yolanda Gampp and Curtis Stone serve as judges for the series. [3] [4] [5] The series premiered on May 26, 2021. [6] [7]
