Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach, California. The series premiered on August 23, 2012, immediately following the premiere of The American Bible Challenge. GSN continued to air one new episode a week until November 26, 2012. The show was not seen on GSN after its fourth episode and was canceled in October 2012. Reception Beat the Chefs earned mixed reception from critics. Carrie Grosvenor of About Entertainment argued that Rogers was a good fit for the show as host and called the show "enjoyable," but also claimed that there wasn't "enough of a focus on the food and preparation." Meanwhile, Hollywood Junket praised the series, calling it a "guaranteed winning show" while arguing that it had the potential to become "extremely successful." The series earned relatively average ratings for GSN's standards. Despite The American Bible Challenge debuting to record ratings for GSN, Beat the Chefs maintained less than a third of the viewers that tuned in to its lead-in. The series premiere averaged 521,000 viewers, compared to the 1.73 million viewers who watched The American Bible Challenge. The following week, Beat the Chefs dropped to 357,000 viewers, while its lead-out, a sneak peek of GSN's upcoming revival of Pyramid, earned 443,000 viewers.
