Production

Development

In June 2018, ABC acquired the rights to the Australian cooking reality competition television series Family Food Fight and ordered 8 episodes. Cookbook author and food personality Ayesha Curry serves as both host and one of the judges, and executive produces alongside Robert Flutie, Shab Azma, DJ Nurre, Georgie Hurford-Jones, Faye Stapleton and Michael O'Sullivan. The series is produced by Endemol Shine North America and Yardie Girl Productions. It features eight American families facing off in high-pressure cooking challenges inspired by real home cooking and family food traditions to determine which is the country's top food family and win a grand prize of $100,000. Open casting calls were held in July in Los Angeles, California, and in August in Chicago, Illinois and New York, New York. Online video submissions were also accepted. In October 2018, Cat Cora and Graham Elliot were announced as judges alongside Curry.

Filming

Production began at the end of October in Los Angeles.
