According to Eater, this isn't Ludo Lefebvre's first TV cooking competition gig. He was previously a judge on ABC's "The Taste" along with fellow chefs Marcus Samuelsson, Nigella Lawson, and the late, great Anthony Bourdain.

Sadly, the show never really took off. Per The Hollywood Reporter, "The Taste" struggled to pull in any fans from the get-go. It was canceled after Season 3 managed to score only 3.6 million viewers. As THR notes, except for Gordon Ramsay's stable of shows on Fox, US networks have struggled with whipping up a successful culinary concoction to date.

Hopefully, "Rat in the Kitchen" will fare better for TBS. The CEO of Thinkfactory certainly believes it's a sure-fire hit. "Episodes will have viewers laughing, drooling over enticing dishes and cringing at the chefs' glorious failures — all while obsessing over finding the 'rat,'" Adam Reed said in a show press release.
