Production
On August 21, 2020, South Korean entertainment company Mystic Story announced a new pilot called Crazy Noodle Recipe () directed by Yoo Woon-hyuk and airing on MBC. The show starred Kim Jong-kook, Haha, Seo Jang-hoon, Sung Si-kyung and Ham Yeon-ji. The format of the show consisted of the cast visiting people who claimed to have a unique ramen recipe, watching them cook, then eating and judging their recipe. If the cast unanimously approves the dish, the contestant is awarded $1000 USD to help further develop their recipe. The show was broadcast in two parts by MBC as a Chuseok special on September 29 and 30 with favourable support from the viewers.
On December 28, 2020, MBC confirmed that the show was approved for regular broadcasting but would go through a format overhaul. The show was renamed to Crazy Recipe Adventure () and the format was changed to a cooking contest with a different food theme each episode. The original cast would also return with the exception of Ham Yeon-ji. The first episode aired on January 15, 2021.
The show was cancelled by MBC in May 2021 due to poor viewer ratings. The final episode aired on June 4, 2021.
