Chef's Table, created by David Gelb, the American film director and co-founder of the production company Supper Club,[1] premiered on April 26, 2015,[2] and is one of the first original Netflix documentary series. The series takes viewers inside both the lives and kitchens of a variety of the world's most acclaimed and successful international chefs,[3] with each episode placing the spotlight on a single chef and exploring the unique lives, talents and passions which influence their style of cooking. The series has been nominated for and awarded a variety of awards, including 8 Emmy nominations,[4] and was renewed for a seventh and eighth season on May 20, 2019.[5]

Background

Each episode of the series focuses on a specific chef, and explores their personal philosophies and approach to cooking.[6] Creator David Gelb considers it a follow-up to his documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Both documentaries make use of cinematography and production techniques based on traditional filmmaking rather than reality television.[7]

Reception

The series has been well received since it aired in 2015 and has been praised for its cinematography, score, and production.[6][9]

Chef's Table has been parodied numerous times. Gods of Food, which satirizes Chef's Table and the restaurant industry, was produced by the YouTube comedy channel CollegeHumor.[10] The IFC series Portlandia parodied the series in an episode about an airport sushi chef.[11]
