You can watch the series exclusively on Netflix.
What is Chef's Table about?
Chef's Table is a Netflix series that explores the lives of the most talented cooks in the world, how they launched their careers and created delicious new dishes.
Created by David Gelb, the series began as a follow-up to the Japanese language documentary film Jiro Dreams of Sushi which follows the sushi master Jiro Ono. Gelb also directed The Lazarus Effect – although we don't consider this half as good as Chef's Table – and co-founded the production company Supper Club.
Unlike other cookery shows (*cough* Hell's Kitchen) there's no risk that this series will leave a bad taste in your mouth. Decidedly mature and sophisticated, Chef's Table sacrifices comedy for the graceful work of the best chefs in the world, and their remarkable stories of aspiration and success in cuisine.

The most recent season, the sixth, hosted Mashama Bailey, Dario Cecchini, Asma Khan and Sean Brock.
Interestingly, there hasn't been a single Brit on the series. There's no word yet on whether that's because everyone's had enough of rude British celebrity chefs. No offence, Gordon Ramsay.
