    It's super interesting to see any of the chapters, it's more than just a show about food, its about art and life. Its about the lives of these chefs, what makes them unique, how they are changing cuisine and what being a chef means to them in a very different way.Its beautifully filmed, the plates, the ingredients, all the images you see transport you to their restaurants. Though i was disappointed not to see ONE french chef!!!!! , I mean at least one chapter should be filmed in France!!! It's only my point of view, because I have been there and what they are doing there its like nowhere else. There's definitely french chefs showing a new way to cook french food, and I feel not metion them, it doesn't make sense to me. Its like talking about arts like painting or literature, you have to talk about victor hugo or monet. Let's talk about the french young chefs that are working hard on the field too. In just 2015, from all the chefs with michelin stars in the world, in the top 10, you have 6 french chefs. How can this series not talk about ONE!!!!!!!!!

    When Netflix began releasing titles I never expected them to turn to the streets for commercial venue. By the streets, I mean, are those which we come by naturally, on our everyday lives. Hotels, restaurants, plazas, touristic organizations represent some examples.As it resonated with my cuisine interests, Chef's Table caught my eye as a way to kill an hour and a half.Never have I experienced such emotional development or communicated elation through watching a food review show. It really becomes something much more than simply a show; instead, a reality one can fully connect with, as the people depicted are not actors, but unmasked human beings.

    I liked the format and production values of this Netflix series. Each episode is like getting to know a new friend, who happens to be a culinary genius. The span across the planet is a good idea. It keeps it from feeling too formulaic. The cinematography is excellent and adds a travelogue quality. And, I even liked most of the subjects.Like the overpriced eating experiences in these restaurants, the series felt like a guilty pleasure. As long as I focused on the artistic aspect of the episodes, I could forget about the insanity of gourmet meals on an ecologically challenged and overpopulated planet where only 10% of the population can afford to eat like this. Niki Nakayama is my favorite chef of the bunch. Ben Shewry's restaurant was my favorite setting. Magnus Nilsson gets my award for the most personable chef.I hope Netflix has the wisdom to continue this series. Moving away from Michelin and more toward sustainable food genius would be a plus in my book.

    I am just loving this. I always had a different perspective about those having top restaurants in the world. They do live in luxury and just enjoy opening their new branches around but my image was totally ridiculous after seeing this documentary it is not only about culinary journey it is about how determination and hard work produces sth extraordinary. Creation, invention and doing sth completely denovo every time a high degree of pressure and stress as well. I only was hoping to see also a very very short instruction of one of those remarkably astonishing foods at the end but anyway this is absolutely recommended to watch to all ages. I was crying my eyes out how we never realized we could look at messed up things in another way.
