“We want to continue to support the best in non-fiction storytelling. While some stories are best told as feature length films, others, like ‘Chef’s Table,’ greatly benefit from being able to communicate their story in a multi-episodic fashion. We’re fortunate to have the flexibility to match the story with the best format,” said Lisa Nishimura, Vice President, Original Documentary and Comedy at Netflix, at TIFF’s Doc Conference.

Per Netflix’s synopsis:

“Chef’s Table” features six of the world’s most renowned international chefs, and offers viewers the opportunity to go inside the lives and kitchens of these culinary talents.  The chefs featured include Ben Shewry (Attica Restaurant in Melbourne,  Australia), Magnus Nilsson (Fäviken in Järpen Sweden), Francis Mallmann (El Restaurante Patagonia Sur in Buenos Aires, Argentina), Niki Nakayama (N/Naka Restaurant in Los Angeles, CA, USA), Dan Barber (Blue Hill Restaurant at Stone Barns and in New York City, USA) and Massimo Bottura (Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy).
