Chef's Table
"Chef's Table"
Netflix

In 2011, David Gelb released a documentary film entitled “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,” which follows Jiro Ono, an 85-year-old sushi master and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a Michelin three-star restaurant, on his continuing quest to perfect the art of sushi. Located in a Tokyo subway station, Sukiyabashi Jiro is a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant and Ono serves a tasting menu of roughly 20 courses. The film received widespread critical acclaim and enraptured foodies and cinephiles alike. As a follow-up to “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,” Gelb created the Netflix documentary series “Chef’s Table,” with each episode profiling a single world-renowned chef. The first season covered chefs from the United States, Italy, Argentina, Australia, and Sweden; the second season traveled to Brazil, Mexico, Slovenia, and Thailand. Now, the upcoming third season will profile all French chefs. Watch the trailer below.
