Chef's Table is the first original Netflix documentary series, and premiered on April 26, 2015. The series focuses on specific chefs, exploring their philosophies and approaches to cooking.

Background[]

Each episode of the series focuses on a specific chef, and explores their personal philosophies and approach to cooking.^[2] Creator David Gelb considers it a follow-up to his documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
