Chef's Table is an American documentary series created by David Gelb^[2], which premiered on video streaming service Netflix on April 26, 2015.^[3] The series shows the lives and kitchens of acclaimed and successful international chefs, with each episode focusing on a single chef. The series has been nominated for and awarded awards, including eight Emmy nominations.^[4] Season 7 was released on November 27, 2024 and a fifth spin-off entitled "Legends" was released on April 28, 2025, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the show.^[5]

Overview

Each episode of the series focuses on a specific chef, and explores their personal philosophies and approach to cooking.^[6] Creator David Gelb considers it a follow-up to his documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. He teamed up with Brian McGinn to develop Chef's Table with Boardwalk Pictures and Netflix became interested in it. Both documentaries make use of cinematography and production techniques based on traditional filmmaking rather than reality television.^[7]
