Chef's Table is the first original Netflix documentary series, and premiered on April 26, 2015.
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. Both documentaries make use of cinematography and production techniques based on traditional filmmaking rather than reality television[3]
Reception
The series has been well received since it aired in 2015 and has been praised for its cinematography, score, and production.[4][2]
Chef's Table has been parodied numerous times. Gods of Food, which satirizes Chef's Table and restaurant industry, was produced by the comedy YouTube channel CollegeHumor.[5] The IFC series Portlandia parodied the series in an episode about an airport sushi chef.[6]
