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. The series was renewed for a seventh and eighth season on May 20, 2019.[2]
Background [edit]

Both documentaries make use of cinematography and production techniques based on traditional filmmaking rather than reality television.[4]

Reception [edit]
The series has been well received since it aired in 2015 and has been praised for its cinematography, score, and production.[3] [8]
Chef's Table has been parodied numerous times. Gods of Food, which satirizes Chef's Table and the restaurant industry, was produced by the YouTube comedy channel CollegeHumor.[9] The IFC series Portlandia parodied the series in an episode about an airport sushi chef.[10]
