MUSEUM OF FOOD - The Chef's Table, Season 1

A documentary about food should be made the way that you get full only by watching at food. That is why it is recommended to watch a true masterpiece by Netflix, The Chef's Table by the acclaimed American film director David Gelb. No surprise if you find yourself checking the route to Modena or trying to figure out how to get to Fäviken even before the episode ends. It is however not recommended to watch The Chef's Table, because the chances are big, that all other documentaries may seem to be dull afterwards.

Being magnificently beautiful the series are usefully informative. As already mentioned above, the first season addresses to such modern giants like Massimo Bottura and Magnus Nilsson. Chefs are talking about their personal stories. But instead of motivational "yes, you can do it" bullshit, that you may usually expect from the celebrities' TV shows, these are the stories of sweat and pain. You follow each of the characters from the memories of a child sitting under the grandma's kitchen table to the listing in World's 50 Best and Michelin stars. In the end of each film you get an access to a breathtaking gallery of mind-blowing treats. Now, when you're prepared, you know what it takes. And the final word "What's next?!" heats up the excitement. Simple and clever.

They say: "Chefs are rock-stars". I add: Special type of artists, humble as all geniuses. Except for Tim Raue, though, but it is an another story. So try not to listen with an open mouth when Nilsson speaks. See you there.
