According to him, there are so many experienced chefs worldwide, and each has the best stories to share with the audience. But in the end, the selection depends upon their availability and whether they are interested to spare time for the show and making it the way it has to be.

What makes Chef’s Table distinctive from other culinary shows?
This question was asked to the creator of the culinary show Chef’s Table during an interview. To which he replied that his show is distinctive to other culinary shows as it does not run on a competitive format like them. Rather, it is a complete documentary show that showcases the expert culinary experts sharing their experiences with the audiences.
Those who have been watching the show since the first season must be knowing about what struggle chefs go through in being the best in their craft. Besides this, Chef’s Table also highlights educating about the cooking and the ingredients required to enhance the taste value. David himself learned much about the ingredients.
Another remarkable factor that distinguishes Chef’s Table from its competitor cooking shows, is the outstanding cinematography. It helps bring the yummy dishes to the screens of the viewers. Since they can’t sense the smell of the ingredient of a particular dish and how it tastes, the creators of the show can make them visualize by bringing the on-spot technique of making food.
Well, the makers of the culinary show have been successful with their cinematographic excellence in bringing up the flavors of the dishes. All that seems challenging for them is to engage the viewers with the 50-minute long cooking documentary holding their interest.

Netflix comprises so many shows based on food and cooking. And now witnessing the success of Chef’s Table has prompted the network to go further with more cooking shows. Other than this culinary show, there are shows including The Mind of a Chef and Ugly Delicious on Netflix. Other food competitions are inspired by the famous cooking show MasterChef.
