Re: Chef's table on Netflix

I really enjoyed Ep 1 of Season 1 but the series got progressively more pretentious for me and a quote from Ep 1 of Season 2 triggers more ambivalence:

[QUOTE]Wow, that's delicious, and that's really cool. That's what we have to do, right? Otherwise, I just give you a slice of bread and a tomato, and you go, 'why am I paying $500 for this?' Right?[/QUOTE]

I don't know, some of it is really pretentious wanky shit. Towards the end of Season 1 it seems like if these people are to be believed chefs are a bunch of damaged folks.

The passion and dedication in Jiro Dreams of Sushi comes across as extremes of indulgent pathos in Chef's Table.

IMO.

Re: Chef's table on Netflix

know what you mean and kinda agree generally.. definitely would not pay myself any of those chefs restaurant fees, in not a few cases even the food itself does not look like something i would like to eat if im really hungry :lol: .. See it more like art, so to speak.. Like something higher than food per se.. plus its fun to watch imo lol..

Jiro dreams of sushi.. damn, i would be happy to give all my money just for 20 pieces :RockOn: :lol:

By the way any recommendations about documentaries of this kind, feel free to share.. love them

Re: Chef's table on Netflix

aren't most of them on Chef's Table like 30 course meals lasting several hours? it's like of like going to a broadway play vs. the local movie theater. I don't mind spending $300 on a ticket to a solid broadway play. Some people share that passion for food, and it's tough to judge if you share that passion, imo. Disclaimer, I have only seen season 1...:lol:

If you enjoy "going to a broadway play AND the local movie theater" watch season 2.. Easy.
