The TVI Take

Netflix's documentary series on great chefs. The first season (Massimo Bottura, Dan Barber, etc.) is exceptional — the combination of food photography and philosophical interview is distinctive.

Educational about fine dining, farm-to-table philosophy, and culinary creativity. Better than food television usually manages.
