People trying to make their lives sound interesting. Not really.

Why must every chef present his/her life as a mystical journey. Just stop.The most brilliant chefs? sure, but let us see some cooking, some dishes... pathetic.Watched two episodes and now feel like i wasted my life.AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I normally watch comedy on Netflix but I decided to give this show a try and I fell in love with the stories of these incredibly passionate chefs. The cinematography is breath taking. I feel like I'm watching a nature documentary. The food is beautiful and if it weren't for this show I would never see it because these restaurants are waaaaay outside my price range.

Beautiful, emotional, insightful, and evocative, the second season, has really refined and expanded on this theme and the emotionalism of the first season. The locations and their unexpected beauty, provide a beautiful, palate cleansing counterpoint, to what, in the hands of a lesser producer and director, could descend into a foodie travelogue. Not here. History, culture, and family, are at the heart of this series and heart is the operative word here I highly recommend this to any and all who want another look at our De facto global language, food.Note: one critique I have here, is the stark and noticeable absence of African, African-American, and Middle Eastern chefs. This is something that the chefs interviews themselves reveal as a shortcoming, (in their own words), our commercialized (American and European) culinary biases, about what is delicious, or finely crafted. I find the said absence of African, African-American, and middle Eastern chefs, strange, since the entire internationalist narrative of this series, is so advanced and inclusive. Season three: I'm counting on you! Bring Africa, Black America, and the Middle east to the chef's table! I Implore you!Piero Amadeo Infante
