Released in April 2015, the first season of Netflix's Chef's Table recontextualized the culinary documentary format, focusing on the philosophical "why" behind cooking rather than just technical "how". Created by David Gelb, the series profiled six renowned chefs—including Massimo Bottura and Dan Barber—using cinematic techniques to explore the personal "hero’s journey" of each subject.
