The Chef Show

Much like "Chef" the movie, it would be difficult to watch this series if you are hungry...or even if you have eaten already. Have liked Jon Favreau since "Swingers". Not traditionally into watching too many cooking shows, but like the different take to this.

If you loved Jon Favreau and Roy Choi's Chef (2014) movie, you'll love this 8 part cooking companion series. It replicates many of the dishes in the movie (Scarlett Johanssen's pasta aglio e olio, cubana sandwich, gourmet grilled cheese, chocolate lava cake, berries with caramel dust & whipped cream, Cafe Du Monde beignet). Guests include cast & crew from Chef & Jon's Hollywood and Marvel connection (Robert Downey Jr, Tom Holland, Gwyneth Paltrow, director Robert Rodriguez, Marvel Studio Pres. Kevin Feige). One episode honored the late LA food critic Jonathan Gold who helped expand Roy Choi's Kogi as well as Jitlada Thai restaurant. Chef David Chang puts in a guest appearance along with Pitmaster Aaron Franklin and the Atlanta staff of Holeman & Finch and The Optimist. As Roy and Jon cook, you get some great cooking tips and I love the animation that dissects the ingredients in each dish.

I started watching this a few days ago, just made me cook and laugh for two days. The perspective is good, not too scientific but detailed enough, combined with the natural charisma of Roy and John. Watching this is like enjoying a good meal

I knew after the first episode that I was going to love this show! Jon and Roy not only have a infectious friendship that makes you feel like a part of the crew but they are also so genuine, humble and real! This is what I watch when I need some inspiration. It's easy to fall back in love with cooking after just one episode of the Chef Show.

It's actually amazing. I love John and Roy's rhythm, the cooking the subtle and not so subtle jokes. Must watch for cooking an Favreau fans.
