The Chef Show

Simply one of the best cooking shows out there. The genuine friendliness and love of food from Jon Favreau and Roy Choi is very much evident, and it makes the show outstanding and immensely watchable.

This show is genuinely wonderful. The laid-back dialogue and easygoing nature of the hosts really makes it a relaxing watch in line with shows like Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. It's something nice to kick back with, y'know? It's also serious eye candy, like most cooking shows, and its star power is seriously insane. The first episode alone has Jon Favreau (of course, he hosts it!), Roy Choi, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Bill Burr.

It's also definitely a must-watch for Marvel fans-- so many superhero actors and actresses make appearances in this show, it's ridiculous! But really, what can you expect when one of the main hosts plays Happy Hogan? Seeing them interact in such a casual environment is a real treat. Iron Man and Spiderman fans will be especially pleased!

Overall, it's an absolute delight and 100% recommended-- especially for fans of the movie Chef, although foreknowledge of it isn't required by any means!

My wife and I recently stumbled onto this show and we can't help ourselves and are binge watching. I love the relationship between John and Roy, they complement each other well. I also like how humble they both are even though they are experts in their fields. This is a show about how food it's the centerpiece of relationships. It's not a cooking show it's a show that introduces you to food and the culture and love behind it. I am so happy that this show is on the air and I hope to see it go for a long time!

As a fan of the movie CHEF I was intrigued enough to check this cooking show out. What a fun find! I loved the guests and the conversations while they're prepping and cooking. Jon and Roy are a great pairing to host. My favorite: the Aaron Franklin episodes, so fascinated with the Texas bbq style he's mastered and I appreciated the lesson in how to make the brisket. Can't wait for the Hot Luck Festival 2020 😝

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.
