The ‘Chef’s Table: Legends’ Cast Has Been Announced

The four have each in their own way harnessed the power of food to push policy, change social attitudes on what makes a great meal, raised the bar on what we should expect from a restaurant, fed those who are hungry, inspired people to raise their cooking skills, and brought folks together at the table.

Now, the four chefs have been given the Chef’s Table treatment, beautifully shot visuals of food paired with a story that digs deep into the lives of each chef with a promise of exclusive details that don’t just get at food and restaurants that have made them household names, but what fuels them to do it.

“I have a job to guide as many people toward the joy of food and cooking, and I’m gonna give it my best shot,” Oliver says in the trailer for the show that was released on Tuesday.

The show has featured other chefs who would be considered icons over the years, including Dominique Crenn, Grant Achatz, Nancy Silverton and Francis Mallman, but David Gelb, the creator of Chef’s Table, compared the latest effort to the 2021 documentary he produced on Wolfgang Puck, himself a culinary icon and arguably the chef who spawned the modern day celebrity chef.
