Others on Netflix I enjoyed were Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Mind of a Chef (liked some chef’s segments more than others), Cooked, and Spinning Plates.
As for TV shows, my favorite is still Top Chef and Top Chef Masters (Bravo). I really enjoyed the recent episode featuring The Quickfire of “toast” at Traci Des Jardins The Commissary and the closing/last dinner at Hubert Keller’s Fleur de Lys in SF cooked by the contestants.
