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.

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!

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.

I love the movie Chef, and I have a little passion for food. This show is great because it feels real and heartfelt. I thoroughly enjoyed that it felt like Jon Favreau just placed a camera in some kitchens and winged the show. Jon Favreau is learning trough the episodes from chef Roy Choi, and you get to learn with him. The show is contagious in its passion for food. The guests are great and the conversations are fun too watch and listen to. I would love to see more of this with new guest chefs or people from Jon Favreau's life/work. I love the bit in the first episode with the beignets where it feels like both Roy and Jon don't really know what they are doing and screw around with box instructions, this makes it feel a lot more lighthearted than other cooking shows I've watched.

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!
