Netflix is a glutton for food shows

Grab a fork and settle into your sofa. There has been an explosion of food shows on Netflix, enough to make anyone think she can dust off an apron and try her hand at gourmet cuisine at home. Here are seven favorite food shows on the streaming service.

If you love behind-the-scenes drama: Chef’s Table

Each season of the acclaimed documentary series follows six chefs from around the world, showing you, sometimes literally, how the sausage gets made. The food is beautiful, the drama is juicy and you learn more about food and culture than you may expect.

If you love drama and also dessert: Chef’s Table Pastry

The new version of Chef’s Table, coming April 13, follows four pastry chefs as they bake and make sweets.

If you’re not picky about food presentation: Ugly Delicious

In David Chang’s words, he has “just reached the point where I’m OK making really ugly food.” The founder of the restaurant group behind Momofuku Noodle Bar and Milk Bar travels the globe with his friends for fun, hour (ish)-long episodes that look at favorites like pizza, tacos and barbecue.

If you like culinary fails: Nailed It

Have your hours in the kitchen ever resulted in a creation that appears to have been mutilated by a semi? And then you chucked to yourself, “Nailed it!” That’s the spirit of the half-hour competition where inexperienced bakers tackle confections from the pros for a $10,000 prize. Netflix says more

Nailed It episodes are coming soon.

If you enjoy travel and awkward humor: Somebody Feed Phil

Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal brings his brand of cheery awkwardness to this sweet travel and food series. The show is in the vein of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, and although Rosenthal isn’t an expert in either travel or cuisine, he is enthusiastic about both.

If you are ready to rethink the food industry: Rotten

Rotten is a six-part documentary series that will change the way you look at your dinner, tracing food from your plate back to production, and exposing the corruption, greed and money that comes in between.
