Last night we watched Chef’s Table for the first time and absolutely loved it! If you haven’t heard about the show, it’s a Netflix original series that focuses on the lives of chefs. Each episode they delve into the world of a different chef looking to discover their stories, cooking “philosophies,” and basically what they bring to the table that’s unique.
The first episode told the story of Massimo Bottura. He’s an Italian chef who takes traditional “grandmama” dishes and turns them into a work of art. We laughed, we cried, we loved Massimo.
The second episode introduced us to Chef Dan Barber, a farm-to-table type chef. Jason has been on a natural food kick recently, so he especially enjoyed learning about how Chef Dan tries to make food more tasty through different growing techniques. A couple of minutes before the credits began to roll, Barber said something that perfectly conveys his philosophy (is that the right word?) on food: “When you treat nature well, it gives you the gift of great food.” As soon as I heard that, I knew I had to artsify it with some hand-lettering action.
