I've started 'shaping' what my end of month newsletter includes content-wise and I've got a bit about the Chef's Table Legends series. I think I like this silo less than the classic Chef's Table and I'm trying to work through in my mind whether it's them or whether it's me that's the problem. Broadly, I found this series to be quite sanitized and, perhaps, that's an outcome of working with such vaulted figures in the industry (and their PRs and lawyers).
I have only seen the TK episode so far but I agree that it felt like the sanitised version of the story - no mention of the terrible New York Times review for Per Se and how they bounced back from that for example, or the sudden closure of TAK Room at Hudson Yards. Also, no mention of his Bouchon restaurants, which I thought was an odd omission. I know they have limited time and there's a certain pace and style to the shows, but it felt incomplete to me.
