In a recent interview, Chef's Table creator David Gelb shared insights about the show's inception and evolution. He recalled the difficulties encountered during the filming of its first episode featuring Chef Massimo Bottura, where a sensitive question led to Bottura walking off. Despite this setback, Gelb learned the importance of building rapport and trust with subjects, enabling powerful storytelling. Celebrating its tenth anniversary with a new season, Chef's Table has successfully navigated past challenges to become a renowned series on Netflix.
"He walked out of the interview. I was like, I'm f*#%ed. We've spent so much money on this... and our subject has literally walked out on the episode."
"It's a sensitive thing for people to get triggered by certain things, and so I knew I was onto something, but you have to build trust."
