Overview

  • Apple TV+ released the first two episodes on October 10, with the eight-part season rolling out new installments every Friday.
  • Produced by Studio Ramsay Global and hosted by TopJaw’s Jesse Burgess, the series follows chefs pursuing, maintaining, or risking Michelin stars across multiple cities.
  • The show depicts inspectors’ anonymous methods, including false identities and phone numbers, offering a glimpse into a typically secretive process.
  • Chicago storylines feature Cariño, Esmé, and Feld, with chef Jacob Potashnick’s Feld receiving substantial on-camera access and an episode slated for October 17.
  • Early reviews praise the high-stakes access and kitchen tension but note uneven depth and character development across different city segments.
