Today, Apple TV+ announced new eight-episode documentary series “Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars,” hailing from world-famous chef, restauranteur, author and executive producer Gordon Ramsay’s (“Hell’s Kitchen,” “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares”) production company Studio Ramsay Global, and hosted by food expert Jesse Burgess, the co-founder and presenter of Topjaw.
“As a chef, the pursuit of perfection is everything, and you cannot underestimate the unbelievable drive and ambition, the determination and sacrifice, these chefs are going through day in and day out, chasing the dream of acknowledgment from The Michelin Guide,” said executive producer Gordon Ramsay.
“There’s no honor in any industry as prestigious and influential as the Michelin Star,” said host Jesse Burgess. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the stories of some of the most exciting restaurants in the world – as they throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at their obsessive quest for the ultimate award.”
Exploring the high-stakes world of international fine dining with exclusive Michelin Guide access over the course of the year-long Michelin Guide season, “Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars” follows the fates of elite chefs at some of the world’s most unique and celebrated restaurants to determine if they will win, maintain or lose that precious Star. From attempting to gain their first, tirelessly working to secure their distinction, or striving to gain a second or an elusive third star – each chef faces a deeply personal challenge.
The Michelin Star is the most prestigious culinary award in the world, recognizing the finest ingredients cooked to the highest possible standards. Filmed in cities from Los Angeles to London, Mexico City to Copenhagen, each chef attempts to win a Star or face the crushing blow of losing one, as Michelin Guide’s team of inspectors use false identities and phone numbers to dine anonymously. After all, the rewards for culinary perfection are great, and only the very best will secure their spot on The Michelin Guide’s exclusive list.
“Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars” is produced for Apple TV+ by Studio Ramsay Global, a Fox Entertainment Company. Executive producers are Gordon Ramsay, Lisa Edwards, and Morgan Roberts.
