'Chef's Table'
This iconic show takes viewers inside the personal and professional lives of their favorite chefs from around the world. It’s more than just a trip into "Flavortown" with Guy Fieri. Viewers get inside into the careers of such well-known chefs as Argentinian chef Francis Mallmann, Swedish chef Magnus Nilsson, and American chef Sean Brock.

'Somebody Feed Phil'
Phil Rosenthal is most well-known as the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond. A few years ago, PBS realized this excited, wide-eyed traveler would be perfect for a travel show called I’ll Have What Phil’s Having. The show was so popular that Netflix gave him another outlet to explore the food and drinks of cultures all over the world.

'Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown'
You’d be hard pressed to find a better travel show then the one starring the late chef Anthony Bourdain. CNN’s Parts Unknown was more than just a show about travel, it was a show about discovering new places and learning about different cultures with true empathy and wonder.

'Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat'
Chef Samin Nosrat wrote the New York Times best-seller Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat back in 2017. The James Beard Award-winning book led to the Netflix docu-series of the same name. On each episode, Nosrat explores a different cooking element (salt, fat, acid, and heat) through various cultures and cuisines.

'The Great British Baking Show'
Most of the shows on this list are travel-based, but we would be remiss if we left this gem off our list. The premise for this show doesn’t sound like you’ll spend a whole weekend binge-watching it. But, you will. It’s what food competition food shows should be. No screaming chefs; just witty banter, English manners, and extremely delicious looking breads and pastries made in a high-pressure atmosphere.
