The eight-part series, which premiers on Friday 10th October, takes viewers inside the emotionally charged, high-stakes world of fine dining — capturing the pressure and ambition that define the road to Michelin recognition.

At each stop, chefs open their doors and their kitchens as they chase their first, second or even third Michelin star. The series visits restaurants in:

• New York (Coqodaq, The Musket Room, Nōksu)
• Chicago (Cariño, Esmé, Feld)
• The Nordics (Aure, Jordnær, Knystaforsen)
• The U.K. (Caractère, House, Wilsons)
• Mexico (Em, Máximo)
• Italy (Agriturismo Ferdy, Kresios)
• California (Harbor House, Pasjoli, Pasta|Bar)

With unprecedented access to Michelin — including rare, on-the-record interviews with anonymous inspectors — the series delivers a chef’s-eye view of one of the culinary world’s most elusive honours, and the human stories behind the pursuit of perfection.
