Great Chefs ran on a bunch of channels and had a bunch of spinoffs. It was produced by a guy from New Orleans. Couple of years ago he invited us to his office on Magazine in the CBD where he had this awesome vault/room that was half filled with wine and half with the original videos of all these chefs.

One thing he mentioned which was interesting is that when he started doing the series there was no such thing as Celebrity chefs. So he could call say Daniel Boulud and speak with him to arrange a filming for the next week. The show lost steam for a variety of factors but one was that chefs got publicists, and agents, and soon those phone calls became very pricey.

I do remember that it had some spinoffs.

Not surprised to hear a New Orleans guy produced it.

I'd love to look at those old videos. They are gone. The music in the background was relaxing, the woman's voice was pleasant, and the narrative given by each chef made it informative.

Compared to what is produced today, this was the golden age of televised instructional cooking.
