The award-winning documentary series from David Gelb has been going inside the kitchens and lives of the world’s best chefs for three seasons now, and the fourth season will have pastry chefs Will Goldfarb, Corrado Assenza, Jordi Roca, and Christina Tosi taking the spotlight to let viewers in on their struggles and victories in perfecting desserts.

“Rotten”

This six-episode documentary reveals shocking truths of corruption, crime, and fraud that surround some of our basic commodities. For instance, the pilot episode unveils the shady business of mixing honey with hidden additives and marketing it as “pure honey” to supply growing demands despite the increasing number of bees dying all over the world. Now that big corporations have literally changed the nature and origin of the food we eat, this documentary aims to educate viewers and encourage them to be more mindful with their food choices.
