In late April Apple TV+ launched the series titled “Carême” which follows the thrilling story of the world’s first celebrity chef, Antonin Carême (Voisin), who rose from humble beginnings in Paris to the height of culinary stardom in Napoleon’s Europe.” Continuing on this culinary theme, today, Apple TV+ announced a new eight-episode documentary series “Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars,”

“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 Star, tirelessly working to secure their distinction, or striving to achieve a second or an elusive third Star, each chef faces a deeply personal challenge.

The Michelin Star is the most prestigious and elusive 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 the 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 Ramsay, Lisa Edwards and Morgan Roberts.
