Netflix’s Chef’s Table is expanding beyond television through live food festivals and immersive experiences featuring chefs from the series. Events in Park City and Las Vegas brought chefs and viewers together for restaurant takeovers, collaborative meals and performances, reflecting creator David Gelb’s ambition to let audiences experience the programme through taste and other senses.

The events featured figures including Massimo Bottura and Thomas Keller, while related projects include chef-designed United Airlines menus and Airbnb cooking experiences. The initiative is being developed with Chef’s Table Projects and has Netflix’s support, responding to growing interest in more tangible alternatives to purely digital entertainment and conventional food festivals.
