Chef's Table: Pizza’s executive producer's thoughts on the show
In a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Chef's Table: Pizza’s executive producer, Brian McGinn called Pizza the 'ultimate canvas' as he said:
"Pizza is sort of the ultimate canvas. You roll out some dough, and then whatever you put on top and how you make it, that can be a perfect way of expressing who you are.”
He continued:
"That’s what Chef’s Table is about, people finding their voices, finding a way to express themselves, to express their cultures."
Brian further added that it is exciting for the team to take such a simple food item and “go deeper into it.”
The creators will essentially tackle a dish that the majority of the world enjoys and loves and will take viewers on an exciting journey. The new season of the show will be all about how these chefs “changed the game” and created a whole new dimension and genre of pizza eating and making.
Chef's Table: Pizza will feature six masters of Pizza from different cities around the world. It will introduce viewers to Chris Bianco, Gabriele Bonci from Rome, Ann Kim from Minneapolis, Franco Pepe from Caiazzo, Yoshihiro Imai from Kyoto, and Sarah Minnick from Portland.
The trailer showcased each chef and provided glimpses of their pizza-making journeys. The beginning of the trailer emphasized how people look at pizza differently after hanging out with the renowned chef Biano.
Next comes Franco, and the trailer assured viewers that “dough is in his DNA.” Franco spoke in Italian, his native language, and said that when he makes dough, he doesn’t use a machine. He also said:
“There is no machine behind it (pizza), there are only the arms and the mind of man.”
While introducing Sarah Minnick, the trailer said that the ingredients this chef uses would be considered a “war crime in a Jersey slice shop.” Chef Gabriele Bonci shed light on his journey to fame and how he wanted to quit once he was on top. He spoke about how he started to self-destruct but was able to redeem himself.
The trailer said:
"Pizza is more than tomato sauce and melted cheese. Pizza is an art. Pizza is important.”
Chef's Table: Pizza is produced by Supper Club and Broadwalk Pictures and directed by Abigail Fuller, Clay Jeter, Zia Mandviwalla and Brian McGinn. Executive producers include David Gelb, Brian McGinn, and Andrew Fried.
