About

"Two friends, good food, zero manufactured drama"

After directing Chef, filmmaker Jon Favreau teamed up with real-life chef Roy Choi to keep cooking together on camera, and this laid-back series is the result. Each episode finds the pair cooking with friends, visiting other chefs' kitchens, or riffing on dishes from Favreau's films, with celebrity guests dropping by along the way. There's no competition, no drama, just two guys enjoying food and each other's company. It's breezy, warm, and low-stakes, the kind of show you put on for comfort rather than tension.

Watch it for

the easy chemistry between Jon Favreau and Roy Choi as they cook and talk shop.

Maybe skip if

you want narrative stakes, competition, or fast-paced editing rather than casual hangout vibes.
