The series follows top chefs from around the world as they fight for a Michelin star. There are eight episodes in total, and each one shows the pressure, hard work, and chaos that come with trying to impress the strict Michelin inspectors.
According to Apple TV+, the show will offer special access to the Michelin Guide season. That means viewers will get to see how things work behind closed doors. Jesse Burgess guides the journey, showing how much each restaurant is willing to risk to win.
‘Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars’ was filmed all over the world
This show was filmed in cities like Los Angeles, London, Mexico City, and Copenhagen. These places are famous for their food and fine dining, and they’re all part of the Michelin guide season tour. The Michelin inspectors never announce their visits; they use fake names and numbers, and pretend to be regular guests. That’s how they keep their reviews fair.
The show follows this secret process and shows viewers how the stars are awarded. Ramsay is the executive producer behind the series, and he knows how getting Michelin stars works. He’s earned 17 in his career, and this has made him one of the most awarded chefs in the world. His experience of the entire process will give the show a strong edge when it airs.
