A Chef's Life (2013-Present)

A Chef’s Life is a character-driven documentary and cooking series that plunges audiences into the kitchen of a high-end restaurant located in the low country of eastern North Carolina. It follows the trials and travails of Chef Vivian Howard and her husband, Ben Knight, and their farm-to-table restaurant, Chef & the Farmer, exploring both traditional and modern applications of quintessential Southern ingredients. Vivian’s skill in the kitchen is an equal match for her charismatic personality, radiating behind crystal grey eyes.  The only show in the history of television to be awarded a Peabody, an Emmy and a James Beard Award
