There were eight episodes in the first season, which featured Kevin Bludso and Melissa Cookton as judges and Rutledge Wood and Lyric Lewis as hosts.

14 Nadiya’s Time To Eat – 7.3

13 Nailed It! – 7.4

This American series has seen plenty of spin-offs in various countries since it launched back in 2018. A reality series, it is presented as a baking competition show where three amateur bakers must try and replicate a complicated cake or other confectionary dishes.

The winner gets a cool $10,000 along with a trophy for, well, nailing the recipe. But while the focus is on seeing one contestant emerge victorious, sometimes the hilarious baking fails are the most entertaining part of the show.

12 Nailed It! Holiday – 7.7

Also launched in 2018, the title says it all: this series is a special edition of Nailed It! that focuses specifically on holiday- and winter-themed treats, like an upside-down Santa cake, hand-dipped dreidels, and turkey cake with all the trimmings.

There have been two holiday seasons to date, including in 2018 and 2019.

11 Salt Fat Acid Heat – 7.7

Simon Nosrat stars in this cooking documentary series that is based on her book of the same name. It aired in four parts back in 2018, with each one focused on her four proposed elements of cooking: salt, fat, acid, and heat.

In order to prove her theory, Norsat travels to a different location in each episode to show how each element is used in local cuisine.

10 The Final Table – 7.7

A global competition series hosted by food writer and critic Andrew Knowlton, a dozen teams of two professional chefs each compete to see how can create the most elevated dish from a specific country, with a new country and dish chosen each episode.

9 The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell – 7.7

The only sitcom on the list, this one stars McConnell as herself, a baker and artist who lives with, and cares for, a variety of creatures. Fittingly, her baked creations tend to be pretty morbid and otherworldly, from gingerbread haunted houses to pretzel stick bones.

8 Chef’s Table: BBQ – 7.8

The latest spin-off of Netflix’s first-ever original documentary series, Chef’s Table, Chef’s Table: BBQ, released in 2020, highlights just four chefs who have mastered the art of mouth-watering barbecue.

7 Ugly Delicious – 7.8

The idea behind this non-fiction series is to look at a dish or concept and see how it is made differently around the world. Concepts, for example, might include everything from the kids’ menu to Thanksgiving dinner, while dishes range from fried chicken to curry.

It’s a combination of food, history, and travel show to delight the senses.

6 Street Food: Latin America – 8.0

5 Street Food: Asia – 8.0

As noted, the original series highlighted street food from nine countries and cities around the world as the hosts traveled to these different destinations to explore what is considered street food in different cultures, and how much of a variety there can be.

This first volume saw the hosts chowing down on everything from fish head casserole in Chiayi, Taiwan to chicken rice and wonton noodles in Singapore and vegetable lumpia in Cebu, Philippines.

4 Cooked – 8.1

Released in 2016, this documentary series is based on the Michael Pollan book of the same name that examined the history and varieties of cooking and how food can connect people. Pollan himself stars in the series along with Isaac Pollan.

Cooked divides food from both the past and present into four categories: fire, water, air, and earth. There was only a single season with four episodes, but the series remains in the top 10 on Netflix when it comes to shows about food.

3 The Chef Show – 8.2

Jon Favreau can do it all, and between his busy schedule as an actor, director, producer, and screenwriter, he is joined by chef Roy Choi for The Chef Show that serves as a spin-off to Favreau’s 2014 movie Chef.

In each episode, Favreau and Choi experiment with cooking everything from pasta to sourdough bread, visit restaurants around the world, and meet with respected chefs.
