Genzlinger also praised the selection of chefs portrayed in the first season, whose dishes, restaurants and philosophies differ greatly from one another (“each chef is different, not only in foods and restaurants but also in philosophy”).
Emily Buder of Indiewire.com gave the series an A- rating and called it the "reinvents the cooking show". Above all, Chef's Table offers a deep insight into the thoughts of the chefs (“entering the mind of the chef”), although they are always treated with respect (“respects the chefs”).
