Everyone says 'The Bear' is the best food show, but I think 'Chef's Table' is way better

I watched both shows last month, and while 'The Bear' is a fun drama, 'Chef's Table' actually made me want to cook. The episode on Jeong Kwan, the Buddhist nun, showed me food as a form of art and peace, not just stress. I learned more about real cooking from one hour of that than from the whole first season of 'The Bear'. Has anyone else felt like the quieter show was more inspiring?

Right? That episode made me see cooking as a quiet, mindful practice instead of just a job.

That episode where she burned the onions three times... did that change your approach too?

Read somewhere that burnt onions are actually a flavor hack.
