Janson Media today announced the release of Chefs A’Field to television markets worldwide. This new series explores the vital relationship between great chefs and their food sources. Shot in locations across the United States and abroad, Chefs A’Field showcases regional cuisine and is filled with picturesque scenes shot at the peak of seasonal harvest. Each episode features a top American chef, who travels to the field to explore the offerings of farmers and fishermen and then returns to the kitchen, where the fresh, locally grown ingredients are magically transformed into some of the most delectable dishes on the menus of America’s finest restaurants. As the chefs interact with local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen, viewers see how environmental practices make a difference in how foods taste and hold their nutritional value. The ideas of sustainable agriculture are at the forefront of the subject matter.
Chefs A’Field won the 2004 James Beard Award for Best National Television Cooking Program, the 2006 James Beard Foundation Award for Best Television Special in 2004 and 2006, and the CINE Golden Eagle Award. Produced by Warner-Hanson Television for KCTS-TV in Seattle, the series is now available exclusively from Janson Media for worldwide television, DVD/video and new media licensing.
