What happens

Chefs A’ Field is an American documentary cooking series broadcast on public television that focuses on the personal stories of farmers, fishermen, foragers and chefs, offering viewers a new way of looking at their food, environment, and community (strong focus on sustainability). Each episode of Chefs A’ Field starts with a well-known restaurant, travels to the field and returns to the kitchen, where the ingredients are transformed into dishes on the menus of America's finest restaurants. The audience views the chefs' interactions with farmers and fishermen. Now in its third season on television, Chefs A’ Field offers a new batch of culinary adventures for all ages as America's best chefs—and their kids—venture out to farms, fishing boats and ranches for a look at where great food comes from. Together, the chefs and their children go in search of fresh ingredients for unique local specialties, interacting with farmers, fishermen, foragers and ranchers, in Chefs A’ Field: Kids on the Farm.
