“Eating with the chefs”

If only we could all do that, but hey, let's try

“Eating With The Chefs” quite simply documents the daily meal

(sometimes referred to as the family meal) shared by chefs and their

front of house staff at 18 of the world’s restaurants.

The documentary photographer Pers–Anders Jorgensen, a believer in “the

human story” as the most important thing, set out to create a project to offer a

small window into the world of food creation. He wanted to showcase the “people

who make the restaurant industry happen” and he did so in the most slow and

elegant possible way with this Phaidon oeuvre.
