The Best Chef In The World

About the Film

The Best Chef in The World The French Laundry, run by legendary chef Thomas Keller, has often been recognized as the best restaurant in the world, but few know the story of its original founder, Sally Schmitt. In an emotional final interview before her passing in March 2022, Sally tells her own story as a pioneering chef of California cuisine and sets the table for another way to look at life: where balance, rather than recognition, is the ultimate prize.

The AFS envoy for The Best Chef in The World is Cinematographer Brandon Somerhalder.
