July 14 saw the 68th Emmy Awards Nominations being announced these are the Food related Series or Episodes that were nominated to win this year.
With it being so cold and working seemingly to end later and later the only this more exciting than sleep is to pop into my heated bed, over looking the vineyard and fall asleep watching inspiring Foodie shows, such as the now Emmy nominated Chef’s Table. I have posted them in order of my Favorite MUST watch.

Chef’s Table
Chef’s Table goes inside the lives and kitchens of six of the world’s most renowned international chefs. Each episode focuses on a single chef and their unique look at their lives, talents and passion from their piece of culinary heaven.
The Netflix original docuseries Chef’s Table showcases high-end cuisine with the same mouthwatering drama and intense visuals as Jiro Dreams of Sushi and that’s because the same director, David Gelb, created it.

Top Chef California
For the 13th season, Top Chef headed to California and upped the ante of its challenges. Cutely called Last Chance Kitchen, it had a similar taste to the sabotage on Cutthroat Kitchen. You can watch the whole series on Amazon or iTunes if you don’t have cable.
Emmy Nomination:
- Outstanding Reality-Competition Program
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Jerry Seinfeld kept us laughing throughout season eight of his Crackle show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The variety talk show proves you don’t need to be in a studio in front of a live audience to make people laugh — an antique car and a dive-y coffee shop will do.
Emmy Nomination:
- Outstanding Variety Talk Series
South Park
You may never want to eat out again after watching South Park‘s “You’re Not Yelping” episode from season 19, which you can stream on Comedy Central. Be warned: NSFW.
Emmy Nomination:
- Outstanding Animated Program: “You’re Not Yelping”
Bob’s Burgers
Money to fix the deep-fryer or to let Tina go to horse camp? These are the types of hilarious dramas that ensue in Bob’s Burgers, like in “The Horse Rider-er” from season six.
