For this saucy BBC comedy, the second serving is even better than the first. Culinary Kaiser Gareth Blackstock heaps even more acerbic abuse on his loyal staff but also begins to reveal a more human side as he struggles to keep his fledgling restaurant aloft. However, as diehard Chef! fans know, this show is more than just a sitcom blended with episodic drama--it's also a mouthwatering showcase for some of the finest foods on television. One episode has Blackstock, the ultimate perfectionist, devising his most perfect mouthwatering meal and scouring the shady underside of England's green and pleasant countryside for the perfect closer... the king of cheeses, an illegal unpasteurized stilton. In this and the other two episodes, the supporting characters are given more room to grow--especially charming young Everton, the bumbling, insecure prep cook. When Blackstock's boorish Jamaican father browbeats the "serious professional" into abandoning haute cuisine for a night featuring Caribbean food, it's Everton's legendary dumplings that save the day. (Watching him carefully prepare his Guinness punch might be worth the price of the video alone.) Brit-com fans expecting the surreal hysteria of Monty Python and its ilk might be disappointed by Chef's subtle shadings, but viewers interested in quality television mixed with fine food and sprinkled with a few decent laughs will be more than satisfied. --Grant Balfour
