The six-part series, Chef's Table, will be helmed by Jiro Dreams of Sushi director David Gelb, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It will follow six renowned chefs: Niki Nakayama of Los Angeles' n/naka, Dan Barber of New York City's Blue Hill Restaurant at Stone Barns, Ben Shewry of Australia's Attica Restaurant, Magnus Nilsson of Sweden's Fäviken, and Francis Mallmann of Argentina's El Restaurante Patagonia Sur. "We want to continue to support the best in non-fiction storytelling," said Lisa Nishimura, Vice President, Original Documentary and Comedy at Netflix, at Toronto International Film Festival's Doc Conference. "While some stories are best told as feature length films, others, like Chef's Table, greatly benefit from being able to communicate their story in a multi-episodic fashion. We're fortunate to have the flexibility to match the story with the best format." The series will be directed by Gelb, Andrew Fried, Brian McGinn and Clay Jeter. And if you haven't seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi yet, we highly suggest it as the 2011 documentary is streaming on Netflix now.

Once it was announced that the masterful Documentary Now! was given the greenlight to mock another fresh batch of real-life documentaries, fans were pondering which classic nonfiction films creators Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers and Rhys Thomas would choose. Well, have we got some awesome news for you. During IFC’s upfront event, Seth Meyers revealed the inspirations behind and plots for three upcoming Documentary Now! First we have The Bunker, which uses the 1993 political documentary The War Room with James Carville and George Stephanopoulos to skewer the insane world of ’90s politics. The episode follows two scheming, cocky campaign managers (Hader and Armisen) working on the heated race for the Governor of Ohio. Lies will be told, death threats will be made, and questionable ’90s fashion choices will surface, all in the camcorder-documented fight to get their underdog candidate to the top. We loved Bill’s impression of Carville on SNL, so we can’t wait to see what he and Fred have cooked up for The Bunker.

Next is Juan Likes Rice and Chicken which, you may have already guessed, is a satirical take on the charming 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Shot in Colombia, the episode follows young chef Arturo (Armisen) and his brother as they learn the tricks of the trade from their stern, no-nonsense father Juan — who just happens to run a highly-acclaimed restaurant that only serves one dish made with painstaking precision: chicken and buttered rice. (Watch the trailer for Jiro Dreams of Sushi below.) And finally there’s Globesmen, which is a parody of the 1968 Maysles Brothers’ documentary Salesman that followed a wearied quartet of door-to-door Bible salesmen. In Doc Now!, however, four hard-working businessmen try their best to sell globes to a community of people who find them too expensive and ultimately prefer atlases. Feeling pressure from their regional manager, and dealing with the constant rejection from customers, the salesmen do anything they can to reinvent the globe as a need-to-have household item.
