Zagat Stories features in-depth, intimate, personal interviews with chefs, restaurateurs, and others in the expanded universe of dining and hospitality.

In video, photos, and text, these stories are told in the subject’s own words—letting you hear them as human beings rather than figureheads, celebrities, brands, or mysteries. Hidden was given the responsibility of directing and producing the short form documentaries. Chefs and personalities like Eric Ripert, Michael Solomonov, Barbara Lynch, Juan Jose Cuevas, and many more will talk about their personal journeys, struggles, victories, and life-changing moments.

These are the stories you don't see on the plate.
