Creators: Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka

Cast: Brian Tee


This edgy series, based on Anthony Bourdain’s graphic novel, asks the question: how far would you go for good food?


Adapted from beloved chef and host Anthony Bourdain’s graphic novel written alongside Joel Rose, Get Jiro is set in a near future in Los Angeles, where the ruling class has taken a curious new shape: chefs. As good food becomes scarcer and scarcer, people will go to shocking (and often blood-drippingly violent) lengths for a seat at the city’s best restaurants. Mysterious sushi chef Jiro (Brian Tee) arrives in this volatile climate with a thirst for power and the recipe for the perfect rice. They do say revenge is a dish best served cold… (RAFA SALES ROSS)
