Stumbled on this programme on Detroit P.B.S., 22 October 2001
Author: gmr-4 from Lowell, Mich. U.S.A.

I was gripped from the first by CHEF!, a crazy, yet urbane "sit-com." It is the principal's devastating use of malicious wit and language combined with the undeniable seductiveness of his wife which I find so pleasing about this searies. Too bad there were only three seasons, but one can see how the audience must have been pretty small.
