Rene Redzepi        

Copenhagen Celebrity Chef; Host of "Omnivore"; 3-Michelin-Star Awarded Restauranteur

Copenhagen celebrity chef René Redzepi is the star of the new Apple TV+ series "Omnivore." He has also cameoed on season three of "The Bear."

His 3-Michelin-star, five-time World's Best Restaurant eatery 'Noma' is set to close its doors at the end of 2024.

"Omnivore" highlights eight artisanal ingredients: salt, pork, corn, tuna, coffee, rice, banana, and chile. Across eight episodes, each focused on one of these items, Redzepi and his crew traverse the globe, visiting salt collectors in France, and Japan’s busiest fish markets. In an interview with Food & Wine, Redzepi said that the series was influenced heavily by Planet Earth, the beloved David Attenborough-voiced nature series. That influence is obvious from the jump: With Redzepi’s calming voiceover, the frequent shots of coastlines and foggy tree canopies, the series might’ve been called 'Planet Earth but for food'. There is also a significant amount of "Chef’s Table" DNA in the show, especially in terms of its sweeping cinematography and cinematic soundtrack, but where Chef’s Table highlighted the world’s best chefs, Omnivore turns its attention to the materials they work with.
