Overview
Although the Netherlands is full of culinary talent and top restaurants, many young people are turning their backs on fine dining. Their criticism: it’s too expensive, too complicated, and you get “nothing” on your plate. In FOMO Chefs, Tobias Camman sets out to discover what really lies behind these prejudices. With the conviction of a dedicated chef, wine expert, and author of four cookbooks, he takes the viewer into the world of fine dining. Tobias is assisted by Stijn, a culinary novice with a down-to-earth perspective.
