Jon Lister, CEO and Co-founder of CreatorsLab, stated, “We are so excited to work with Netflix Southeast Asia and SBS Australia, and with others in the pipeline, to bring ‘Chefs Uncut’ to viewers around the world. The series not only highlights the exceptional talents of these inspiring chefs, but also serves as a journey through the diverse culinary landscapes of Asia - a story we are so proud to be able to bring to a global audience.”

From Conception to Culinary Revelation

The idea for the documentary arose from a discussion between Jon Lister (who directed, produced and edited the first episode) and his friend Arijit Sengupta during the quiet days of COVID-19. It became a passion project that resulted in a documentary centred on Singapore’s LG Han, owner of Michelin Star restaurant Labyrinth. Completely unexpectedly, a call came from Netflix, via distributor Bomanbridge, who were interested in acquiring the show and turning it into a six-part series.
