Mark Best talks international fandom, being part of a new school of competitive culinary programming and why The Final Table was one of the greatest experiences of his career so far. When Netflix announced The Final Table in August 2018, the streaming platform described it as “a global culinary competition show featuring the world’s most renowned chefs”. Information was scarce during initial conversations about The Final Table, and when the casting process kicked off, it was gruelling and time-consuming, taking close to one year. “I was in it to win it.”The Final Table wrapped filming in 2017 and hit our screens one year later, giving the 24 competitors some downtime before fandom well and truly hit. Best is one of Australia’s finest chefs and has achieved a new level of culinary greatness on the global platform that is The Final Table.
