We all like some good food because it’s a universal human comfort. And TV shows about good food being made are also quite popular. There is every type of food programming you can possibly imagine and they are shown on many streaming services like Netflix. 

TV watchers have now ditched the old reruns of food network channels, preferring to watch something new and exciting and this is where Netflix comes in. You can stream competition shows like Easy Bake Battle, or docuseries like Street Food, or even Rotten. Some of them may not be up to your taste, but you will definitely be learning a lot about different kinds of food from these TV series. We have listed some of the best ones in this article. 

Before you check out the best TV shows to watch on Netflix, make sure you have a working internet connection that ensures smooth streaming and seamless connectivity. On that note, we suggest reaching out to Xfinity customer service for fast internet plans at affordable rates. 

Moving on, let’s check out the top 5 best TV shows that you can watch on Netflix. Do keep in mind that some TV shows may be restricted to some particular areas around the country. 

Easy Bake Battle

Remember the iconic Easy Bake Oven we all knew as children? Well, Netflix whipped up a cooking competition show in tribute to that. One would assume that cooking is being done on actual Easy Bake Ovens, but sadly that’s not the case. 

However, the focus of Easy Bake Battle is focused on competition between average home cooks who use their skills to make easy yet delicious foods. The connection to Easy Bake Over is pretty minimal; the competitors are asked to use the ‘full size’ oven, though the heat is operated during a set time frame only. And that’s up to the cooks to prepare foods that will be baked or roasted during the time period that the oven is available. 

Nevertheless, it’s a good food TV show that showcases cooks using their all to bring about delicious dishes to your TV screen. 

Nadiya’s Time to Eat

This incredible woman who manages the show, Nadiya’s Time to Eat, is known as the UK’s widely known and beloved cooking show host. Her other cooking shows were Nadiya Bakes, Nadiya’s Family Favorites, Nadiya’s First Flavors, and more. 

The dishes being prepared in the show are presented with the practicality of a working mother just cooking for her busy family. Nadiya also uses her Bangladeshi background to introduce more flavors and dishes to the show. 

All in all, Nadiya’s Time to Eat is a delightful show to watch because it is relatable to viewers with busy lives yet still managing to cook good food. 

Drink Masters

This is a competition TV show like MasterChef but for making and mixing cocktail drinks. Drink Masters is one of the best TV shows where creatives with drinks are using their skills to make the best Negroni cocktail or New York Sour.

The drinks being made in the show are legitimately impressive. The contestants have an hour to prepare a cocktail and most of their time is spent preparing absurdly complex drinks that enthusiasts of home cocktails will never try to replicate. 

 The judging of the competition may be a bit obnoxious, but the visually appealing yet resplendent cocktails being prepared are what will get you hooked to the show. 

Street Food

This Netflix docuseries will take you on a global journey; starting from the first seasons in the Asian continents in Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, and Indonesia to ending the third season in California, Oregon, Florida, and Hawaii. The second series consists of countries in Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. 

Street Food shows interviews with well-known chefs who specialize in street food, many of whom dedicated their whole lives to cooking. You not only get to learn their stories but also the stories of their cities and their people. 

If you enjoy watching travel series that encourage storytelling, then this is the one for you.

Rotten 

This food TV show is unlike anything you have ever seen. 

Believe it or not, the food supply system is completely rotten, as well as corrupt, inhumane, and riddled with fraud. This is what you will see in Rotten; a take on stunts being pulled by the food industries behind the scenes, the production and consumption of dairy and seafood, and many more. 

Whether you are a food lover or not, it should be mandatory for you to watch Rotten, to understand the various ways in which the food chain is being corrupted by the corporate food chain and the ramifications for people who farm and eat.

This series may not be what you are expecting, but the subject matter being shown is too important to be ignored.
