In this special, the audience follows Chef Michael and his ‘Team Cuisine’ from the moment he wakes up, through to the late hours of Saturday night - the busiest night of the week.
On a typical Saturday, Chef Michael dives headlong into a hurricane of activity; trips to the market, adventures at sea, meetings, wine tasting, cell phone calls, emergencies, and, of course, wining and dining. ‘Saturday Night’ features some of the fine and not so fine moments of fine dining. Like the couple who are celebrating their 30th anniversary and are so pleased with their evening, they ask Chef Michael to join them for a cognac.
‘Saturday Night’ shows the predictable and sometimes painstaking labour that goes into running a restaurant. This special also captures those unanticipated moments when quick thinking and fast fingers are essential ingredients. Most of all ‘Saturday Night’ is an examination of Chef Michael Smith and what it takes to be a chef extraordinaire.
