Across season two, "Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars" follows 16 restaurants at pivotal moments in their journeys: A chef and his family risk everything to put a tiny island on Michelin's map. Two generations of a legendary culinary family pursue recognition on their own terms. Two chefs voluntarily give up their Star when they open a new restaurant and have just 52 days to win it back. One sandwich shop transforms into a fine dining restaurant each night, while a young couple seeks to put Filipino cuisine at the center of one of America's most competitive dining scenes. Their circumstances could hardly be more different, yet each faces the same uncertainty: When Michelin makes its decision, will everything they have strived for be enough?
