Line cooks are the workhorses of any restaurant, diligently executing the vision of their head chef every single service. In the restaurant, their success is determined by their ability to execute rote tasks without any loss of enthusiasm.

The Lineup flips the script, offering a platform for these talented individuals to bring their culinary vision to life. Each year, 12 lucky individuals from New York City's best restaurants will be given the opportunity to have their own pop-up concept for one night only. The mini-docs here on this channel tell their stories beyond the kitchen, and document their experience in the program. Welcome to The Lineup.
