About the Series

Combining the unrehearsed spontaneity of a reality series with the comprehensive culinary instruction of a traditional cooking show, The Kitchens of Biró is a 26-episode series that provides a candid, behind-the-scenes view into the restaurant, culinary school, and home kitchens of Marcel Biró and Shannon Kring Biró. A young couple dedicated to culinary excellence, the Birós and their staff allow viewers to share in their professional struggles, successes, and secrets, exposing the sacrifices and triumphs inherent in the culinary field.

Each episode begins at the Marcel Biró Culinary School, where Marcel prepares two amuse-bouches, appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, or desserts. Viewers are then taken to Biró Restaurant and Wine Bar, where the rawness of Marcel's world - the restaurant's back-of-house - is captured in color and black-and-white cinèma vérité with a bed of techno music. In contrast, the refined elegance of Shannon's world - the front-of-house - is portrayed in crisp, steady beauty shots with an ethereal backdrop of classical music.

Each episode contains two quick tips that provide simple technique, cookware, or ingredient guidelines that yield extraordinary results, as well as suggested wine pairings for the episode.

With food its star, The Kitchens of Biró concludes with actual restaurant guests critiquing menu items prepared at the top of the show.
