Celebrity chefs have also helped to expand the culinary arts into popular culture, with chefs such as [[David Chang]] (Chef's Table), [[Alton Brown]] (Iron Chef America), [[Emeril Lagasse]] (Emeril Live), [[Cat Cora]] ([[Iron Chef America]]), Erik Davidson (Phat Erik's), [[Michael Symon]] (The Chew), [[Bobby Flay]] (Beat Bobby Flay), [[Ina Garten]] (Barefoot Contessa) and [[Guy Fieri]] ([[Diners, Drive-ins and Dives]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Shows A-Z |url=https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/a-z |access-date=October 11, 2022 |website=Food Network |language=en |archive-date=October 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011133345/https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/a-z |url-status=live }}</ref> Many of these celebrity chefs, such as [[David Chang]], [[Emeril Lagasse]] and [[Bobby Flay]] began their careers in restaurants before branching out into television. The shows have a wide variety of formats, including cooking competitions, such as Iron Chef, documentaries, such as Anthony Bourdain's ''[[Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown|Parts Unknown]]'', shows that take a look into restaurants, as [[Chef's Table]] does, and shows that teach cooking. The success of food television specifically in the United States has helped American Cuisine grow around the world.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
