ChefsFeed initially launched in 2011 as an iOS app providing dining recommendations from chefs in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco who recommended their favorite dishes.[6] In 2013, it launched a website and original video programming, and expanded nationally to cover 24 cities with 1000 contributing chef experts.[7] In 2015, ChefsFeed changed its name from Chefs Feed, expanded to 50 cities and was redesigned.[8] [9] ChefsFeed also announced a Series A round for $4 million led by Artis Ventures in 2015.[10]

ChefsFeed's video programming includes mini-documentaries such as Opening Night and My 'Hood.[11] Its video team spent six months embedded in the construction of San Francisco restaurant The Progress to create a short film.[12] In 2016, chef Chris Cosentino discussed his mental health struggles in its video series Elevated, where chefs reveal challenges in their career.[13]

ChefsFeed produces an animated web series called Worst Shift Ever featuring chefs sharing stories about their worst day at work. The program's second season aired in 2017 featuring chef Michael Voltaggio.[14]
