For almost 15 years Vivian Sorenson was surrounded by some of the world’s best food as one of the original architects of the Food Network show “Chopped.” But, while her fellow producers were captivated by the chefs’ stories or their creative recipes, Sorenson always found herself yearning to dig even deeper into the meal.
“I was always the one saying, ‘Well, what about this ingredient? Where does it come from? Let’s make sure we’re sourcing it correctly,’” Sorenson told Variety at the inaugural Skyfire Environmental Film Festival. As the show platformed the chefs, she was interested in learning where the food comes from. “But in a format of television show, honestly, there’s only so much you can do.”
