The Head Table was a television show about food that broke the mold with a dynamite recipe that called for two parts talk, one part cooking, a pinch of laughs, a dash of celebrity, and a taste of controversy. Inspired by a hot food topic of the day, host Deborah Kane invites a small group of opinionated and well-informed guests to dinner. They come from all sides of the food world: ranchers, farmers, politics, authors, celebrities... you name it. Deborah asks one of her favorite four-star chefs to prepare an incredible meal. The wine and spirits flow. Then she drops the evening's topic on the table like a hot potato.
