Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "To say that Chefs A'Field is low key is an understatement (it is PBS, after all), and it isn't likely to have viewers leaping out of their chairs in excitement. But it may well inspire your kids' interest in gardening or cooking as they see how much fun the kids on the show have selecting produce and working in the kitchen. It's even better when the focus is on some of their favorite foods, like fresh strawberries served with homemade scones and whipped cream."   The article notes: "If you’re a fan of “Chefs A’ Field,” then you already know that PBS’ Emmy-nominated series traces the farm-to-table journey of some of our favorite foods, with an assist from some of the nation’s most renowned chefs. This season has included segments on Sonoma Valley sheep farms, Portland blueberry orchards and honey that hails from Acapulco bees, as well as guest appearances by chefs such as Charles Phan of Slanted Door fame."   The article notes: "As sustainable farming gains a higher profile, the public television series, "Chefs A'Field," comes at an opportune time. The half-hour program travels to different regions of the country and follows the relationship between a chef and a vendor--be it farmer, cheesemaker, cattleman or fisherman--committed to artisanal products and sustainable farming. The focus is on seasonal foods; each program concludes with a visit to the chef's kitchen and a demonstration of dishes using the day's bounty."   The article notes: " Chefs A'Field: Culinary Adventures that Begin on the Farm takes famous chefs out of the five-star resto and sets them down in the fields across the United States, where their ingredients are grown. In today's episode, George Schenk of the American Flatbread bakery/ restaurant in Waitsfield, Vt., taps a maple tree for his Flatbread Maple Syrup Tomato Sauce, also tossing in Flatbread with Organic Sausage, Smoked Salmon & Asparagus Flatbread and Raspberry-Maple Syrup Vinaigrette. ...  Filmed in 2003, the series led to the cookbook Chefs A'Field, a collection of the recipes, and the series on DVD."   The article notes: "Episodes will include visiting an organic beef ranch and making Steak with Herb Butter in San Francisco; harvesting collards and making Bacchanalia Collards in Atlanta; harpooning bluefin tuna and making Seared Tuna in Boston; and visiting a farm that produces organic sheep's milk and making a Wisconsin Cheese Plate in Madison, Wis."  <li> The article notes: "Seattle chefs Tom Douglas and Johnathan Sundstrom will appear in upcoming episodes of a new national cooking series, "Chefs A' Field," airing locally on KCTS-TV (Channel 9). The 13-week series showcases regional foods from around the country and features well-known chefs interacting with the farmers and fishermen who supply them with locally grown vegetables, fruits or seafood." </li> <li> The article notes: "Tune into KQED-TV 1:30 p.m. Fridays for Chefs A'Field, the first U.S. cooking program produced in high-definition television. The 13 half-hour programs each focus on a well-known restaurant, where the chef travels to the field or local waters, then returns to the kitchen to create a delectable dish. Along the way, viewers learn how environmental practices play pivotal roles in how foods taste and how nutritious they are." </li> <li> The article notes: "Each episode in this captivating PBS series begins with a visit to a farm that specializes in ingredients of interest to a serious local chef who then serves as the viewer's guide to gourmet dishes that make use of those ingredients. Viewers are treated to facts about the featured foods beyond recipes and cooking methods; an interesting dish or two are highlighted in each episode." </li> <li> The article notes: "Beginning this month, "Chefs A' Field" on PBS will show children visiting a California strawberry farm, then taking the berries picked to a San Francisco restaurant to learn how to prepare them." </li> <li> The article notes: "In another segment, a Las Vegas chef known for his creative seafood menu travels to Alaska to see a king salmon harvest firsthand and to talk to native fishermen. He returns to his restaurant to prepare the fresh catch. Touching on a deft mix of travel, cookery, and environmental topics, this set will appeal to various viewers, from foodies to armchair travelers." </li> <li> The review notes: "Featuring a selection of America's best chefs, it's an exclusive kitchen experience that is off the hook." </li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Chefs A' Field to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
