Boulud previously hosted "After Hours with Daniel" a behind-closed-doors look at the late night dinners, by chefs and for chefs. The series revealed where chefs go to unwind after a night behind the stove and uncovered the foods they crave and cook for each other. The first season was filmed in New York City restaurants and the second, on the West Coast, in Los Angeles restaurants. The third season of the show featured restaurants in the New Orleans and Miami culinary scene.
