Driven is a global documentary series about the people who drive our cars. And more importantly: it is about what drives them.
For Nick Bril, the chef and owner of two-Michelin star restaurant The Jane in Antwerp, performing at the highest level on the culinary stage is the result of a constant search for perfection through continuous improvement, combined with endless passion and relentless commitment to keep pushing boundaries.
Nick Bril is the owner and chef of the highly acclaimed two-Michelin star restaurant The Jane in Antwerp (Belgium), No. 89 of 50 Best Restaurants in the World, 18/20 Gault-Millau, and so on. In addition, Nick is an established DJ and a globetrotter, as well as a family man. What drives him in his life and work? How does he challenge himself to constantly improve?
We follow Nick on a journey to Japan to explore Japanese food culture. A journey where meets a Michelin star sushi master who introduces him to the kaizen mind-set of continuous improvement and how to apply this to his work.
