As a regular mainstream anime viewer, I would never have thought that a cooking anime could be so satisfying.
The show does a great job of displaying the cooking world through a competitive lens. The characters (main, major, and minor) are all developed wonderfully -- you'll fall in love with many if not all of them! The plot(s) and setting are structured very well. Ended up watching the entire first season in 3 days.
The main character, Soma, pursues his dream of surpassing his father as a cook. We are introduced to new characters and opponents with their own dreams, as well. The animation is at a top quality, the music/soundtrack is of high caliber, and the pacing and progression is completely on point. If they make a season two (going off of the manga) it will be just as great as Season 1, so it is a series that will not decline in overall quality as more seasons are released.
Highly, highly recommend.
