He also directs and executive produces the 4-time Emmy-nominated, IDA award-winning Netflix series Chef’s Table, which he developed with David Gelb. Brian also directed an episode of the acclaimed 2018 Netflix original documentary series Dirty Money, executive produced by Alex Gibney.

In April 2019, Netflix released Street Food, a docuseries that celebrates the chefs behind the best local bites in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam. Brian acted as a co-creator and executive producer along with his fellow Chef’s Table collaborator David Gelb. That same month, Disney+ announced its first deal with Brian, David, and fellow producer Jason Sterman. Together, they are set to produce two of 10 food, travel, and lifestyle shows for Disney+; Marvel’s 616, an anthological docuseries exploring the comic giant’s creations, creators, and everyday people; and Earthkeepers, which spotlights conservationists. The trio is also set to develop and create content for all Disney+ platforms. He also served as producer on the documentary Stan Lee and co-executive producer on an episode of FX’s The Bear.
