So, you touched on it at the end here, but the reason Carmie calls everyone “chef” is *_because_* it’s a respect thing. He calls them Chef because he wants to elevate the level of the restaurant, and the first step to doing that is by respecting and believing in everyone working in that kitchen. Can’t remember which episode he says that in. But it’s more of a personal stance on how shitty the industry can be and how he doesn’t want to be a brutal, heartless kitchen like everywhere else.

one of the keys to being a professional chef is respect for yourself and environment, which is a huge reason why carmy calls everyone chef and gave them the blue aprons.

It's directly took from Marco Pierres White work philosophy; 1) service is never personal and 2) always call everybody chef out of respect. it's funny how carmy is very much inspired by him (rockstar youngster chef, the crazy hair too) but the opposite in his personality - MPW was one of the people responsible for popularizing the whole "asshole rude monster chef" thing, gordon ramsay is sort of a caricature of him in that regard. he's very interesting

Same…I’ve lost sleep staying up to finish both seasons on back to back nights….plus having to work a full day and care for my kids…I’m crazy about this show!!

I was a gm, worked my way up, of a restaurant in the 00’s. Hiring, training, expo, customer interaction(positive and negative), inventory control, scheduling and payroll, literally every aspect of running a successful business was on my shoulders daily. When I left and went into the corporate world as a data analyst it was shock that there were entire departments dedicated to each specific thing I had been doing by myself for a decade.

Im actually about to start my culinary journey in the fall. Ive been a home cook and occasional line cook at the restaurant i work at for about 9 years, and i have found such a passion for cooking and taking care of people. The Bear was a part of motivating me to finally take the leap and become a chef. Seeing your perspective on this show really illuminated me to even more insight i didnt have so thank you! Got yourself a subscriber!

After I left culinary school I never called myself a chef until I got hired as a chef. Before that I was a line cook.

I worked in kitchens for basically the first 13 years or so of my professional life...started young and always kept with it. Never went to culinary training of any kind...had close friends that did, and I always knew more than them, and to be frank...out-cooked them easily. Never once have I thought of calling myself a chef. My niece, when she was like 8, told her friends I was a chef...had to explain the difference to her, then and there lmao. Sad part is, nearly every chef and sous that I worked under told me "you're such a chef". Never got the opportunity...now I'm in a bakery 🫤 I suppose if I DO ever get the opportunity, I'll have some bread knowledge to instill in someone 😅

I've been in the kitchen either helping my mom or cooking on my own for 50 years. Today I run a food and cocktail blog. I am the person who has everyone over for the big meals so cooking for people has been part of my life blood forever. But I have never called myself a chef. It kills me the people that do. The woman who went to cooking school for a year 'for fun' after she retired. The guy on Facebook who likes to cook at home and takes pictures of his meals. It's one of those job titles that people assigned to themselves without realizing what the job really is! That is one thing I love about this series, you get to see the down and dirty of the real job!

Meat and three usually means a meat and three veggies in diners and smaller family owned restaurants. I worked for an MLB baseball team and while the stadium had multiple restaurants, the particular area I worked in provided a family meal with a meat or pasta containing meat and one pasta without meat and three veggies (for the vegetarians and vegans).

Thought that using Chef for everybody was a bit strange, especially working in medicine where titles are important. Went out to one of our finer local restaurants the other night and sat at the bar looking into the kitchen, and at least at this place they were all using “Chef” to refer to each other. Maybe a regional thing.

Since I haven’t earned the title I will never call myself chef. I’m just trying learning on the job I’m a cook

Alternatively, reaction videos could say, "People who know of my expertise have asked me my opinion of this show (or song, or movie) because they appreciate my perspective." Interestingly, people who always look for the worst motives in others often have questionable motives of their own. Not always, but often.

Don't worry about pausing too much, as a common issue with reaction videos is that people just watch without commenting enough. I'm interested to hear about your insights as a chef on various aspects of the show, so commenting even on small things like what's cooking in the background is insightful.
