ive worked as FOH manager for multiple james beard/michelin chefs and i had to stop the 1st episode mid watching. i took a break for half an hour. it was too real and too triggering.

Fak is played by Matty Matheson who is a famous Canadian chef. his own youtube channel/content is WILD, lol... highly recommend watching his stuff. he's also an executive producer on this show and helped train the other cast how to make the cooking look legit.

You guys are knocking it out of the park with show choices!

There are vids and articles by chefs / line cooks saying how realistic this show is, not only in terms of the stress but also lingo, staff dynamics, and cooking methods. There’s a Bon Appetit article titled “I Worked in Michelin-Starred Kitchens. The Bear’s Depiction of Trauma Is Painfully Real” (a great read after you finish Season 1). I’ve heard that some food industry people can’t watch it because it’s too realistic and stressful for them

So happy you're starting this. "The Bear" is phenomenal. All the conversations feel real and the actors always bring it.

I suggest you both consider binge watching this show you will not be disappointed at all. I've worked in NY kitchens for 15yrs... believe me when I tell you it can get even more intense. BRILLIANT SHOW

As someone who works in a kitchen, yes, the energy can be exactly like this on some shifts. This is the most accurate representation of what it can be like in that field.

I love how the first episodes seem to be full of people that you may not really like or empathize with in real life, but at the last episodes you end up loving each of them. And in the 2nd season you feel like you are part of this very dysfunctional family. In some point, aren't we all?

love that all my favourite reactors are finally watching the Bear, its so freagging gooood!

I am from Chicago, my daughter is a culinary school grad and has worked in various "high-end" restaurants in Chicago. She is now the "Sous Chef" (she runs the kitchen) at the #1 rated restaurant in LaCrosse Wisconsin. Obviously this show is one of her favorites as #1- it's what she does, #2 its in Chicago where she is from, and #3- Jeremy Allen White was her favorite character In "Shameless"- which is about a family from the Southside of Chicago (like her). I would suggest reacting to "Shameless" but it is REALLY "edgy", but freaking hilarious.

* It’s called Mr. Beef and the owner is Chris Zuccercho. Idk how it is in other cities but out here restaurants and bar owners (Like Murphy’s) are already like mini celebrities to us but to see him on a tv show was pretty cool.

7:27 Yes. From a rural pizza shop to a downtown Michelin star restaurant, stress and emotional turmoil will always be present in a kitchen. Most restaurants are privately owned, but unless they're a chef, their knowledge gap will cost them money. Having someone like Richie as the owner would be predictable: mistreatment of workers, abuse of power, knowingly violating workplace rules, and neglect. Chef Carmy is familiar with the price of labor and food. But he possesses the time management skills to cut frivolous costs while increasing the food quality. I was Garde Manger and prep cook at a restaurant that was nominated for a James Beard Award. At 7 am I'd check the prep least and planned accordingly. at any given time i needed to have 7 different items cooking at once for that night's dinner service. 1) Braise the pork belly that was cured overnight, 2) Caramelize shallots to make a jam, 3) simmer starch vegetables for purees 4) Cut and blanch potatoes 5) Make and reduce whichever sauce we needed and its corresponding stock, 6) flash pickle whichever fruit or vegetable of the season, 7) Prep long term and short-term ferments. The 1st takes 3 hours to cook, 5 hours to cool. mis-en place (Prep) of the next 2 is short, and both take an 1hour, with 30minutes to cool. The next 2 take les than 30 minutes, with the final item taking less than 5 minutes. Long story short, I'm not there to hang out, or look for a surrogate work family. It took me 3 years of culinary school and 5 years of work experience to start at an entry level position there. It would cost $5,000-$10,000 per year to train someone like Richie; more if his salary and mistakes are included. If it's located downtown metro area, you need 200-400 patrons per week with a high foot-traffic/high turnover rate. Or, if you're a high-end restaurant, you need 200-400 patrons per day with high foot-traffic/Low turnover rate. Otherwise, someone like Richie or Tina would be the 1st to get fired if they worked somewhere else, and they lost 5% of your 6% profit margin. Even restaurants making 2-10 million dollars annually or still on shoestring budgets.

iirc if your restaurant can make 10% you're doing fine, if somehow you can do 15% you're doing great. The restaurant in this show is definitely at least 10% behind lmao

3 ай бұрын

@@pabloc8808 Behind, 10% Chef! Opening...the safe we're broke as f**k! Heard Chef! XD You can't be soft spoken in a professional kitchen. Carmy is stressed out of his mind. He wants to keep everyone on staff while turning a failing restaurant into a success. Plus, they don't serve liquor, which is how most restaurants make that 15%. They don't have a food truck, or cart, and probably have to rent catering equipment. Carmine doesn't have another business to help absorb the costs, or he's probably not getting a discount with his suppliers. You're right though. 15% takes creativity. The restaurant i worked for was a scratch kitchen. We used scraps for lacto-ferments, make kombucha SCOBYs, garum, koji spores, nukazake beds, miso, shoyuu, stock, etc. We had very little waste. One of my co-workers made a corn miso that took a year to ferment. we used it for our mole segueza. The key is to repurpose glass containers and weights as fermentation chambers, where most restaurants reuse their plastic food containers for storage. Sorry if i'm going off on tangents: I love being a chef.

Sounds exactly like my process as the Chief Operator of a drinking water treatment plant. At any given time I have a dozen plates spinning, some for today, some days out, some are plans running on months and years timelines, but it's all gotta be kept on track, or it'll fall apart. The customer demand never stops, and we never fail. It took me 6 years in the job to have enough time to even take the classes and test for the treatment license I needed from the state, and in the 8 years I've been there we've only had customer outages ONCE.

Truly one of the best shows to come out in a very long time. Everyone brings their A game on this show.

This show is a very accurate portrayal of how a kitchen functions! I LOOOVE this show!

this show is so cool, great cast, amazing quick pacing. Every episode has a love letter to Chicago scene. The plot in this first season builds to one of the best season finales of all time. So happy y'all are watching it. I can't wait to take this ride with you.

This show has sooooo much heart. The hubby and I were late to the game getting on this as well but we are so happy we finally did.

The bear comes from their last name, Berzatto, BEAR-zato.

One of the things this show does is it really captures what it feels like to work in the back house of a professional kitchen. Watching this gives me some serious PTSD from my years of restaurant work. But it's also funny, and really well written with great characters and characters. I fucking love this show.

Oh awesome, didn't know you were doing The Bear! This is a fantastic first season, looking forward to rewatching it with you!

I've worked at TGI Fridays, with a catering company that did banquets for 1000+ people, Pizzeria Uno, and a fine dining restaurant in LA that worked a brigade and had a Sommelier... it's organized chaos and going at 500% for hours for lunch ... and then dead.. and then 500% for hours for dinner...doesn't matter the restaurant. 100% accurate and relatable.

This is literally the most accurate and perfect depiction of restaurant life! (Dysfunctional families within dysfunctional families. All restaurants are dysfunctional little families.) Extreme love and extreme hate.

This show is absolutely amazing, nerve wracking and makes you wanna eat and punch the wall at the same time 😅

As someone who works as a line cook in a restaurant, The Menu shows you the mind of a chef but The Bear is what it's like to work in a kitchen.

I just finished rewatching this show yesterday. I guess I'm starting it over again.

great show imo. can’t wait for S3 in June. this, the boys and hotd😩
