That's a good point. Sydney is a great character and may have even more to lose than Richie but her story arc hasn't been as strong. I don't think that one episode of her taste testing her way around Chicago really added much to her story, unlike what Marcus and Richie got.

"A funeral of all my enemies." What a great line, which I missed when I first watched this episode.

S1, the day Sydney quit, Carmy couldn’t find a working sharpie.

Another great react! I'm with Mikel-Claire - I'm uneasy about the Claire character and storyline. I wonder if the close up shots are to show that when they're together, everything else melts away? To me it's claustrophobic but it could also read as romantic. Sydney is providing a lot of support to Carmy but not getting much back. I hate that. She deserves better.

I like your idea of everything else melting away during the close-ups. I think that's exactly what the director is shooting for.

I’m pretty happy for Carmy but man it was rough to see him try to balance between Claire and the restaurant. Can’t help but feel for him because you wanna see him win

I feel like in order to achieve greatness, you have to sacrifice something. For Carmy, that sacrifice may be Claire. Carmy needs to be focused. Too many people are depending on him.

It was a good decision. The chemistry is incredible.

I don't think we ever really get a good description of the Faks. They're just mentioned in passing. We know that Carmy and Nat have a soft spot for Neil but I don't think the Bears get along with the rest of his family. So when he asks if his sister can come, the response is just a flat out no.

I hope we get some context in the future. The peaked my interest with all of the beef. I'm willing to bet it's a hilarious story.

The comparison to Fak to a Star Trek Engineer is all the more dope when in this episode Richie tells him to "Make It So" which was Captain Picard's like catch phrase on Next Generation. That had to be intentional.

The "106 miles to Chicago" bit Carmie and Richie do close to the start is from the film Blues Brothers.

It's heartbreaking to see it end. But I'm happy to be rewarded with such good television AND amazing comments like this. Thank you for spending your time with us. It means a lot.

Carmen needs to get so serious about supporting Sydney because first, he ditches her in episode three; and then he hasn’t called the fridge guy for the entire season and then; he tells her “no I’ll think about chaos menu” and then; he kicks her, Natalie and Richie out when they’re trying to sort out the restaurant electricity issue while he went to A HOUSE PARTY ALL DAY then; he doesn’t even talk to her about the fact that he’s gonna go back to chaos menu. Instead he comes out with drawings and constantly says “Claire said 12345”, instead of the person who’s actually going to be leading the people cooking, he makes the entire menu with someone who, no offence, has no experience with professional cooking. He pissed me off this season by shoving my girl and the restaurant HE asked HER to open with him aside, and making her faith in him so shaky. Richard had one scene with Sydney and he’s been there more supportive her than her supposed partner. Carmy and Sydney really have to talk instead of using the “I’m sorry we’ll talk about this later“ sign as a way of delaying and then never talking about or continuing the conversation. I love how you guys are so keenly aware about the show and its usage of symbolism. It’s just wonderful to listen to your thoughts and watch you watch it

Wonderful comment. Thank you. I get the frustrations of Carmy being distracted. We know he has a lot on his plate but, c'mon man. Stop leaving the one person who's supposed to understand your vision the best in the dark.

The "106 miles to Chicago" line is from the Blues Brothers movie from 1980 starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as Elwood and Jake 'Joliet' Blues. Phenomenal film, definitely worth watching in my opinion.

Yeah "106 Miles to Chicago" is from Blues Brothers. That movie is beloved in Chicago.

"Boss Level" is a gaming term, meaning you have to beat the boss to make it to the next level. So, passing the fire test is 'boss level'.

Fak (Matty Matheson) is a really famous chef with many restaurants and a famous KZread channel. He is also a co-producer for this show and the culinary consultant.

Remember Luca in Ep. 4 was talking about being open to inspirations? Claire is Carmy's inspiration, literally his muse. Cannoli, drawings all happened because of time spent with her. I don't think Claire's running the menu, like Carmy running each item by her to get the ok. It's too bad Syd doesn't see it that way.

I personally like Claire’s character a lot. In my opinion, she offers Camry some normalcy away from the hectic environment of the kitchen. I think Claire brings a great addition to Camrys life and allows him some peace outside of his daily stress. I will say, in addition to this. I like that Syd addresses the issue of Carmys full focus and how he is not prioritizing the restaurant. Although I like Claire, I believe she is also somewhat of a distraction. Overall great reaction.
