Every few months I’d be checking back to your channel to see if you got around to doing this. Can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved your season 1 analysis and how excited I am for your season 2 one.

[@justinkhanna]

It's finally time! Excited to have you watching 👊

[@clementlin552]

I do the same thing! And with season 3 and 4 in the making I can hardly wait till Justin analyzes those too

[@5sos423]

I love how you stop at details that seem meaningless to someone who's not in the industry and explain and give anecdotes, also when you said "im not trying to make this about me" NO I LOVE WHEN YOU MAKE IT ABOUT YOU, i love when you share personal stories and advice, so excited to see the rest!

[@seraphindavid1898]

Since season 1 of The Bear, I have since met my partner who is actually a chef and I just want to thank you Justin for all your bts comments that added insight into his world that I think really helped us both hit it off when we first started dating. Keep up the great work! Love your videos.

[@justinkhanna]

That's wild! 🎊 new episodes of this season are uploading on Mondays and Fridays, you two gotta make a date of it 😉

[@seraphindavid1898]

@@justinkhannaActually we are! Looking forward to your Forks episode! 💯💯💯

[@RetroRecipesKitchen]

Been looking forward to this! Glad you're back, brother and look forward to anything you find time to share!

[@justinkhanna]

Back on that upload sched!

[@charlesspencer3447]

I just got my first fine dining gig and I’ve been coming back to your channel, happy to see you post again

[@justinkhanna]

Let's go!! Happy to have you back watching 🙌

[@danielaimasiko4487]

WE ARE SO BACK!!!! Cant wait for the next videos

[@justinkhanna]

Friday morning!! See you back here 🙌

[@mkyalva]

Your breakdowns make me appreciate this show in a completely new way! Can't wait for you to breakdown the whole season and talk about chef's lives outside of the kitchen

[@JakeBogusz]

So glad you but this out. As an aspiring chef it's interesting to get a professionals understanding of this amazing show. Can't wait for the rest of the season!

[@justinkhanna]

Massive pleasure to have you here watching!

[@5sos423]

Oh my god this is the best news ever!!!! So happy you are back

[@justinkhanna]

Soooo back. See you Monday for episode 3!

[@eigerw]

Great to see you're back bro!

[@justinkhanna]

More to come!

[@headzsets4337]

I would love to see you do a video just on your favorite or essential cookbooks to have in your collection, both for reference and inspiration.

[@brandondennis5294]

As a server, bar back, and bus boy in my past days, I’m not dropping those trays like that. Sydney gotta learn. 😂

[@BraidenMarkGernhaelder]

I lost my dad to cancer, He passed when I was at work doing a 16 hour day. Him living 4 hours away sucked alot

[@justinkhanna]

❤️ can only imagine - so sorry

[@HappyPerson870]

Looking forward to this! 🎉

[@justinkhanna]

We back - so glad to have you watching!

[@jorger.-fy7ex]

Now on the waiting list ❤❤❤

[@justinkhanna]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@chef_zach]

So excited this review is out! Btw my style choice is hats for a specific reason. I have a big head and the only hats that fit are new era fitteds size 8 🤣

[@justinkhanna]

Ha you right!

[@AaronWood]

OMG YES! I literally finished up your last episode of S1 and saw this right in the side bar.

[@justinkhanna]

Ha you and me are both a bit late 🙈 thanks for making me feel not so bad about my timing

[@AaronWood]

@@justinkhannatotally worth the wait! I love your insight! (and I just might have been inspired by you to Bar Keepers Friend all my pans.) >

[@justinkhanna]

Favorite moment from this episode? 🤔Any questions I can answer here in the comments?

[@krystalmacaraeg2467]

Tina is awesome!!!!!

[@General.Apeshit]

About dang time bud

[@Jglivermr2]

Something to consider on the time frame of paying back Cicero. They are still going to sell sandwiches during the day. That could be more than 10k a week right there.

[@justinkhanna]

Definitely - extra revenue streams help a ton, especially later on this season where they imply that it'll be higher margin with just 1-2 people running the window.

[@mikevanvliet4788]

Are you planning to post some more podcasts of apple podcast? Love to listen them while I cook at home🙌

[@justinkhanna]

Yes yes - this was a massive project (over 20+ hours of footage that needed to be edited) so the podcast and This Place Called videos are next!

[@seraphindavid1898]

Fuck yeah been waiting for thiss

[@n3xu501]

Oh man, I missed these videos

[@justinkhanna]

Missed having you on the channel! See you back for episode 2…

[@peterpanparker7601]

Lets goo! DUDE

[@justinkhanna]

We’re baaaack

[@mauriby6199]

I'm literally sitting on a pile of thrifted nice coats while watching this. Way to call me out, Justin...

[@justinkhanna]

I'm calling MYSELF out too 😭 this is why you're watching the right channel haha

[@ligatureD3siGn]

I appreciated the Richie pep talk, heard Chef!

[@justinkhanna]

Here rooting for you 👊

[@joepops727]

I am curious how you're going to cover episode 6 (one of the two best episodes of the season) as it's the one episode that has little to do with the restaurant industry.

[@justinkhanna]

I almost contemplated not making an episode for that one - it’s not the longest breakdown for sure, but I managed to get a few good bits

[@jurillo9913]

WERE SO BACK

[@jameswelsh4479]

Where u been?

[@justinkhanna]

Off of KZbin! But excited to be back, thanks for being here 🙏

[@Ian-jj9fc]

Not wrong, but it might not be an acronym. Maybe it was just the first three letters of "mise en place".

[@tydrenning6162]

Coats and shoes can't hold baseball caps jock

[@justinkhanna]

Truuuue I totally forgot about that!

[@BlackMetalChauvinist]

Absolutely hated this show. Season 1 was a bit tolerable. Season 2 was trash. And the idiots in my kitchen coming in and asking me why we aren't running a brigade style kitchen made it even worse for me.

[@justinkhanna]

What's been working so far for you?

[@BlackMetalChauvinist]

@@justinkhanna See that's the thing... we were already a brigade system. As is about 90 percent of restaurants. It's just people regurgitating buzz words without knowing what they are.

[@justinkhanna]

I’ll start wearing whites in my videos, that’ll prove it

[@WinedandDined27]

bro saw ratatouille 15 years ago and thought rats actually ran kitchens ever since
