[@chrishaven1489]

4:12 To my understanding, this is actually something chefs do all the time. They've had enough of making 'gourmet' stuff for the day and they come back home and decompress by making something as simple and stress-free as a pb&j

[@Flexpdx]

A PB&J smacks

[@awesomeguyvigil]

well that and being a chef is not nearly as well paying as it should be especially at a place like the beef so you spend the day making delicious food and then go home eating on a budget.

[@KrazeeHouse]

Been a chef for 10 years, and all chefs universally have terrible diets, most people with a 9-5 cba to cook a decent meal when they get home, now try working 12+ busy hours, dealing with food all day, and comming home late, fuck cooking, grab a cheap take out or something frozen 😂

[@kuyajhin]

or we just go get something quick the gressier the better

[@MyGuy18]

Chef here. After a long anxiety filled day, serving top quality food and memories, all while not trying to murder an co worker who couldn't get their shit together for what ever reason. Microwaves ramen, with some crushed in dorito's or hot cheethos and a good ice cold beer, give me all the energy I need to actually fall asleep and enjoy it lol

[@Kira1Lawliet]

A couple things about the beginning: 1. Yes, believe it or not, that is really how many head chefs behave in high-end restaurants. I've never experienced it myself, but I've heard from MANY people who've worked in that high-class food industry that yes, the people who run those kitchens have the dangerous combination of character traits of being super ego-driven and also mega-high strung, and many head chefs in those establishments will regularly treat their underlings with tons of verbal, psychological, and yes, sometimes even physical abuse (Gordon Ramsay once spoke about how chefs he had worked for would throw kitchen pots at his head on a bad day). It's a super-rough industry, and the reason people under them put up with it is because they worked so hard to get to that station in their career and don't want to jeopardize it by pissing off the wrong people. Also, make no mistake, some of those people could (and under the right conditions, would) literally kill you. 2. The last bit at the end where he says "you should be … dead" is supposed to be ambiguous as to whether it's him actually saying it, or whether Carmy is just imagining it because of his own guilt taking the form of his boss's internalized bullying.

[@KennyDC13]

I had a manager do a stress test on me in the middle of a service. For me though, I was bartending in our service well.

[@cmmiestcat]

That explains why Gordon acting the way he acted in Hell's Kitchen.

[@supersucks]

Yes, studied in a culinary school this is how it is. I still remember forgetting to remove the spatula in my pan and my professor screaming at my face about it

[@chocounicornempress]

Even at the chilis i worked at the manager would get into with cooks all the time and they always left! And then people would be on our tails because there is no one in the back to cook anymore ahhahah

[@SalMakes]

@@supersucks Yeah Same, that shit breaks you

[@angelsppp11]

The Bear reinforced why I would never work in the food industry, be it fast food or fine dining. They don't get paid enough to deal with assholes in the kitchen and coming in as customers

[@kokemon84]

I think it is important every one work in a restaurant. You learn why you should be nice to people that work shitty jobs

[@ryderls2729]

I worked at Wendy's for a few months and that shit was ruined by the customers and my manager being a piece of shit. Shit made me always remember to treat food service employees with appreciation cause that shit is NOT a good way of living

[@iamnerd223]

To be fair Carmy was also the only one who bothered to stay late and clean the place so I’d say he deserves some slack for the cigarettes on the stove.

[@BrownBearNZ]

Bro the editor is a God. That soundbite of the Black man crying at 11:23 got me spitting 😂😂😂

[@vivekmani2994]

Me too

[@Saya-ro7zm]

In the beginning flash-back. My brother who work in high-end restaurant said that it also can be that Head chefs usually don't have to do the work anymore, and executive chefs ( in this case Carmy ) are the one running the kitchen and the crew, so in a way the head chef might have felt threatened and might have come at him from a place of insecurities.

[@MyLiverismyEnemy]

Just to be clear, Carmy was Chef de Cuisine (thats the CDC they mention in ep1). Basically the one that handles whatever menu the Chef-Owner would hand him (and adding where they can) and actually runs the kitchen. CDC is also called head chef. An executive chef manages the kitchen and staff, much more of a behind the scenes role.

[@spiraljumper74]

“I know tons of people that cry out of nowhere.” Says Carmy, the chef. The selection bias goes crazy!😂

"SIR YOU COOKIN BOXES?" -roshi 2024

[@roykentseyebrows4196]

As a former chef, a PBJ, Coke and chips is exactly what you eat at home. I'm not banging out steak au poivre and tuna livornaise all day to come home and do the same thing for free.

[@j.p2115]

As someone who's been in the industry, the first scene is highly realistic. It has personally happened to me and it brought back those memories when I first watched that scene. I also used to have dreams that consisted of just the chit machine sound (the ticket order machine) and having my sous yell at me to make him a salad with ingredients I had in my fridge.

[@Cloudxx3]

So glad y'all are reacting to this, fucking love this show. Much love!

[@tellyg47]

They on s2 on Patreon

[@fraker12]

This needs to be bumped up to twice or thrice a week. Once a week is torture!

[@Apethantos]

I started watching after it got ALL the Emmys and Golden Globes recently, and I finished season 2 yesterday. It's one of the best shows I've seen in my 36 years. There's a couple of episodes in s2 that are complete masterpieces, in all of media.

[@giannissanz8]

I used to work at Jersey Mike’s, sometimes opening up the store or working the evening shift. And almost every time I would be sleeping, I would have dreams of me constantly making bread for the sandwiches. And when I would wake up, I’m downstairs in front of my stove with my hands in the motion of putting the bread on the cooking sheet. Once I left Jersey Mike’s, the dreams stopped happening. So when I saw that scene when Carmy was cooking in his sleep, it brought back a lot of memories from time at Jersey Mike’s.

[@teleytubby]

I thought I could watch this show peacefully but so many episodes had me stand up, walk away and breathe for a while. Stress is the name of the game

[@yujuy.1329]

the bear is the definition of stress incarnate. I've never seen anything like it. there is action shows and then there is tension. just taught bear grip tension. this show drives me mad and makes my anxiety go bonkers

[@bongzilla4172]

4:20 Most chefs are like that. Make the most incredible food at work, but then you get home and don't want to cook so you just grab something quick and easy.

[@SolidSnake240]

I had a friend like that. He was an amazing cook but outside of work he never put in that much effort to cook for himself.

[@tired_momfriend8593]

Gojo is outrageous 😭

[@stavv222]

My mom was a chef when she was younger. Had all the proper training in France and all that, and then decided to become a teacher 5 years in. She's passionate about food but she's a positive nicer person by nature and the vibes were not it. Then she got her degrees in nutrition and now is a food supervisor for our region's hospitals. Cause she wanted hospitalized people to have good and nutritional food.

2:40 In fact, this actually happens, and many real chefs have stated after this scene that they were treated in this way and that it is something common and very normal in their industry and that the entire series embodies the reality of the cooking or culinary industry.

I’ve worked food service, majority of my life and I can say firsthand. If you’ve ever worked high quality chef position it is very much like this a lot of people who work food service in the comments will agree with me when I say that this show is equivalent to a military man coming home And having PTSD no disrespect to them, but it is very much like anxiety written I can see myself having flashbacks of running around the kitchen, trying to fulfill an order in a hectic kitchen good some bad, and in someways it’s almost like a drug as much as I hate it, and it stresses me out, there’s a small part of you that misses it misses the rush

Sydney is amazing. I'm so glad to see that Ayo Edibiri is finally getting her recognition (and Emmy). She was in a LOT last year--"Bottoms", "The Bear".. Speaking of actors, Richie also plays a character in Andor--which is a stunning show you should definitely check out. Star Wars, but it's espionage--and at least as well written, acted, designed, and shot as this show.

On health rating idk if other states still do this but in California health code rating is by color, not alphabet. Either green, yellow or red. Back when I took food health and violation course in 2017 they talked about this with it’s easier for foreigners to know health code for food establishments. The colors is universal to know for majority of countries vs alphabet either English, Spanish and similar only know what it means.

[@moonlily1]

Professional chefs get sick of cooking and don't want to when they get home. From what I've heard, it's very realistic for a chef to go home and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner or something similar. The professional chefs who reviewed The Bear said it's like that for them; one of my employees who is a cook at her other job, who hasn't seen the show, said that's totally on point.

[@Sd3cinema]

Like any place, yes you can run into ppl that are that brutal, but no it’s not generally the norm. During my internship I worked in a kitchen where the head chef always had a stock pot of boiling water, so that when he needed your attention he’d dip a spoon into the water and fling it at you.

It basically means that the price/cost increases with greater demand. i.e., if more people want it, they make it a bit more expensive to really make money off of it.
