Wasnt a huge fan of this season, but it gets better towards the end of it

Episode 1: Literally shows us with Chef Teri at Ever that the kitchen doesn't have to be chaotic to reach the highest level. Quinn after Episode 2 where Carmy makes a lot of ridiculous changes "Carmy knows what it takes to reach the highest level!".

3x1 is one of the best episodes of the series imo

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Diamond Dave - Chef Daniel (Joel McHale) isn't "stealing" Carmy's dish -- any dish put out at a restaurant is credited to the chef-owner, even if it was created by a CDC or a sous. One of the things i loved the most about this premiere (other than that Trent Reznor/Atticus Finch score -- that undercurrent of calm music on top of unnerving sustained anxious music adds so much to it) is that we saw in S1 Sydney just wanted her rib dish to go to someone who would appreciate it, and she accidentally gave it to a critic who then praised it in a review -- and with Carmy's dish at Daniel, he just wanted *his* version to go to someone, anyone - and it ended up going to Syd. And when she and Marcus were talking about her New York food tour, he asked what was the best dish she had - and she said Carmy's. It's a wonderful loop of connection centered on wanting people to enjoy food -- hospitality.

The premiere episode is a work of art. One of the many things I love about this show is the fact that they respect our intelligence as an audience. There was no context or explanation given for most of what was seen in the episode and yet we all knew what was happening. The song that plays over this episode is a Nine Inch Nails track called "Together." It has a runtime of 10:03 so it's played 3 times here.

Jeff K.

Totally agree. I remember when it first aired, it got some criticism for being self-indulgent but it's so beautiful. I recall when I first watched it, it took me like a full 5 minutes until I was like, "Oh, holy shit, this entire episode is essentially a music montage" and after that I was just in absolute awe of the artistry at work. Also loved seeing some of the amazing real-life chefs pop up, though I do think it's kind of hilarious that Thomas Keller was in there since Joel McHale's character is most directly based on him (according to Joel McHale himself, who said as much in an interview on... I wanna say Seth Meyers?).

"Fear does not exist in this dojo." Richie bringing the Karate Kid references. Poor Syd, I would have slapped both of them. I've never worked in a restaurant but it seems pretty expensive to change the menu everyday. According to IMDB, the F word is used 68 times in the second episode (I guess they had to make up for the lack of it in episode one, lol).

Ryan Towell

Oak... The purpose of the tall chef hat is to hide little chef the rat.. Everyone knows that.

Jeff K.

FYI: the guy who comes in and talks to Carmy at the beginning of 3x2 is the real life owner of the restaurant The Beef is based on (the real one is called Mr. Beef), and he's also the main inspiration for Richie.

Carmy's dish for Syd wasn't at Daniel, it was at the fictional restaurant run by the fictional chef played by Joel McHale (the name of the chef and the restaurant are revealed later in the season). The older French chef who had a very gentle approach with Carmen was Daniel Boulud, and the scenes with him were filmed in his restaurant, Daniel, which is a real Michelin-starred restaurant in NYC (currently one star, but it has had two and three stars in the past). Boulud wasn't the only famous chef appearing in this episode. The scruffy brown haired chef who doesn't have any lines that Carmen saw looking over all of the snapshots of dishes in the greenhouse was René Redzepi, the executive chef and co-owner of Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. Noma has had three Michelin stars since re-opening after COVID in 2021, and has been rated the best restaurant in the world several times. Five restaurants in total were featured in this episode, but only four of them are real - Ever, the real Chicago restaurant where Richie staged that is run by Olivia Colman's fictional Chef Terry; Daniel, the NYC restaurant run by Daniel Boulud; the French Laundry in Yountville, CA (they have their own kitchen garden); Noma in Copenhagen (they also have their own kitchen garden); and the fictional asshat chef's fictional restaunt in NYC (whose name has not yet been mentioned). Syd ate Carmy's dish at asshat chef's restaurant, and the scene with her being served the dish was actually filmed at a place called The Exchange in Chicago, even though it's intended to represent a fictional NYC restaurant. I think a lot of people assumed when Carm said "fennel allergy, sub blood orange" about the dish that went to Syd that he really was making a substitution based on a guest's allergy, but Sydney doesn't have a fennel allergy that we know about. I think you are exactly correct that he was doing that just to get the dish as he envisioned it out to a customer, even though he hadn't yet met Sydney at this point.

DTGstl314

I'm definitely on that same page, but I remember it was very polarizing when it was released - a lot of people absolutely hated it, I think because it was such a huge divergence from any previous episode stylistically and didn't actually move the story forward, it just gave us some glimpses into Carmy's life working under some of the best chefs in the world.

DTGstl314

The older French chef (Daniel Boulud, an actual famous chef) who said "you don't want smoke, you want music" when cooking the potato-wrapped fish also operated his kitchen much differently than the Joel McHale character - he was very gentle in his mentoring of Carmen. The potato-wrapped fish he was teaching Carmy how to prepare is one of the signature dishes at his restaurant.

DTGstl314

I don't think this show has a bad season or really, even a bad episode, but I do think it's fair to say that S3 was probably the least impressive season so far. But I still really liked it anyway.

DTGstl314

Keller himself doesn't actually appear in S3E1 (we do see him eventually this season), though his restaurant The French Laundry featured prominently in this episode. The culinary garden where Carm was looking out with wonderment was The French Laundry's real kitchen garden, which is directly across the street from the restaurant.

DTGstl314

Did you guys notice Tina's husband consoling her at Mikey's funeral? If he looks familiar, it's because he played one of the main characters on Dexter, Detective Angel Batista. The actor who plays him is David Zayas, who is the real life husband of Liza Colón-Zayas, AKA Tina. It had to be fun for them to play husband and wife on the show.

DTGstl314

I don't think the opening montage of S3E2 had anything to do with COVID, I think it was just show creator Chris Storer's love letter to his hometown of Chicago.

DTGstl314

To answer the question about the menu, yes, it is a 9 course prix fixe (fixed price) tasting menu, and every guest gets the same meal every night. The restaurant may or may not accommodate some guest preferences, but they'll usually accommodate dietary restrictions (though sometimes they'll require you to notify them in advance). But the menu is the menu at fancy places like this, and you get whatever they bring you. If you ever wondered why the portions are so small on the dishes, it's because each guest is going to have nine different dishes brought to them over the course of the evening and they don't want the guests to get overly full before they run through the entire menu.

ShaniaBADDIE4LIFE🤘🐶🐱✨

Change the menu every day. Ummm, nah, it's giving crumbl and they dont be killing it every week; they have good and bad weeks

MarisoL

Why does it feel like everyone likes Claire more than Carm does?

Esther K

Many Michelin star restaurants do something called a tasting menu where they can serve a 6 to 12 course menu (all chef's choice) and you just go pay the one price and sit back while they all come out. Each dish is usually a one bite sized course. Some places do change the menu daily or weekly (again, chef's choice), in those cases, the patrons have no idea what they're going to eat ... which is usually the exciting part of going. So each day there is a whole different experience.

Re Episode 1, this episode is so goddamned beautiful, I knew about halfway through, and I had to verify, that the score was Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross. Indeed it was actually a Nine Inch Nails song from one of their Ghosts albums, they are full of instrumentals, and this was used so powerfully here. It really made this episode work, the way they worked it in and around what dialogue they had in the episode. It allowed us to see the whole variety of clips and the whole story with a unifying soundscape. Sometimes music is just used as background, etc. This one really front and centered the music, and I loved it. (I swear I leave these comments before I listen to your whole discussions so I end up saying things you talk about at least half the time, lol...)

Eboe Thrasher

I didn't find any failings in the show at all. Everything was perfect for me the whole time. I think people didn't like the fact that there was larger focus on the human element of the story rather than the restaurant, but for me, that is equally valid and equally important and has always been so.

Eboe Thrasher

Back story always moves the story forward for me, because it sheds light on everything that is coming up in a different way, and it will inform future choices in the show, now that we know what happened in the past. It always moves the story forward, even if people don't see it. Also, there were those parts like Carmy leaving the voicemail for Richie, or Syd leaving the message for Marcus.

Eboe Thrasher

There are so many shows that I enjoy that are in places that I would not enjoy at all... Succession, places like that... and I would have enjoyed Beef, but any of the rest of this stuff? Nah. I need comfort food, I have no desire for this fancy stuff, but it is cool to see artists do their art, since I'm a musician. I respect them entirely, though they do push themselves to a bit of ridiculous levels at times, at least Carmy sure does in this show.

DTGstl314

Just saw an update on S5 - filmlng starts next month, and the season is widely expected to be released next summer. Hulu/FX haven't confirmed a specific release date or even month, but they did say it will release next year, and given the shooting schedule of previous seasons, if does seem very likely that we'll be getting more episodes in late June. Assuming you guys don't have any breaks in your schedule, you should be completely caught up by the early February, so you'll probably only have to wait a few months to jump back into the show when S5 releases.

DTGstl314

Yep, and that's the second time we've seen him appear on the show up to this point - he was also in the series pilot as the guy selling beef to Carmy in the alley in exchange for vintage jeans and a big bag of coins. His name is Christopher Zucchero (Chi-chi is a nickname for Chris), which is also the name he uses on the show, playing a fictionalized version of himself. This isn't the last we see of him on the show, but I'll say no more than that.

DTGstl314

Fair point - I would clarify that by, "doesn't move the story forward", I mean that nothing that happened in the S2 finale gets resolved in this episode. We get absolute confirmation that Marcus's mother died in the S2 finale, but I think that was pretty obvious beforehand given the missed calls and texts from his mom's nurse we saw on Marcus's phone during the friends and family service. If didn't take a deep stretch of the imagination to realize that his mom died in the previous episode when you were watching it for the first time. This episode is almost entirely Carmy's backstory presented visually with very little dialogue.

DTGstl314

I agree for the most part, but there are certain episodes/seasons that are better and more memorable than others, and it's not a knock on the other episodes or seasons. I think every episode of this show has been good. Some of them are exceptionally good, but not all. You'll never convince me that S3E7 (Legacy) is as good or as memorable as S1E7 (Review), S2E7 (Forks), of even S4E7 (Bears), because it just isn't. But it's still a perfectly cromulent episode. I totally agree with you about the human element of the story - I think the restaurant serves as the template for the show, but it's not really about the restaurant, it's about the beautiful found family that runs the restaurant and the extended families in the lives of the people who run the restaurant.

Cristy

This is fantastic news! I love how quick the turnaround is between seasons on The Bear, can't say the same about a lot of other shows.

Tatyana M

Because they do, lol. The production team doesn't care to flesh out Claire's character, so they just have everyone around Carmy vouching to him (and the audience) about how amazing Claire is. Very much telling the audience, "trust me, bro." Seems she was ONLY meant to be Season 2's Bartman (from Cicero's utter failure story). Sidenote: I lowkey think Carmy's crashout in the freezer was the show's way of sidelining the Claire character now that she has served her purpose 🙃Because for Claire to be imposing enough to seek out his real number after he gave her a fake one, she was quick to run away after he was clearly distressed and venting from being locked in the freezer.

Tatyana M

3x2: I'm with Oak, my first thought was "why not change the menu weekly?" Daily puts a lot of pressure on staff, while weekly is less pressure, and it gives potential customers time to hear about a dish and hurry to the restaurant to try before it's gone.
