It's still a bit wild to me that they got Thomas Keller to appear in 3x10 (he's the chef with Carmy in the opening scene; for those who don't know, he's one of the most famous and respected chefs in the world, his flagship restaurant is The French Laundry). I'm mostly surprised because Joel McHale said in an interview that his character is inspired in LARGE part by Thomas Keller.

Is the photo of Bradley Cooper from the movie "Burnt"?

One could argue that Keller actually has TWO flagship restaurants - The French Laundry in Yountville, CA, and Per Se in New York City. Both restaurants have three Michelin stars (and they're both obscenely expensive). And to put it into perspective how big of a deal that actually is, there are only 14 restaurants in the entire United States with three Michelin stars - and one guy owns two of them, on opposite sides of the country. He owns several restaurants, including another Michelin-starred restaurant in Miami, The Surf Club (one Michelin star). The opening scene in the episode was shot in the actual kitchen of The French Laundry. I don't think the way Keller was portrayed in this episode is quite accurate as to how he actually is in the kitchen. He's probably not as toxic as the Joel McHale character, but he does supposedly have a tendency to hover over his cooks in the kitchen and whisper criticisms in their ears. The whole episode was filled with celebrity chefs - almost everyone at the table where Syd and Carmy were sitting was a well-known chef/restaurateur from the world of fine dining playing themselves, mostly from New York City spots. The young pastry chef Malcolm (the one who left service to get a haircut) is a highly respected pastry chef who served as the inspiration for Marcus' character on the show. The guy who Luca was fanboying over early in the episode was Grant Achatz, owner/executive chef of Alinea in Chicago (it had three stars for a long time but just got bumped down to one star in the latest Michelin Guide), and a protege of Thomas Keller. Christina Tosi (cornbread ice cream lady) owns Milk Bar in NYC. Her husband Will Guidara was a co-owner of Eleven Madison Park until 2019 when he sold his share to his former partner (the restaurant was originally opened by Danny Meyer, who is probably most well-known for being the founder of Shake Shack). Genie Kwon is co-owner of Kasama, which was featured in S2E3 - it was the restaurant where Syd was supposed to meet up with Carmy (until he bailed on her at the last second to meet up with Claire) where she had the egg and hash brown breakfast sandwich. It has the distinction of being the only Filipino restaurant in the world with two Michelin stars.

Jeff K.

Yep, and Christina Tosi is probably the most “recognizable” chef there from her time as a judge on MasterChef. I have heard that about Keller, too, so I wonder if part of why he agreed to appear was so he could kinda take control of the narrative and make himself seem a little softer/friendlier than his actual reputation.

Steve Chase

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I thought about whiplash when they were talking in the review about Carmy and that asshole chef. I was really surprised but not really with Oak's response in that situation. I get it but the way he was talking about it, I'm not with oak on this one, sorry.

ShaniaBADDIE4LIFE🤘🐶🐱✨

So the asshole chef made him a better chef? Absolutely not. Carmy is a great chef but he is not okay mentally and in the kitchen that shit did not make him better at all. Naw, I don't want to hear any of that

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

None of the reviews flashed on the screen in episode 9 were real - they were all in Carmy's imagination. The only real review is the one from the Tribune at the end of episode 10 - the one they knew was coming because the Trib sent a photographer.

Anthony Velasquez

Bradley Cooper picture was more a homage to a movie he was in called Burnt

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Agreed - David Fields (McHale's character's name) did not improve Carmy -- all he did was add to his already-plentiful list of reasons to hate himself and modeled how to treat his kitchen staff like shit. Showing the flashes of the calmer, kinder chefs in ep 9 intercut with Carmy yelling at everyone definitely highlighted the issue, and then the conversation they have in ep 10 shows that Carmen only took away bad things from working from Fields - who is cruel and slightly delusional about his power to "teach."

DTGstl314

It was a bit brutal getting left on that cliffhanger in the season finale, but The Bear has had an amazingly consistent release schedule - every single season has been released in the last week of June each year. Presumably S5 will stick with the same schedule and come out in late June 2026. That said, yeah, it was frustrating for those who binged the whole season when it was released in June 2024 knowing that we had to wait a whole year to see how this all gets resolved.

Madison RaeAnn Apitz

I get Oak’s mentality… to a point. But there’s no amount of “tough love” where a boss should tell someone they should be dead and it’s okay because he ALSO does it to other people. Trauma shapes people more than we can ever realize and it’s clear that while Carmy needed to confront chef David to try and move forward, he was truly damaged by working for this person, and we can see how it’s manifested in his own teaching/leadership style

Diablos Cafe

Unfortunately this is where I’ll stop watching these reactions. Season 3 was not it for me & the few episodes in season 4 didn’t draw my attention like the first two seasons did🤬

fatoumata cisse

Season 3 wasn’t bad, but it really does feel like very little actually happens or develops in a meaningful way. If you skipped straight from Season 2 to Season 4, you honestly wouldn’t miss much that matters long-term. Most of it feels like filler rather than real character or plot progression, though there are still some decent episodes.

Jeff K.

Plus, from what I recall, they originally didn't plan on spreading things out but had so much content that they'd written that the story they'd originally planned for season three got stretched into seasons three AND four, so it makes sense that it feels a little dragged out given this story was initially planned to only span one season until they realized they had enough content for two.

ZuZu

Seasons 3 & 4 are very slow moving as far as storylines go. No spoilers, but it takes two whole seasons to get to certain events or resolve certain plot points, and that's insane. I can understand why you and others might have lost interest. For me though, they do such a good job of building these characters every episode that I'm still invested and enjoying every minute. For me, the storyline is secondary to the character studies. Only five more weeks until they're caught up on this series, so hopefully whatever they tackle next will hold your interest a bit more.

DTGstl314

I've always sort of wondered how much of what Carmy heard from Chef David was actually said. I remember one audio clip of his abuse had him saying something to the effect of "your brother hated you", and I kind of think that might have just been in Carmy's head. I'm also guessing the "you should be dead" was probably just in Carm's head. I don't think we ever actually saw Chef David saying the most over-the-top awful things, we just hear his voice in Carmy's mind. It's kind of like when they show the ticket printer in the kitchen printing out things like "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" and "Fuck My Life" - that obviously didn't actually happen, it just reflected the severity of the stress being experienced in the moment from the character's perspective. The childish cruel taunting in the kitchen with Chef David saying things like "Hey guys, why don't you all just hold up, we're gonna let Carmy catch up" was obviously real, as were things like, "You're terrible at this". To be clear, Chef David is an absolutely awful abusive prick, and there's no excuse for treating one's employees like that, even though I do agree with Oak's take that it probably wasn't personal with Carmy (ie he probably treats all of his staff abusively). I think Carmy's own past family trauma played heavily into how he received the abuse from Chef David. Keep in mind, the Christmas dinner from hell happened BEFORE Carmy ever worked in NYC. His family is very dysfunctional, and it wasn't just Mikey - his father abandoned them, his mother is a bipolar alcoholic, and his sister has major codependency issues (to Natalie's credit, she's probably the most healthy one of the bunch, and seems to genuinely be trying to confront her PTSD). Someone who has experienced the life that Carmen has experienced is probably going to be a lot more shaken up getting treated that way by someone who is supposed to be a mentor than someone who was raised in an emotionally stable and loving household.

Anthony Velasquez

I can see that didn’t love season 3 but I knew going in that Season 3 was criticized quite a bit by viewers honestly the best episode imo this season was Napkins the episode that was the Tina flashback

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

For Mason Quinn: Shapiro isn't going to re-open Ever; he's opening his own place. Ever belongs to Chef Terry, and for him to re-open it she'd have to sell it to him, which she's not doing. Also - Claire is a DOCTOR. Not a nurse. Doctor. Please stop referring to her as a nurse - this is the third episode where that has happened.

AllyBoo124

I love oak so so much, but him being upset with the way carmy speaks to people then trying to excuse joe mchale’s behavior which was mean and personal and literally told carmy to off himself is so odd to me. Like Joe mchale’s character did say all of those terrible awful things to carmy under the guise of making him excellent and he is an absolute evil pos for doing so. Like he was demeaning and carmy gets stressed, and trust me I know carm has his issues but that was so shocking to me

Cristy

Like you guys, I love that split screen shot of Richie in the dark dining room and Carmy in the bright kitchen in ep 9. It's an image that says so much about what's happening in this story and I think it's brilliant. I swear, whenever these people throw away perfectly good food it makes me so frustrated. No wonder this restaurant has financial issues.

Cristy

Lots of Chefs and Restauranteurs in ep 10 as everyone has already mentioned. I think they're all named in the magazine articles we're shown while Carmy looks at the pictures. None of the chefs were given a script. Instead they were told that the actors would ask them questions and they should just answer honestly and take it from there. My favourite story is about the scene with Will Poulter & Grant Achatz. Like the others, Grant was told he was going to be asked questions by Will but he wasn't told the camera was rolling. He believed they were having a real conversation and was truly annoyed. Grant said he walked over to Chris Storer and basically asked when he was going to start filming and was told his scene was done.

Cristy

You're lucky in that you will go straight into season 4 but we had to wait a year which was tough. The major criticism for this season was that it felt aimless and nothing much happened. Besides Natalie giving birth we didn't get much progress. Which I guess is maybe more realistic but for people having to wait another year it was frustrating. I love so many elements of this season (the Tina and Sugar episodes are highlights) but I feel like it was more of a setup for season 4 than anything else. I actually appreciated this season more after watching season 4. Thank you for these great reactions so far.

val ‹𝟹

man i love oak and i understand everyone has their own personality and copes through hardship differently but his opinion on the encounter with the chef really shocked me. i've been in a similar situation like carmy where a mentor figure ruined me mentally and no amount of "just let it go" attempts could ever change anything, stuff like that really fucks you up permanently especially if you're really empathic and sensitive, i'd even go to say that, just like carmy, some of my current personality traits were a consequence of that experience. regardless of how good his training was or how honest he was about it, he literally told carmy to die and insulted him multiple times, when he'd make a mistake, even small, he'd treat him like an asshole and make fun of him even though the whole purpose of a stage is to learn and gain knowledge, he made the other chefs in the kitchen watch his continuous cycle of daily humiliating and belittling to the point where it drove carmy insane hence why he's become a destructive person both to himself and others. trauma doesn't always need to be this violent, huge, and shocking event, it can be minor moments like this piling up and building and getting bigger and bigger until you slowly start to lose yourself

Katie

So hard to watch these anymore with Oak ngl 🤷‍♀️

Katie

He gets mad at Carmy then excuses the behavior of someone else basically doing the same thing. It’s just annoying at this point

Katie

I don’t think he understands how much mental abuse he threw at carmy. Maybe Oak should be grateful he’s never been talked to in such a way that it ruined him mentally. “Just let it go” is super insensitive

val ‹𝟹

it was definitely a first to see someone not despise a character that was meant to be an undoubtably egoistic abusive asshole especially since oak hates carmy's behavior this season so much but i guess he forgot to remember who he got it from lol

Diablos Cafe

I agree, The Tina flashback episode was so good it had me crying everywhere. I can’t wait to see her & Jon reunite in Spider-Man Brand New Day.

Katie

I’ve had my fair share of mental abuse and that stuff sticks with you for a long time if not forever. i hate hearing “just get over it” you just simply don’t. It alters your brain. Also it doesn’t make it any better if he was “trying to make him a better chef” that’s not the way to go about it at all

Katie

It’s been a common thing for Oak to get mad at Carmy but then make excuses for another character who basically does the same thing.

Ste Rawlings

Oak is usually so emotionally intelligent but i'm genuinely stunned at how shut off he is on this. It's like he's been frustrated with the way Carmy is all season so he's accepting of the bullshit justification because he just wants Carmy to make progress, but he's forgetting part of why he is the way he is, is because of the way that guy treated him. I can't remember if you guys have done Whiplash for the channel but i'm assuming he'd think the ending of that movie is a triumphant one.

random guy 317

Owk just started yapping at the end of the review to try to justify himself 😂😂 ...I'm a big fan of the channel and this is always just entertainment and fun for me but oak really rubbed me the wrong way it's all good though we all have opinions

Ste Rawlings

You can tell a lot about a person by whether they think the ending of Whiplash is triumphant or tragic. The ones who think it's triumphant terrify me!

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Not just the same thing - so much worse! Carmy isn't telling people to kill themselves, day after day -- that kind of abuse lasts a lifetime.

random guy 317

Guys sugar gave birth only two episodes ago and the episodes are only around 30 minutes 😂 you guys will see more of her and Pete we have a whole season to go I would understand some of the small criticisms if this was the final season but you guys know it's a whole season left .

random guy 317

Lmaoo I'm just now noticing It I'm not even gonna edit it 😂

Jordan_Sal 413

Watch Burnt, with Bradley Cooper as a chef. thats where the picture of him was from

DTGstl314

I've always wondered if the real Ever restaurant had to field a bunch of calls wondering if the restaurant was really closing when S3 was released. It's kind of surprising how many reactors I've seen make the same mistake of assuming Claire is a nurse rather than a physician, even though they've mentioned many, many times on the show that she's a doctor and that she went to medical school. I guess maybe some people often think of doctors as being cold and emotionally detached, and Claire is extremely warm and nurturing.

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

I'm pretty sure it's because she's a woman. They've said she's a doctor on the show several times

DTGstl314

I think S3 is probably the weakest season of the show so far, but that said, I still thought it was great. I don't think there's been a single bad episode in the series yet. I think some episodes certainly stand out more than others (3x1, 3x6, 3x8, and 3x10 were the most memorable eps this season in my opinion), but even the ones that aren't as memorable are still really good.

DTGstl314

That's so cool. A very interesting thing about Achatz is that he battled stage IV squamous cell carcinoma in his mouth back in 2007, which is why his speech sounds a little slurred. The original treatment plan he was recommended would have involved removing a large portion of his tongue, which would have obviously been professionally devastating to him as a chef, so instead he underwent aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatment, and he's been cancer free for nearly 20 years now. He did lose his sense of taste for some time after undergoing treatment, but it eventually came back.

AllyBoo124

I also agree mason quinn, I wish someone would just ask Sydney why she’s hesitant or how she’s feeling. I feel like she doesn’t want them to feel like she’s ungrateful if she voices her hang ups, and even if she doesn’t have a real answer it would be nice for her to feel like they care and notice her

Brooksie

I think Oak needs to read up on emotional and metal abuse victims... seems like a generational thing to brush off that type of thing. I had to laugh though, Oak definitely had his Carmy hate glasses on 🤣

Shayna Toso

Happy New Years BM and everyone else!! 🥰

Tyler Daigle

Really disappointed in Oak’s take on the abuse Carmy suffered. He’s usually a lot more in touch with that kind of stuff. Very victim blaming. If it was a different kind of abuse I don’t think he’d see it in the same light. It is not even remotely the same as a coach being hard on their players.

So Tired

25:19 Sorry, but that’s easy for you to say, Oak. The sh*t Chef David pulled on Carmy was disgusting and mentally abusive, and that can take a serious toll on someone. As you can see here 16:31 & 27:27 from Carmy perspective. You can't just say, "let it go, dude." That's insulting to anyone who has gone through any abuse of that matter. And then at 27:06 and 28:34, you Double Down, saying things like "Dude, he’s tearing up," "No, he told him," and "What do you wanna hug?" like WHAT?! And Dave is correct, when you excuse that behavior, you are doing nothing but encouraging it. Yes, Chef David gave him confidence, leadership, and ability, BUT AT WHAT COST? Giving Carmy ulcers? Panic attacks? Nightmares? At the end of the day, none of that made him into the perfect chef. There's a completely different and positive way David could have gone about it, but no, he chose to use mental abuse instead.

Katie

I just feel like everything Oak said was super insensitive to anyone who has underwent mental abuse and the trauma it leaves you. Very disappointed in him

So Tired

48:43 It doesn't matter whether Chef David treated everyone this way or singled out Carmy. People respond differently to the same behavior. For Carmy, it was clearly harmful and took a serious toll on him. Oak, the moment you said Chef David "went too far" but added a "but," that undermined your point. There shouldn’t be a "but." Saying this is just how Chef David treats people doesn’t excuse it. It wasn't tough love, it was mental abuse. At 50:34, calling everything Chef David said “really powerful” makes no sense. There was nothing powerful about it. The real power was Carmy confronting him. Chef David’s words only showed who he is. A narcissistic, unapologetic, and completely unfazed by the damage he caused. 53:43 Quinn, it doesn’t matter if you're the best or average in your field. Mental abuse can still affect you. Using Black Swan as an example doesn't help your case at all. What happened to Carmy is similar to what happened to Nina, who suffered mental abuse from her mother. The mental abuse from her mother created an obsession with perfection, forming an intense pressure that led to Nina's breakdown and made her unable to separate fantasy from reality, which is why she didn't realize she had stabbed herself.

Steve Chase

If any of you are questioning Oak's sensitivity to mental health hasn't been paying attention to his reactions. No one shows a bigger heart then Oak when it comes to scenes dealing with mental health.

So Tired

I’ve been paying attention to his reactions, and you’re right, no one besides him shows a bigger heart than Oak himself. But that doesn’t change the fact that he still has work to do and needs to understand that mental abuse is a serious issue, which he failed to recognize in episode 10 while also excusing toxic masculinity as well.

BattleFranky28

I’ve been watching his reactions for years. He is very sensitive, and has shown great affection and care in a great many segments. I normally disagree with Diamond Dave, as he tends to come off a little self-congratulatory. But in THIS instance, I agree with Diamond Dave. Oak is very dismissive of what Carmy has gone through, and no, I’m not justifying how he’s treating Sydney. But to just ignore the circumstances that lead to Carmy’s actions are ignoring the whole problem. I also disagreed with his take on Spirited Away, you can enjoy someone’s reactions while disagreeing with some takes that just aren’t it.

Ryan Towell

So many sensitive people today. And it shows. I'm with Oak. But then I'm a Vet and this is just basic Boot camp 101 stuff. Everyone has a choice how to take that kind of training, especially as an adult. You can choose to see why someone is riding you extremely hard is because they actually know you're talented and can be the best but being the best is going to have challenges and if you can't handle them you won't be the best in anything.

Ryan Towell

I have to give a shout on the entire cast including the guest spots. We all know Ebon, Jeremy, Abby, Ayo, Lionel and Liza are killing it. But I have to say Matty (Neil Fak) has been such a joy in this. I don't know if many know this but he's an executive producer for the show and was a consultant on how to make this restaurant look and feel real. He never really acted before but he's always been a character, but I have to give a shout out to him cause he's the fun and "calm" in the very tense stressful environment. he's great.

So Tired

People like you are part of the problem in this society. It does not matter if you are a vet, and it does not matter that this behavior is normalized in basic training or boot camp. That does not make it right. The same applies to the military, the Army, the Marines, all of it. The fact that you have no problem agreeing with Oak on this is insane because you are ignoring everything that is clearly going on with Carmy. Even Insulting him by calling him sensitive. You can literally see how it is affecting him, yet you would be the same ones saying things like "stop being so sensitive" or "let it go, dude" or "man up" with no problem. You are also the same people who say "what about us men" or "what about our mental health," while at the same time being the first to dismiss it when it actually shows up. And then you wonder why men lead in suicide statistics.

Katie

Yes exactly! I can’t believe that itself went over Oaks head because how is telling someone they should be dead or that their family hates them trying to make them a good chef??? One thing I was referring to was Carmy cussing and yelling at Richie in the kitchen but said nothing about Richie doing the same exact thing. One of the examples at least.

Aubrey

To answer Dave's question in 3x9, yes, Tiff is being selfish in her insistence that Richie attend the wedding. She should allow Richie to emotionally divorce himself from the situation. Even if their daughter wants him to be there, which just came off as insincere, emotional manipulation on Tiff's part, it's okay to tell her no and allow her to see her parents creating healthy boundaries.

david baye

How do you know I haven’t? -Oak

Katie

Funny how you only pick me apart to reply to but it’s clear from your responses it’s never been to this extent. And if it has just because you handled it well doesn’t mean everyone else does. It ruins people mentally. Always love your insights and you as a person but you really missed on this one. It’s clear you have hate glasses on and you can’t see past anything but your own hate for a character. You insult him for showing emotions. It’s very toxic masculinity. I’m sorry but you were being really insensitive

Mo

love love loved your discussion on 3x10.

Sharrod Wolf

I’m usually ok with Oaks assessments but I really dislike people judging the way others process their own trauma. You can’t expect someone to deal with things how you would or how you would like them to. Everyone can’t put themselves back together as easily as some others

Lauren

So I read these comments before watching episode 10 and was very curious about what everyone was talking about. And I definitely agree that Oak’s comments were super surprising, given that normally he’s very empathetic of others. While I can agree that people shouldn’t use their own trauma as an excuse for their own bad behavior (which is probably where he’s coming from), I would have thought he’d applaud Carmy for letting out his feelings. Clearly he needs to express his own trauma before he can become a better person and boss, and that’s what he was doing in this episode.

Lauren

Yeah, there’s a different between “authoritative” and “authoritarian” types of teaching, and the latter is NOT ideal. The effect speak for themselves itself - giving someone ulcers and nightmares to “make them better” at their craft is counterintuitive.

MarisoL

I think the conversation Carmy had with dick chef should have first with his mom. I think that's one huge reason why he reacts and acts the way he does. Perhaps why he gravitates and can't let it go. That trauma is so familiar to him. 🤷‍♀️

Tatyana M

3x9: Just wanted to point out that Claire is an ER doctor, not a nurse. I think there was another time where y'all called her a nurse, too. The one scene in ep. 9, she was resetting a patient's leg (I think it was a leg, not rewinding that 🤢). A nurse resetting any body parts is a potential lawsuit, even if they did it right, lol. Also, Fak came in, calling her Dr. Dunlop. 3x10: I love the scene of Carmy confronting the asshole chef and the chef not giving a single f_ck. Only because it's so real. Some people truly do not care, so doing things to spite them or thinking you'll get your one-up moment is only hurting YOU in the end. The confrontation even gave the asshole an opportunity to credit himself for Carmy's success (that Carmy kinda acknowledged right before), which in turn made him feel more justified. I would be seething if I were Carmy. I'm sure that's why he cried (I too am an anger/frustration crier). It was best to just not engage. Besides, there's way more immediate conversations Carmy needs to have with people. The asshole is barely even a secondary issue. Luca also pointed out the man is a prick, so it's not just Carmy. And same, MQ, I knew Chef David would say he didn't think about Carmy. I mean, he said Carmy's last name wrong confidently. Usually, if you're unsure you'll ask "did I get that right" or something. That guy didn't care one bit. "Joel McHale was perfect casting." Faks! (facts, lol) Hoooommyyygaaahd! I didn't realize Syd and Luca's conversation foreshadowed her panic attack! This is one reason I like watching reactions. You get other eyes and brains that observe and pull out a whole different perspective or just something you missed. Because if you think about it further, she can only tell her dad so much so that he doesn't worry about her. This is where a sibling comes in. They'll worry, too, but way less than a parent.
