Scarlet Valkyrie

Out of curiosity. Who is Ghoxt's fav character? Cause uh... I don't think G can guess Val's Fav. Though, its a long process involved in Val's decision. Her least fav character is well established in s1 though.

Professor Thursday

Ceres Cafe, 141 W. Jackson Blvd. “So we’re at Ceres, right?” says Carmy’s brother Mikey (Jon Bernthal), recalling a wild night — alongside a little history lesson — at the restaurant in the Chicago Board of Trade Building during the show’s first season. There aren’t many places to get a double shot with some eggs at 6:45 a.m., after all. ------------------------------------ Ed Debevic’s, 159 E. Ohio St. This old-school diner still looks like it’s in the 1950s, making it a classic attraction for those who want a burger and fries with a side of snark from their server. A visit to Ed Debevic’s inspired Carmy’s father to open his own restaurant, thus spurring the world of “The Bear.” Insults may be the best motivation, evidently. -------------------------------- Gene & Jude’s, 2720 N. River Road, River Grove Just a hop, skip and a jump outside the city, Gene & Jude’s has served Chicago dogs since 1946. The classic joint is featured in Season 1 during a montage set to Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago.” --------------------------------- The Green Door Tavern, 678 N. Orleans St. If your knowledge of River North comes exclusively from “The Bear,” you might be shocked to hear the Green Door Tavern still exists, despite the show depicting it as closing at the end of Season 1. Located next door to “The Bear” inspiration Mr. Beef, the bar has been serving up liquor and pub food since 1921. ----------------------------- Johnnie’s Beef, 7500 W. North Ave., Elmwood Park It may not have inspired the series, but Johnnie’s Beef has been serving up Italian beef and Italian ice in suburban Elmwood Park since 1961. The joint is in a Season 1 montage. ----------------------- Loaf Lounge, 2934 N. Milwaukee Ave. If you salivated over the chocolate cake Marcus (Lionel Boyce) prepared at The Bear, good news: You can find it at Loaf Lounge. That’s because Sarah Mispagel, co-owner of the Logan Square cafe, served as a consultant for the series. In addition to sweets, Loaf Lounge is known for its delicious breakfast sandwiches and lunch menu. --------------------------------- Michael Jordan’s Steak House, 505 N. Michigan Ave. The former Bulls legend’s steakhouse hasn’t formally been seen on “The Bear,” but Marcus hypes up the restaurant’s signature double-smoked bacon in Season 1. If it’s good enough for a fictional chef, it just might be good enough for you. ---------------------------------- Mr. Beef, 666 N. Orleans St. The inspiration for the series’ titular restaurant, Mr. Beef has served Italian beef since 1979. “The Bear” creator Christopher Storer has been friends with owner Chris Zucchero since kindergarten. The famed River North beef stand served as the set for the show’s pilot. ----------------------------------- Potash Markets, 875 N. State St. When Carmy isn’t sulking, he can be seen at Potash Markets, where he initially runs into his childhood crush and love interest Claire (Molly Gordon). Throughout the series, receipts from the Gold Coast market are scattered around his apartment. --------------------------------------- Roeser’s Bakery, 3216 W. North Ave. This century-old Humboldt Park bakery — the oldest to still be in its original building in the city, according to Roeser’s — is best known for its cakes and pastries. In Season 1, pastry chef Marcus (Lionel Boyce) visits Roeser’s while experimenting with making the perfect doughnut. ----------------------------------------- Superdawg Drive-in, 6363 N. Milwaukee Ave. The iconic hot dog stand in Norwood Park appeared in the Season 1 montage set to Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago” and catered the “breakup party” Carmy and Claire attend in Season 2. ---------------------------------- Trogo Kitchen & Market, 2545 W. Diversey Ave. Mr. Beef wasn’t the only real-life spot used as a set for the pilot. Trogo Kitchen & Market, on the second floor of the Green Exchange in Logan Square, is home to year-round pop-ups and, for a brief moment, to “The Bear.“
