Sugar announcing that she's pregnant just as the wall falls down is probably why the show gets categorized as a comedy for the Emmys, but I still have a hard time putting The Bear in that box.

Such a great episode, I love seeing more of Marcus too. He deserves all of the good things. I literally squealed at my screen when I saw Will Poulter show up in Copenhagen.

Enjoying the calm of this episode so much. Knowing this show, you know the chaos is just around the corner so it's nice to enjoy some peace.

PS. I know you have long Mondays sometimes. Ep 6 this season is considerably longer than others. Just over an hour.

You should look up the real Noma dishes, as good as the dishes look in this episode, it's truly something else. I'm lucky enough to live in Belgium, so near quite a few "affordable" 3 michelin star restaurants and if you like food you really owe it to yourself to visit them. If you stay away from the crazy wine and liquor lists, you can have the tasting menu for between €200 and €500. And yes, in the tasting menus you get the tiny dishes, but you won't go home hungry. It's something I saved up for when I was a broke student skipping some mediocre dining, and even now it's a one to two times a year thing. I've never regretted it once. Just watch out for the celebrity chef restaurants, both The Fat Duck (Heston Blumentahl) and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay are great, but you pay a premium for the celebrity, and you'd be better off by spending that in a different restaurant that is at least as good. I have no idea if the prices in the US are comparable to Europe though.

My non-controversial take is that The Bear is at its best when it focuses on the characters outside of the restaurant.

Marcus is such a sweetheart, I’m so glad he got a feature episode. Everything looked amazing – I should have been taking notes! I’ve done some of those techniques before, but man. (Yep, there are eggs in ice cream – the base for ice cream is crème anglaise, which can also be used on its own as sort of a sauce for cake or other desserts. It’s fabulous.) Also – Otis Redding for the win. Ok, don’t hate me – I kinda like Vegas Vacation...because that’s the first one that I saw as a kid, and therefore nostalgia logic.

You have a much wider skillset than I do. Also, everyone is forgiven for enjoying bad movies that full under the nostalgia umbrella. I will defend the original Roadhouse (which is swampy celluloid garbage) to all challengers.

Absolutely. We really get to know the characters better when they are away from work and have to spend time living with themselves, and it's always wonderful.

They were so great together, too! I would absolutely watch a show featuring the two of them working together in Denmark.

Comedian Ramy Youssef directed this episode. It is the first not directed by one of the show runners. It was Ramy's first directing credit & earned him an Emmy nom. Will Poulter was a fan of the show & contacted Chris Storer asking for a role. Just like other cast members, he trained in several London restaurants before filming. Will filmed this episode after wrapping Guardians & was unable to travel to Copenhagen so all his scenes were filmed in Chicago. I read an interview with Lionel Boyce (Marcus) where he discusses the scene with the bicyclist. He said it's a mirror of Marcus's relationship with his mom, how they communicate nonverbally. For Marcus the hug the man gives him is like getting a hug from his mom. (The bicyclist is a Danish food critic named Martin Kongstad.) One of the things I love about this season is the fact that we're getting to learn about who these characters are outside of the kitchen. IMO this is a show about the human condition masquerading as a show about a restaurant.

On the Christmas Hot Takes I agree Elf is overrated. I love Christmas Vacation but will concede I probably wouldn’t if it was made 10 years later and I didn’t like so many actors in other things.

Jonathan

I ended up watching last weeks episode and tonight’s back to back now I can go be sad that Baltimore doesn’t have as great of restaurant opportunities as Chicago or Europe

Very well said. I was thinking about this episode all day and it's definitely about how food can bring us together as well. I love this season so far. Strongest episode of the show IMO
