I remember there being a little controversy when this episode came out because of the style change. I still don’t understand it; this episode is so beautiful and moving, and still manages some great callbacks.

I add this episode to my list of "Impossible Table Reads". The Wire "Fuck" scene is also on it. 🤩

I absolutely loved it. It was a wonderful way to follow through Carmy's broken memory line. A perfect example of showing, not telling.

The guy staring at the pictures of the dishes in the greenhouse of the restaurant is René Redzepi the Chef of Noma in Copenhagen. Multiple times chosen as the best restaurant in the world, but now closed as it was no longer sustainable to perform at that level.

“This whole episode is him figuring out that he’s not ok.” — I think that’s a really good way to put it. And kudos to the filmmakers for allowing the episode to be so quiet. Absolutely - this was visual storytelling at it’s finest. Speaking of flexes, this episode featured (briefly) a couple incredible real-life chefs: Daniel Boulud and Rene Redzepi. Both of them are titans. On food as art - It’s a small detail, but I love that Carmy draws out the dishes he’s thinking of. I don’t know if it’s a common thing among chefs, but I know Jaques Pepin often did/does these really wonderful watercolors of his menus. Also - I’m curious about the burn on Carmy’s palm we see at the very beginning. We return to a couple of times, but I don’t think we ever saw how it happened - or did I miss it? It looks only about a week old (I’ve lots of kitchen burns over the years). It would be strange to draw attention to such a thing if it didn’t have significance.

Fantastic! I love Bourdain & was so sad when he passed... I have a copy of his Le Halles cookbook, and it has - by far and away - the best roast chicken recipe on the planet. And yes, I will die on this hill, lol :)

This 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. On Hulu, the description of this episode is, "The next day and the days that led to it" & I think that sums it up nicely. Jeremy Allen White has said this episode is about Carmy being inspired & falling in love with cooking & the challenge of it while also showing that he "uses work & solitude to deal with his trauma." (I would argue he isn't really dealing with his trauma, he's hiding from it.) The NYC restaurant Carmy worked at was Daniel. Owner & chef Daniel Boulud appeared as himself & was showing Carmen how to prepare sea bass paupiettes which he is apparently famous for. https://www.danielnyc.com/ The song that plays over this episode is another Nine Inch Nails track called "Together." It has a runtime of 10:03 so it's played 3 times here. The person Claire was in bed with was her friend Kelly who went to The Bear opening with her and who Carmy & Claire went to the party to cheer up in S2E5. The "guy from Dexter" (or from Oz to me) is David Zayas, the real-life husband of Liza Colon-Zayas (Tina). David also has a connection to Gillian Jacobs as he was in the play "The Little Flower of East Orange" with her & Liza. The chef who works for Chef Terry & did the pizza is Adam Shapiro - his actual name & character's name. I have seen this episode a dozen times but I had to turn on the CC to figure out that when Richie is knocking on the door he says, "Yo Mikey, let's get the f**k out of here." I'm glad you enjoyed this one & as always, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

What a beautifully made episode. I love seeing all of these little moments all intertwined together. I agree, it is a rewarding episode to those who've watched so far. Everything here has a purpose that's for sure. My favourite episode of this season is number six so I'm looking forward to that. Also, fun fact, the guy consoling Tina at the funeral (who you said is from Dexter) is her real life husband.

Loved this episode. Well crafted and downright beautiful. He may be hiding, I really hope him emerging from the freezer is him starting to embrace it

Regarding the burn. My thought is he's obviously emotionally hurt and maybe it's symbolizing that. It looked like it was healing and maybe (hopefully) that's where we're headed this season. I could be completely wrong but that's my guess.
