I get he’s going through a lot but Carmy is so frustrating (Richie too). You would have hoped they put things into perspective after the funeral but I guess not. Agreed, Carmy's expectations are so unrealistic, this isn’t The French Laundry and most of the staff have no experience in fine dining. Also, you can’t get a star if you’re not open because you bought too much ‘dystopian’ butter, lol. So many things to say about The Faks after your comments but spoilers. The music is the star of the episode for sure.

Love your reaction! Regarding the music/soundtrack: I truelybelieve it was all intentionally and planned. The soundtrack usually matches the scene and the Taylor Swift call back between episodes was intentionally and placed well before. Also: I heard a lot of top-tier chef saying, that there were attracted to the vision of orchestrating the kitchen - which makes it easy to feel connected to dramatical classic music during busy kitchen times. Anyway, great episode to watch with you! ❤️

This episode was directed by Duccio Fabbri. He has been the first assistant director since season 1. He had previously directed a documentary but this is his first directing credit for a scripted show. This episode was written by Chris Storer & Will Guidara. Will Guidara is a restauranteur who once co-owned a hospitality group that owned Eleven Madison Park & the NoMad restaurants (New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas). He wrote the book "Unreasonable Hospitality" that Richie was reading in S2E7. The book is about customer service & creating "extraordinary experiences for guests." While I am not the biggest fan of opera or classical music, I love the way they are used here. There are six separate pieces played in this episode, but 3 of them have super long titles so I won't list them. One of the things I keep up with in shows I watch is passage of time. And this show is really inconsistent about that. For instance, in season 2 one day stretched over 2 episodes but this episode covers a month. I don't mind it though. I like the fact that each episode is really it's own thing but I know there are people out there who truly dislike that every episode doesn't follow the same format. I love the "show don't tell" approach used in this episode. I think actually seeing what's happening is so much more informing than having the characters tell us about what's going on in the restaurant.

Carmy is more frustrating than Richie in my opinion. I think Richie is being a child too but Carmy is actually in charge.

Are you guys thinking about doing uncut reactions with The Bear too by chance? We don't have Hulu so it gets out of sync. If not that's fine, just wanted to ask.

Finally had a chance to catch up here… Oof! We’re back to ultra-stress. Brilliantly done, but man. Yes! Some really fantastic music choices here! I think they open with Verdi’s La Traviata, which is appropriate because that opera starts with a party…and then everything goes downhill. But the most exciting choice to my mind is right when things really start to go awry and the tickets(?) get brushed off the table — the piece there is Dance Macabre by Saint Saens. It’s a wicked little tune, the kind of thing that sounds like the imps came out to play… if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/YyknBTm_YyM?si=YlwfJkliZSAV0eGM&t=295
