Following up from [[The Bear Season 2]] # Episode 1 I have no idea what's happening so far. It's just been a random collection of scenes over Carmy's time staging at the French Laundry (Where he sent cousin?), and Copenhagen (where bread guy was sent), and in New york? With asshole Joel McHale (who's hilarious) and the old chef lady from last season. Just reviewed notes, Chef Terry! That's her name. Every. Second. Counts. Looks like Carmy was also with bread guy's Copenhagen master in Chef Terry's kitchen. # Episode 2 Well this was an episode where everybody literally just yelled at each other for 25 mins lol. Carmy has a "non-negotiables" list so that they can get a Star. Some fancy restaurant shit. # Episode 3 Opening at Bread Guy's mom's funeral, it seems. They seem to be a lot more organized today. Ok just kidding, they're overwhelmed. And a bit sloppy. Started off REALLY strong lol. LOLOLO FAK! Aww why didn't he give them the food that's hilarious. "We're a restaurant, FAK" - The Bear OHH and he's trying to quit smoking too. Cousin and the Bear are driving this issue. They set the tone for the whole kitchen. Whatever's going on with them affects everyone else. Fak should NOT be on the floor. The dishwashers are overwhelmed. They're not making any profit. They're doing shit way too fancy. The Bear is falling apart fr. He's about to have a meltdown. Restaurant seems unsustainable. I'd leave. Do you really need to change the *entire* menu every day to get a Star? You can't just have a chef's special or some shit? God damn. That was a disaster of an episode lolollo. # Episode 4 I'm watching this and playing [[Golden Sun]] at the same time.. Soo my notes will probably not be as good, not that they're particularly good now lol. Open with Carmy and the girl he pushed away. at night, or in the dark. Anyway this show is still weird af. I have no idea what the point of that opening scene was. Bread guy is still sad. He turned on his mom's ventilator thing even though she's passed now. Sometimes it's hard to let go of routines. He noticed a vine flower on a fence, and took a picture of it. Sydney is moving out. Her dad is being very reasonable lol. Cousin took off his wedding ring! Britta's getting remarried, it's time... Yeah Ebra is not handling the window well at all. Why so messy? Wild. I guess he's basically by himself though, pretty hard. Does Britta's new boy want Cousin to be in the wedding?? Or rather not come. His name's Frank... wait. what did he do? Oh, he says he should have given cousin a heads up before asking her to get married. Sydney ran into some chef / writer maybe from the critics list?? SEE this is why good urban design is so important. You can have serendipitous moments on a train that you literally can't have in a car. lol they finna be reviewed. # Episode 5 Fuck!! Chef Terry is closing her restaurant!! Funeral dinner!! Damn, the restaurant business is fucking BRUTAL! the economics literally don't make sense. JOHN CENA IS A FAK?? Omg.. White families are so weird. Why are they "haunting" each other to say a password. They're basically children. they have a "computer" going through their financials. They're spending way too much. He wants to fire bread guy. I think he found another box of Mikey's stuff. Baby pics. i'm gonna finish this later. I'm deep into Golden Sun now and want to get back to that / youtube. Today was not a good anime day. # Episode 6 - Napkins I took a nap and now I'm back lol. Open on Tina the Latina. ANGEL! Aww dang I miss Dexter. Oh wait is this a flashback? Why she working in an office? Her hair is different, just noticed. She got laid off, that's fucked. Laying people off is so fucked. Folks don't even have an emergency fund. Ohh, she didn't tell him she got laid off. Tina Marrero. First time seeing her last name haha. LOL NOT THE MLM SEMINAR! This must have been how she found her way to the Chicago Beef. I like watching Tina enjoy food. She has a nice face. Mikey hired her! After a very honest conversation. Mike seems like he was a mostly good guy while he was alive. Except for that one christmas dinner, that was a total shit show. # Episode 7 - Legacy The episode titles are irrelevant but I feel like I should start adding them. The chef/reviewer dude Sydney ran into on the train offered her a partnership position. 80k and control, presumably. They fixed the window! Finally got Ebra some help with some of the old guys. Sugar's going into labor. Rip. You did it to yourself! # Episode 8 - Ice Chips Oh yeah, the baby episode lol. She called her mom, oh damn. The return of Jaime Lee! My god, why did you call her? Her mom is literally the worst person to be here in this situation. Lol her mom is literally insane. I don't know if I like this show. My god childbirth is TRAUMATIC! Drugs definitely help. # Episode 9 - Apologies Oh, are Cousin and The Bear finally gonna make up? Whatever the fuck it is that's happening between them is literally ruining the restaurant. Literally. Won't get a star that way. What's Ever? Maybe I missed something. Bro, CALL YO BITCH!! AND APOLOGIZE! It's not that serious. She loves you, and you love her. Enjoy your white paradisees. Sugar had the baby, Sydney brought food to them. Her package was only 70k for The Bear, but the other dude was offering 80k + bonuses and benefits. Soooo, it's a worse deal. Grass is always greener, wonder how she's gonna lean. Plot armor dictates she stays with the bear but it could also be a prodigal daughter situation in season 4 or 5. If they make it that far. Fak and Ted?? other Fak go talk to Claire to get her to forgive the bear I guess. Bro, just call her damn! # Episode 10 - Forever Another flashback opening. Chef Terry's Girl LIKES COUSIN!! JESS! Big flirty eyes, he should ask her out. Lol copenhagen white bread boy is kinda bad at talking Ohh, the critic guy that's trying to poach Sydney was from Chef Terry's restaurant. I remember now. Joel McHale's asshole character is at Terry's restaruant funeral and is STARING HIM DOWN! I like the way these Chefs are talking about their craft. It is noble, it's an important job. But it's so hard. O shit... Bear is about to punch this nigga in the face or something. Well, that confrontation was anti-climactic. Couldn't even say shit back. Just goes to show the people that harm you most literally don't give a single fuck about your existence. Sydney's hosting the afterparty at her empty apartment lollol. So cute. Damn Syd is in full panic mode over leaving. Girl just choose, it's fine! Ohh.... the tribune review was NOT GREAT! Shit. Welp.. finna be another full year until we find out what happens with the crew I guess.
