Purpose chef

Food tours are so amazing! Usually when I do one, I usually prep by not eating for awhile lol.

I thought it was obvious she wasn't eating the entire dish each time but taking a few mouthfuls of each one to understand the flavours and textures.

walking/transiting definitely helps, instead of sitting in a car lol

I did the same thing in Japan; two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and whatever dessert, snacks and alcohol I could find. It helped that I was walking a good 10 - 20 kms a day

None is complaining about it!

I didn't know who any of the people who Sydney was talking to were, but I just knew that they were non-actors and actual people in the restaurant industry. They just sounded too authentic and genuine to be acting.

@@semafodje782 I know some industry people and they love this show. I'm sure the folks who appeared here were thrilled at the opportunity.

I did a food tour of Chicago some 10 years ago - Hot Doug's, Blackbird, Alinea, a seafood shack on a bridge that was awesome although I can't recall the name...now I just want to go back and do it again...honestly love that city but I'm too wimpy to deal with the climate.

her acting is amazing.

She displays integrity and surprise that makes you want to know more about where she is going as a professional

Did that one that closed in the show close in real life too?

Myeah well you just pointed out the issue here...the soundtrack takes over at times.

@@anmnouI’ve literally never thought they nor known anyone who did. 😂😂

We got some good food here. Visit soon.

She don’t trust Carmy lol and I don’t blame her, kids a mess

@@ScottSterling21 she's a mess too

​@@alicelulutzshe might be a mess in some way but Carmy is radioactive. That dude REALLY need professional help

⁠@@johans3164exactly he needs professional help😂 I feel like some people are convinced she’s worse than Carmen like no…

@@Ziyasinterlude All through the show I kept thinking Carmen and his family need therapy. Badly.

I did the same!

Yes, it's such a great nod to culinary experts of Chicago. Literally my favorite place to just eat and walk everywhere.

By walking.

She did!!!

And the Emmy❤

That restaurant (Verdana) isn't real, the real name is called Giant and it's still very much open

@@greyblueme9711 I mean that later in the show Sydney passes by and the place is closed

I don't think he meant overwhelming as in constantly being around the guests, but as in "overwhelmingly good at their job" - good service can really make or break a restaurant.

@@karolineCPH That makes sense, I think you're right.

I think what he was saying it's to watch and learn from the customer to see what they need some people like when their servers are attentive and some like it when they're left alone but not forgotten

some of them yeah

Avec is real.

All of them are real, only thing that isn't is just walking into Kasama, it takes a hour and a half at least of standing in line before you can order.

@@x4president1 The French bistro she visits is also fictional.

Yes, most of them are. The Publican and Avec are two of the best restaurants in the city.

I'm wondering the same thing

rlly late but usually when you're tasting food like this, you take like 4 bites max to get all of the flavors textures etc. you arent rlly eating it like you would have a meal ,, more like studying it like an art

Kasama?

Here we go with this b.s. just say you can't connect to a black woman character and go on with life.

I can tell you lack experience with watching and analyzing a show. She's supposed to be new to the bear. The ebar is filled with chaos and trauma and to have someone who doesn't fit that mold but rather helps everyone find something new and reclaim their love is what makes the show wonderful.

I think she’s a perfect character for this show. This show relies on ‘show don’t tell’ or natural reveals of character and exposition. She’s the new kid on the block that asks the natural questions that unfold the plot without it being monologue-y. She the first person to trust Carmy’s decisions because she admires him meanwhile the other characters were very rigid and stuck in their ways. Obviously, she’s connected to the restaurant. She’s coming out of a past where her own business tanked and this is her second chance to shine and partner with a Michelin man. She’s talented, but green and overly ambitious/bordering impatient and it makes for an interesting dynamic with the other characters. I’ll agree that the second season was trying to push the carmy romance with that girl and it kind of sidelined syd making her feel very second thought. I didn’t like that. She’s a passionate young female chef and It’s important to have her perspective. If she didn’t care or wasn’t connected she wouldn’t be building a menu for this restaurant or going on a food tour. I wish they showed the process of building the menu more tbh.

Are u even payin attention to the show? She literally said every Sunday her dad use to take her to get Italian beef sandwiches at that restaurant. So stop making up stuff.

@@neonrays28why is the immediate response to always feel defensive over race? Weird
