Here's our reaction to The Bear 1x7! This one was HIGHLY anticipated!
Everyone keeps telling us to watch this show. So we finally got around to it!
Join us as we follow a young chef, Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, after he inherits his family's Italian beef sandwich shop after the suicide of his older brother. He comes home to Chicago to run it, leaving behind his world of working in a Michelin star restaurant. He is left to deal with his brother's unresolved debts, a rundown kitchen, and an unruly staff, while dealing with his own pain and family trauma.

I just love how people just skip over how crappy Richie behaved all season most of it aimed at Sydney, and how dysfunctional carmy’s communication skill’s are and just immediately stock pile the blame on Sydney. I’m not saying by any means is she blameless but multiple people contributed to this meltdown.

@progfrogg 9 ай бұрын

to be fair, in THIS particular episode. Sydney is to blame. she made mistakes that led to this meltdown. and decided to leave the kitchen and let them fend for themselves. it's her fault.

@@progfrogg The writers on this show does an excellent job in my opinion of showing that nothing happens in a vacuum wether that be in a business or family dynamic, so when this blowup happens you can pinpoint multiple things that lead them to it carmy’s lack of leadership skills and yes he does lack them because screaming, cursing and pushing is not leading, richies antagonistic attitude, Marcus’s lack of focus, and Sydney’s impatience and temper all led to their failure.

@@jordanmorris4797 She left the orders open, and the reason so many orders came in was because of her stunt of giving her dish to someone. I get what you're saying.. but in reality it was Sydney's fault for the meltdown. it was only the after math that the rest of them made it worse with their own faults.

It was Sydney who still had the preorder option enabled on the tablet thus voiding "everyone need to know how to use the tablet" talking point. Her new dish she gave to a costumer who was a food critic thus it appeared in the newspaper and led to the chaos in this episode as people wanted to experience it. That is a big definite no-no in said business. She should have presented it during Family first. Then she quits.

@@cordovalark5295 I do realize where Sydney went wrong so I do get where people are coming from when they’re criticizing that character, but I also have worked in kitchens professionally for over twenty years and what carmy did was also a big no no you don’t leave the setup of something that important to one of your employees, and if he really didn’t want to do or didn’t think his restaurant was ready for such an endeavor which he clearly didn’t then be a leader and let your no mean just that

This episode is unbelievable. If it hadn't been done in one-take, it would've been good, but the way the camera puts you in the kitchen, moving amidst the chaos, trying to make sense of it all (and, for people who have worked in restaurants, knowing exactly what needs to be done but being overwhelmed nonetheless), it's non-stop anxiety. Bravo

As someone that’s never worked in a kitchen, I was blown away. Can’t imagine how it would have felt for those with the experience. Brilliant episode.

@@PhilipManzano I was listening to a podcast host who used to work in the industry. The restaurant found out they got a review from the NYT when the review came out and the host realized she had actually waited on the reviewer. The restaurant didn’t know that was a reviewer and when the review came out, they got slammed, just like in this episode. A good review is a double edged sword. Wow.

@chance757 9 ай бұрын

there was no intentional “disrespect” on sydney’s part when she gave the dish away; no ulterior motives or willful disobedience the way i think you guys were thinking. she had an extra of a dish she was proud of so instead of dumping it, she gave it to one of her guests. she had no way of knowing who he was. carmy said her previous employer’s carmy described her as “incredibly talented and incredibly green”. her inexperience showed through here but i don’t think it should be a strike against her. when i worked in food service, we gave excess away all the time! she probably didn’t think any further than that.

@PhilipManzano 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I think the “green-ness” of her is what’s most obvious there. Might not have been any ill-intent.. but it was an uncalculated move, especially if your head chef told you it was not ready to serve. Law of unintended consequences.

@LadyScaper 9 ай бұрын

Some restaurants when trying stuff out, will serve stuff not in the menu. It’s not unusual. Just in this case, it ended up with a critic. Most of the time restaurants don’t know what critics look like and critics keep it that way, even down to using disguises.

@MadisonApitz 4 ай бұрын

You were both right on the Carmy dish rejection - he told her it was tremendous but not perfect and that the dish was missing something, but he also told her early in the development of the dish that risotto has a crazy prep time and they didn’t have the staff, pans, etc. to facilitate adding it to the menu full time. The vibe wasn’t vibing overall

@samueldevine1772 5 ай бұрын

Choas was cause by Sydney interntional or not 1000%. She gave teh risotto away to the food critic, unknowing it was a critic, which created extra buzz and extra popularity for the restaurant. Then messed up the to go service and left the pre order open, which probably had even more orderrs because of the review from the critic. Then couldnt take responsibility for her, yes, mistakes. Couldnt handle it. Then obviously richie and the chaos broke her.

@PhilipManzano 5 ай бұрын

I agree. She definitely deserves a lot of the blame here. Not all of it. But for this one day and the things that led up to it, she shares a lot of responsibility. Really didn't like her response at the end of the episode. I get that she was getting treated poorly throughout the episode and even leading up to it. But this situation in particular has a lot of Syd on it.

@justlive2809 8 ай бұрын

i mean Richie bullied Sydney since the start then he say she did sexual favor to a critics and her leaving and talking back to Richie is on her?! hell no she did a lot of mistakes but in this situation i kinda have her back ..

The song choice was fantastic. Spiders by Wilco, sounds like the live version too. Starts with a basic beat and bass line and by the end, it's just a cacophony of absolute feedback and chaos. Remember this song because it comes back at the end of season 2 and it's a completely different feel in presentation.

Carmy is not a good boss. He has an ego, can see co-wokers as his competition (Sydney and the good review she got for the risotto) and has a poor communications skills. He said about the risotto that it's "not perfect" and that was that, but he should have told her why, they should have talked about it and maybe make it better because he is really skilled etc.. Remember Sydney told Carmy she did not want to do the hierarchy thing, that she will get all the bullshit for everything but he insisted without really listening. If you noticed he was throwing a lot of stuff on Sydney this whole time, taking her for granted (If he did not want to do the to-go thing he should have talked with her about it. He also let her prepare the system and he didn't review it before he turned it on - also doing it while she is out of the room. Did Sydney do a mistake? Maybe, it would not be too strange when she is always overloaded with responsibility. But Carmy should have been there for her.). He is obviously going through his own shit, but it bleeds into the restaurant and that is not good. I know why he's like that, and I love him. Sydney (and all of them, really) has her own flaws, but this episode cannot be taken on it's own - it's a culmination of everything, in the worst possible way. This episode is a masterpiece. Why are people shocked/disappointed by Sydney when she snaps at Richie? Because didn't you watch how the tension between them is growing these past episodes? He represents the old, and Sydney the new. Did you also not hear all the nasty things Ritchie called her? Everybody has their limit, and even if the things she said to him are ugly, I don't really blame her. Also she didn't stab Richie, he walked on the knife but she shouldn't have hold it like that, yeah). People are messy. This meltdown was unavoidable and I hope they all will learn from it.

@jordancharles8598 9 ай бұрын

Carmy is not a bad boss either... You clearly have based your entire viewpoint from the perspective of Sydney, but her having "reasons" for doing or saying things does not change the reality of her actions. The same way it doesn't for Carmy or Richie.

@novembermedusa 9 ай бұрын

Yes, everyone has their reasons, that's why it's all so complicated and interesting. I don't think any of them is in the right. they all messed up in their own ways. Carmen can hype people and has a potential to be a good boss, but he is grieving and is unfocused, or focused on the wrong things. That for me makes it a better story too. I might have written mostly about Sydney, but the person I most identify with is Carmen. That's just my opinion. @@jordancharles8598

@@jordancharles8598 Carmy did what had to be done in that situation: he took charge in a dictatorial manner, which is what needs to happen in any kitchen during a rush where everyone is behind on everything. I've seen it, I've been there. That's not what makes him a bad boss. What makes him a bad boss is the fact that he sat down with Sydney and they agreed they didn't want The Beef to be like the restaurants they had worked at, with CDCs who would berate and humiliate the staff, but when it came down to it, Carmy was a dick to everyone around him. Taking the reins was necessary, being verbally abusive to the staff like the NYC chef was not.

@@tejida815was she supposed to just sit and take the insult? Rewatching the season, I notice any time Sydney pushes back against Richie, he says she is being unreasonable.
