Let’s Unpack The Bear’s Emotional Baggage
The kinfolk, culinary, competitive, and collaborative relationships to bear in mind before digging into season three.
In its first season, we watched wunderkind chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto ( Jeremy Allen White) return home to Chicago to take over his brother Mikey’s (Jon Bernthal) failing sandwich shop The Beef. With no small amount of conflict, Carmy and sous-chef Sydney “Syd” Adamu ( Ayo Edebiri) transform The Beef’s chaotic staff, led by Mikey’s loud, sarcastic, belligerent best friend, Richie ( Ebon Moss-Bachrach), into a tightly focused crew intent on doing their best every day.
