Restaurant Shows, Ranked by Stressfulness
How many antacids will you need to watch The Bear?
It’s like, you think you have enough to be stressed about when you’re working for an arrogant celebrity chef who you have a mortifyingly huge crush on because even though he is an ass he will do things like reach around you to physically show you how to cut onions properly, and then on top of that, you have to worry about a fucking ghost taking over your body?? Some of those things to be considered are as follows: the 10,000 story lines Feed the Beast needs to keep up, the absolutely batshit-crazy decision-making going on by every character; the fact that the big bad is a Polish mafia guy nicknamed the Tooth Fairy and he is the least-intimidating person with pliers you’ll ever see; the number of murders happening around this restaurant; the fluctuating levels of New York accent Sturgess will use in any given scene; and the bonkers cliffhanger it ends on. You’d think a series based on an Anthony Bourdain book on the restaurant industry would be a little spicier (pun extremely intended), but this Bradley Cooper vehicle is more wacky sitcom than gritty workplace drama.
