I wish Anthony Bourdain was still around to see this. The Bear is one of those things that you know he had been all over.
I wish he had been all over being a part of his daughter's life.
@@christianlarson4201 oh yes, because that’s how depression works. Silly me for not being just the worst. Silver lining- he wrote his last book specifically for her, so at least she has that. (Along with his extensive catalog of his travels and other books) Depression doesn’t care about ‘nothin y’all.
@@hanksilman4016 depression is a treatable illness, but I guess he couldn't afford treatment.
If someone has cancer, and a family, and doesn't get the best treatment they have access to, they are neglecting their responsibility to their family. I don't care about the illness, if you're neglecting treatment, that's on you.
@@christianlarson4201 and just like with cancer, treatment does not always work. Depression is not a consistent illness to begin with. So you can feel great one day and terrible the same night out of nowhere
@@christianlarson4201 depression doesnt work like that - you dont just go I need to get help. You actively avoid the it. As it gets worse, it consumes you. In simple terms the color in your life is just muted and dull. You can still have happy moments and enjoy things, but its always off and it gets harder to just get started. Eventually you question meaning.
Depression is complex and different for everyone too. Its hard for someone who hasnt been through it to understand it. And even for those who have gone through it can sometimes lack the empathy because they roughed it out. There is many reasons - but from how I understand it and experience it depression is the one thing that ignores reason and sense because it is by all definitions a contradiction. Your logic versus your logic. You typically have the answers but the start button just isn't there or keeps stalling.
as for your cancer statement - I would never want my family to suffer for my selfish need to want them alive. If they have lost their desire to fight and its progressed significantly - I would never fault someone for just wanting their final days to be at peace than the stress of doctors and treatment.
I also love that they cast people who look like real people. That cannot be emphasized enough. Often times you look at some of these actors and you're like "wtf is someone who looks like that working as a (Insert job here that's not an actor or model)?"
With ONE exception, being a certain Fak that seems to have no resemblance to the rest of the family 😂
@@Simple_City I mean he's not really related to the berzattos just like Richie isn't
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 I meant Sammy Fak not looking like the other Faks. I personally thought the John Cena cameo was pretty funny but it's impossible to believe he's related to the other Faks brothers haha
You got to imagine post shooting, the meals for the crew would be IMMACULATE with how they actually cooked the food
This show really helps create the anxiety of a work place and not just "this is hard"...something not easy to do.
The Doors episode was triggering my PTSD as someone who used to work in hospitality😂they captured the chaos the anxiety and stress during service and the conflicts between FOH and BOH so well
As someone who is managing anxiety I can attest that it very accurately depicts anxiety and therefore triggers anxiety 😂 😅 and that's why I don't binge watch this show. I watch 1 maybe 2 in one sitting.
Yep! I can't watch it much anymore. There's a good reason I left the food biz.
The only thing they didn't recreate about working in a kitchen is the heat. My first job was as a kitchen hand working in an Italian restaurant, long before going to culinary school, and the thing is the heat. A working kitchen has little ventilation and with all those gas burners the average on a night was about 32C in the kitchen I worked in. In summer time that was even higher topping out some nights around 40C. You sweat like a pig and are constantly on the go. Best and worst workout you'll ever have.
But to be honest you’re always so immersed in your work you barely even notice the heat
couple years ago in a place i worked we used a laver point thermometer on the ceiling "for fun"
48°C
with humidity
i remember having to dry my face with a towel every 15 minutes to avoid sweating on the plates
it was a very small kitcher, with a boiler, a flat stove, a big friyer, an oven and a pizza oven
the pizzaiolo actually argued that his position was better because "it's hotter, but at least it's dry"
Writing a character, from the ground up is hard enough, yet they have crafted in a believable way how they would express themselves through cooking.
I can't stress enough how REAL this show is! I am working as a sous chef in a 1 star michelin restaurant. Everytime when customers ask for changes or variations of a dish we LITERALLY GO INSANE! Sadly most civilists can't relate at all, they think the service part is making us nuts smh.
One of the best realistic and emotional TV show ever. Thank you for your dedication to educate your viewers too.
Totally agree! This show is truly like no other!
2:07 "Simple tasks like making sauces."
My brother, there is nothing simple about making a sauce in fine dining. It's probably the most difficult job in the kitchen (not in terms of stress, but in skill).
@@mskcrc Appreciate the perspective here, as I’ve never worked in a restaurant myself. Thanks!
@@trevscinema Make a "cheater" demiglace out of a leftover rotisserie chicken carcass. It will change your life.
This show was so real I stopped watching after the 3rd episode. It gave me PTSD. I worked from casual to currently fine dining. It was too much. My apple watch told me my heart rate was shooting up while watching…
Solid video! I liked how you did a deep dive into the production and broke the show down into different parts! Well done.
Great analysis! I love that the production took the time to listen the language of food and chefs.
Fak reminds me of my friend who was the head cook when me and him both worked the line in a restaurant. He looks like him ,sounds like him and more or less acts like him the into difference is he was basically the in the lead position where as fak is on the lower end of the hierarchy.
Hahah!! The restaurant industry definitely produces some crazy characters!
Thats gotta be so cool not only to write different characters culinary backgrounds, but their own personal palates and dishes.
Props to you, this was a very well thought out and straight-to-the-point video which I enjoyed immensely...I don't usually sub to random videos I click but I watched yours from start to end, great job dude!
I love this attention to detail. This makes me want to go back to culinary school just to brush up. Beautiful show.
PS: Your flow is top notch. Just got a buttload of info and the video felt longer in a good way to have just experience 5 mins like I did.
How do you only have 200 subscribers? I just subscribed and was your 200 but still. How? That’s actually crazy for the quality of video you pump out. Big fan.
I mean, a big part of the show's success was the recognition and promotion it got from the hospitality industry. I've never seen a show capture the stress, passion, suffering, and elation that a good shift can bring you. It's just a masterpiece in its own way
Great insight and amazing video. Keep up the good work!
Its always the shows/movies that are acutely aware of how tied they are to real life that do the best. Mr. Robot did so well because they didn't do overly fantastical hacking. The Bear did the same thing. I never worked in fine dining, but I have worked in a restaurant for 3 years. The tension feels the exact same.
Great break down dude. Great editing
Love the Video but come on give Courtney Storer credits in the title too, she deserves it
181 SUBS AND THIS QUALITY THO???? WHAAAAT
Fantastic video, I don’t comment or like much videos but you earned it. Earned a subscriber to your videos
I am watching this purely because of this vid you did and the fact that Matty is in it!
I feel like nobody that actually works in the high end service industry enjoys watching the bear. It’s well done no doubt, but not what you do on a day off.
Matty made the show!? Now i gotta watch it
Great video keep it up bud
Brought a bigger role for himself in s3 as well.
I was looking for this comment
Now i want to watch it
Realism is a stylized realism
nice video, very informative.
Very nicely put. Great analysis.
Now do it again, 50 times. We've got guests.
“Yes chef fck me” I laughed for way too long at that 😂
how does this dude only have 315 subs
amazing video
in your next video i would highly reccomend turning down the background music and talk with a little bit more flow instead of almost sounding like you are rushing thru your script. other than that great video, and you will def. get more subs, didn't even realize that you had less then 300 subs before scrolling down.
Today I learned there’s a wrong way to hold a spoon
Good content. You gotta shorten titles so it all fits in CZcamss text limit before "..."
the best 5 star
0:52 Brother?
slight fumble 😅
check out “waiting”
Maybe Turn the music down a bit but otherwise great vid
Heard, chef. Appreciate the feedback!
@@trevscinema keep making videos! 🫡
Maybe I was the only person that didn't know Matty was an actual chef. I thought he knew more than he let on though.
Really great breakdown, but good lord dude, I'd need all all my fingers and all my toes to count how many times you used the words "empowered" and "craft" etc
*real cook*
She’s the brother?
loved the video but PLEASE remove the drop shadow from the intro (text) and outro (popcorn)
I still don’t get how it’s a comedy 💀
so wierd to see lip from shameless
My one professional chef friend hates this show, but has never seen it. I don't get it.
S3 was a little disappointing, but I've enjoyed the show so far
I make a better piccata than carmy. Don’t need too much heat his was a browned butter split mess. My only critique of the show.
I despise the title of “Chef”
I strictly prohibit ppl from calling me chef. Mostly because if you yell “chef” and 5 ppl turn around then it’s not achieving its goal.
Working on the Vegas strip, it got so watered down. So many ppl insisted on being called that. The only ppl who didn’t care were the ppl who had the skills or knowledge associated with someone of that caliber.
Yea first season......than it took a giant dump on everyone.
Wow. Imagine if they got cancelled after a few episodes? All that training for nothing.
The Bear is a great show, I think Matty is funny, but I wouldn't call him a chef. He does alot of questionable things when he's cooking if you ever watch his content.
I am going to sound like a bit of a hater here but Matty has never actually worked in a kitchen, he owns a restaurant now but he taught himself to cook at home
The worst part is you're just wrong, he's worked in kitchens since 2003.
Yeah, but the focus on them (Faks )vs the Berzattos doesn’t track, bogged down Season 3 with weird inside jokes that didn’t add to story. Appreciate the skills but inserting his character into every scene, it is a big nope for me.
The Faks represent the emotional immaturity that Carmy is dealing with. The whole 'haunting' schitck is just recognizing/manifesting the self-imposed guilt that would be absolved if you just apologize to the people you care about, which Carmy hasn't really done. That's for a start.
This last song was fucking HORRIBLE
The only good part of that dumbass show are him and his brother, the newest season was garbage, they were the ONLY good part.
Matty is cool but I’ve also heard in local scenes that he’s a cut throat clout chaser. Great chef, great food. Just wish I didn’t hear so many unlikable things about him.
Matheson is such a gross dude
Big fan of The Bear but dude do you have to swear so much??
Yes. It is a realistic kitchen show.
This show is pretentious garbage.
Tell us, without telling us, that you have never set foot in a real commercial kitchen 🤣 this show is so accurate that it's closer to a documentary than a series. Remember that next time you send back your medium-well steak to be fired again
@@lukeinkson no fr ive never seen a show that more accurately depicts what its like to work in a kitchen.. ive never worked in fine dining but ive worked as a line cook, dishwasher, delivery driver, server and whatnot and the chaos is so accurate lol
