- WHOS READY TO BE ANXIOUS!!!! I am! After working in a restaurant in Chicago, watching a show about people working in a restaurant in Chicago feels a bit counterintuitive but years after the first episode dropped and years after I worked in a restaurant I think it's time to experience the hit show and Chefslpain every moment of it

If just this first episode made you wanna fistfight people, the rest of the 3 seasons will put you in a straight-jacket. Hang in there!
Out of everyone I've seen reacting to The Bear, you're definitely the best along with Justin Khanna. It's weird to watch a show about restaurant work when you work at a restaurant, but for whatever reason watching an actual cook/chef react to a restaurant show is weirdly relaxing lol
You calling out the fancy mayo and cousin complaining about it a minute later is hilarious!
Kewpie mayonnaise is not fancy mayo 😂 at least not here in Asia. But yes it’s fire
@@magicomerv She probably knows its not actually "fancy" but we think of it like that because it's not common in the US 🙂 I would guess maybe 10% of Americans know Kewpie exists, it's not common in US grocery stores, especially outside of big cities or areas a larger Asian population. I wish it was more well known and available, I like it better than US mayonnaise and if more people tried it and started using it, the price would go down a bit 😋
@@striderdavid I see! Thanks for the context! Yeah kewpie makes everything better hahahah
Offices are families like a tree plantation is a forest. A kitchen is a family like a pirate crew is. Fight til the last gasp, lots of talk of mutiny, and everyone's got a story.
I still think its funny the only professional chef in the main cast is just a handyman 😆
Who else but Matty 😂 mans a troll and I love him
looooved hearing your perspective on everything! Can't wait to see more
This has been the most insightful and enjoyable reaction i have seen of this episode. I liked that you paused the video to explain things. Definitely would like you to continue to react to the series and get your thoughts on the evolution of the restaurant and characters.
Also i notice no one mentioned Matty Matheson. He plays Fak, the handy man and Carm's friend. He is an actual chef , restauranteur and cookbook author. He refused to play a chef on the show so he is Fak. The zany family friend who helps fix stuff and tries to get meals as often as possible. Check out his YT channel or his shows on Vice YT.
Hope you continue the journey. Glad i found your channel going to check out your other content and subscribe ❤
Very insightful and entertaining! Looking forward to more!
Marcus the baker is the best. He loves his job, he loves his family, and he's open to learn.
the bear is one of my absolute favorite shows at the moment and your perspective on this first episode was really fun and enlightening! i enjoy the show most as a larger allegory for how deeply an artist's passion for their work can affect their life outside of work, and how both a student's admiration for a teacher's commitment and a student's struggle with a teacher's high standards can cross from generation to generation, as the learning process goes on in artistic fields. it always seemed true to life as someone who's never worked in a kitchen, but it's really interesting to get your anecdote stories of how accurately the culinary world used to tell that story is depicted!
the bear has a few fun cameos from famous actors, and also some famous figures in the culinary world, so spotting those will definitely be a good time if you do continue. which i'd love to see! your reaction to episode 7, 'Review', will be a real treat.
"I fucking hate this show and cannot wait to continue". I love you. ma'am. Worked in the industry way too long with my ADHD ass and the PTSD came rushing the fuck on when I had my initial viewing.
As someone who watches a stupid amount of tv/movies/media, this is now a top 5 show of all time for me, and I've watched all the best ranked ones before lol Pretty sure I've watched every CZcams reaction there is as well. Great reaction, better then 85% on here, seriously. U know how many ppl thought the Dad died and left Carmy the shop and not his brother? TOO MANY, which u got right away. Also LOVE that u pause to talk, seriously I can't express how much I love it, cus I don't understand how ppl can keep the show running while they talk over it, like hello ur clearly going to miss shit! Especially a fast paced show like this. And that u looked up the info on foie gras, ANAZING. If I can kindly offer some suggestions if u continue, which I pray that u do cus seriously this was a fantastic reaction! But yeah, in ur own words u paused a lot, and that's not 2 say u talked to much, but sometimes there feels like natural pause points, so if u feel u can make a quick comment about something without pausing (eg omg that's so true, they got that right for sure etc) Try and wait for those breaks to pause and talk longer (as someone with adhd/asd I understand the need to feel like u gotta get it out asap or you'll forget!) Or a long summary at the end if u feel like taking notes to refer back to, though I like the pause style better. This also allows u to show longer clips and speaking of which, it'd be great to show more of the show, like I know there's some sort of limit on how many minutes u can show, fair use copyright shit etc, buy yeah the more of the show u can put in the better! And lastly sorry for this horribly long comment, it's the audhd, and the fact that again, I think this show is actually a fucking masterpiece everyone should watch and I just absolutely loved ur reaction and had to request u please please do more! And as quickly as u can cause I'm a fiend like that hahaha Good luck and I hope to see ur next vid soon, as I do daily searches for new Bear reactions 🙃😂🤣
Your reaction was pretty neat. Hope you continue the show. It's always refreshing to see the perspective of someone that has experience in the field
Yeah I need more of this!
I love the details, 😂 I love that you want to continue & I love how the characters grow on you so excited to see you enjoying this journey
I have to warn you every season has a crazy stressful episode:
For Season 1 it's *Episode 7*
For Season 2 it's *Episode 6*
So prepare what you need to relax before hand
❤ all love, wish you the best 🙏🏽
Yes please keep watching it truly is a wonderful anxiety driven show
My god I hope you keep watching this series can’t wait for you to see ep 3😂😅
I saw this in my feed a couple days ago, and I'm not sure why I didn't watch it.
So the guy who plays Neil Fak (the mechanic they have on call to fix things) is Matty Matheson, who in real life is an actual chef and restaurateur. He also serves as a producer and culinary consultant on the show. He didn't want to portray a chef but like you said gotta have a handyman.
Just randomly came across this in my feed and loved the commentary from a culinary perspective. It actually had me looking up a few of the things you pointed out online to give them a try in the kitchen myself. Thank you.
This was a great video, thank you for sharing. I can't wait for more thoughts from you. I run the kitchen in an Elementary school and I love my job, but the kitchen is really small so I'm burning myself all the time.
i need more chefsplaining pLEASE
I love the insight that you give in the videos! Please do more of theseee
I baked bread at Tiffany's Bakery in Yorktown Mall in Lombard for a while (I'm pretty sure I put them out of business...its a whole story). I also waited tables at Bennigan's in Woodridge (I'm pretty sure I didn't contribute to it going out of business though). I did a turn doing pantry and dishes at Bennigan's, so I have a little experience in the kitchen as well.
Anyway, although my experience was mostly in the far western suburbs, The Bear definitely felt familiar to me when I watched it.
Your reaction was sooo good! It's really great to see a perspective of the show from someone who's LIVED it
Ahaha this is what I would be like reacting to a show set in a call centre
Great video! My dad works in a restaurant, so I love this show and I loved your insight about working in restaurants
More reactions please!
Absolutely love The Bear and am based on what I’ve seen so far of this review, I’m totally looking forward to more episode reactions 🤘🏼
i get 2 boxes of those quart/ half quart containers like every few months. i love using them at home
Okay, you got me. Best The Bear reactor I've seen. Subbed
I would love to see you analyze the series! This was so entertaining and illuminating!!
Loved the reaction!! Can’t wait for the next episodes!
Would love to see you watch the whole series. It is really something special.
Please keep watching. Show's great. Your input was super informative.
Great reaction
I never understood the dangers of using a dull knife until I had to bartend at a private party. I sliced my thumb open cutting limes right before the party started and I had to keep squeezing lime wedges all night long. The bandage I had was fabric (no blue finger condom available) so it was soaked with lime juice all night long. I definitely learned my lesson that day 😂
Yup, when I was baking sourdough regularly I would either put a tray of boiling water at the bottom of the oven, or use a plant mister of water to make steam. Steam is important!
I worked as a waitress and even me this show makes so stressed (worked for 2 years and now it's already 6 years in a library).
loved this! more!
$200? I’d say minimum $1000. He came from a top rated restaurant. He seems to take a crazy pride in his passion. $1000 easy.
I've been a dishwasher for over six years so I can handle holding pans or pots that are decently hot, so one of my favorite things to do to troll new cooks is to pick up or grab the items they warn me about being really hot immediately 😂
I'm like this when it comes to pulling the trays out of the warmers, or pulling out the steam pan from the line.
Oh I also do that it's great lol
You are evil 😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely loved your reaction and insights and can't wait to see more. Only thing: I hope you pause the show when you explain stuff. Don't want you to miss anything or important dialogue. This show moves fast and one of my pet peeves is reactors missing stuff because they talk over dialogue. But I can't wait to see more of your Bear reactions. :)
The Bear and severance are both shows that make me question my sanity on why I enjoy them.
How about reacting to the movies "Chef" and "Ratatouille" next?
Thank you for reacting to this. Sub.
Thank you for all the information! I’ll will have to buy the mayonnaise
Fak is professional chef mattey matheson
One of my favorite episodes is seven
I'm conflicted. I want your expert commentary, but I also want your uninterrupted reaction. I guess I can't have my cake and eat it to ;). I will tune in for more reactions to this show.
Did you know the one that plays Neil is an actual chef.
90% sure it is the State street bridge
Blue finger condoms yes lmfao
Spoilers below
I need to see the reaction to 'why are you f*cking with me?'
He's always going to be lip Gallagher to me
where did you work at?? MINDYS???
-10k
You ate a lot of chicken and rice and called it Comida? Absolutely yes please.
The amount of Chefsplanation you do is really funny. Its kinda of endearing though ngl.
