Carmy's New York Flashback | The Bear | FX

Could you handle the heat of these kitchens? 🔥

Casting Joel McHale and Gillian Jacobs was fine but then you make Richie use "Streets Ahead" in the show. Perfect.

Jesus, are all head chefs like him?

Is this all a bad dream or did it really happen?

Anybody knows the soundtrack name?? @FXNetworks

Hands

The smash cut to the sandwich shop is perfect. One setting is pure stress in the middle of an absolutely controlled environment, the other is pure stress in the middle of absolute chaos. Also shout out to Pure Evil Jeff Winger for nailing the abusive head chef character.

this is what i play whenever i need motivation

I love every second of this

Jeff Winger from the Darkest Timeline quit law and became a Chef

We need a new genre of films/tv that just include films that show the ugly truth of different professions

“Whiplash” for musicians
“Black Swan” for dancers
“The Bear” for chefs

Any other ones?

i think this loses all dramatic tension when you remember they're just making fakin food lmao like chill dude you're decorating raw salmon not doing open heart surgery

the exact reason why i never want to work in fine dining

Song title?

Not gonna lie this was the only time I didn’t recognize an actor mid-watch. Maybe it was just Joel McHale in glasses but I didn’t realize until he appeared season two who played this part— not necessarily complimenting his acting ability (nor rejecting it) but rather the direction, editing(!), and cinematography of this amazing show for making this character such an effective part of carmy’s history.

Why people normalized or romanticized this? This is harassment and very unnecessary. To be honest if I knew the head chef is abusive I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the food. Don’t do or say anything you won’t do or say in an open kitchen with customers present.

Here let me spoil really expensive restaurants for you: take what you would consider an obscene amount of sugar, salt, and fat in your own home kitchen and quadruple it. Chefs will smugly think it's more than that, that they have real talent. They have callouses and complexes. hEaRd!

Scenes like these are what makes the show 10x better

Jesus this was intense...

Say what you want about that Chef but he was trying to break Carm and couldn't, and it made him a stronger man.

Watching this the first time made me feel sick

All that for some f*****g asparagus?

Even though most of us will never work in a restaurant, our bosses and colleagues may have, and they bring this culture into the office. I don't think that working in the food industry is the best way to introduce people into the workplace.

why they all time yelling "hands"?

This show is too noisy pack of crazy people with no common knowledge.

Anybody knows what are the 3 things where Carmy puts carrots on? the little circle stuff? Im tying to make that dish for my bf bc he loves the show but I cant quite figure out what are those, any close suggestion helps, ty

What absolutely does it for me in this scene is that Carmy seems so jaded in regards to the comments. But then you see his unnatural blinking and the small hesitation before he sets the plate of salmon aside. That hesitation underlines it all for me, if he would’ve kept working at a high pace the impact of the scene would not be as powerful.

me minding my own buinsness making a sunny egg, i flip the egg, joel mchale appears Why? i fliped it. Why? i like it from both sides. why? because liquid egg yolk is gross. GO!

This show is beyond perfect.. what a superb acting and script

bro wouldve been on the floor

Everyone is missing the point. The chef talking isn't real. This is Carmey's internal dialogue driving him on. It just manifests itself as the chef berating him.

It probably wouldn't work for the tone this show goes for but I think it would be hilarious if we meet this chef and find out he's super nice and friendly OUTSIDE of the restaurant.

Such a perfect heaven hell allegory here as well. He's in the culinary equivalent of heaven only to be cast out to the equivalent of hell

This show is on a whole nuther level. Absolute chaos! But I mainly watched it because I love a good tv cooking show especially a non reality based movie. Plus theres Jon Bernthal, Jamie Curtis, Bob Odenkirk, and Will Poulter besides the new actors.

These nights made me stronger

This is such a brilliant scene. The stark difference between kitchens is absolutely legit. If you’re a chef/cook who has worked in both environs it is so easy to relate. Not that I’ve worked NYC elite, but I’ve worked in kitchens all over the spectrum. The air is definitely different between a bar kitchen and a fine dining restaurant.

Also that blink from White at the end after hands was perfect. That’s basically all you can do when you have an exec chef over your shoulder ripping into you.

I had nodded off into a Chinese food induced doze ( sesame beef and shrimp fried rice) and came out of it to this scene and it was even more trippy/haunting.

Jeff playing Jeff. This is streets ahead!

jeff didnt handle abeds leaving so well

what do the numbers mean tho in this scene
do they just mean the table numbers ?

This scene has such 'Whiplash' energy.

Accurate depiction of the way Charlie Trotter used to torment his chefs

Can’t believe how harsh Jeff Winger is

I love how this scene is shot going from a pristine clean and organized setting to a dirty greasy and comparatively partly disorganized setting and ironic though we aspire our kitchens to be the first, but when they cut back to Carmy making the sandwich it felt a big relief as if the later was comforting and just thinking about that is frightening incredible writing and direction

Joel McHale is more brutal than Gordon Ramsay 😂😂

jeff winger chill tf out

What a good coworker, taking the time to inquire about a fellow coworkers problem and why it happened then going to motivate carmy to work faster! An inspiration to us all.

Is this what a kitchen is actually like?

My brother have 24 years in gastronomy business, after he watched this show he cant stand Joel McHale in any role on any movie or series because he hated him for this bit, thats good acting right there
