How Matty Matheson Brought The Realism of Restaurants to The Bear 

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.

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

Idk if you saw an interview or something where they actually say they're cooking actual, tasty, high quality food on set, and then eating it, and if so feel free to call me out. But they are 100% getting food catered most of the time if my experience in film studio catering means anything. Even if it's real food on set, shoots can take hours and maintaining the food safe conditions of prop food while filming just so it is safe to eat later sounds terribly high effort.

@@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.

Okay bro not everyone’s a chef

@@bradc4277 It was a gentle admonishment. I just want all home chefs to learn the art of the sauce. Anyone can cook a chicken or steak to perfection with a decent heat source and a thermometer. Developing a flavor in a sauce is in that coffee roaster/sommelier range of skills in that it requires creativity, knowledge of ingredients, honed senses, and plenty of technical know-how. I myself am not an expert saucier. And that's because it is HARD. The good thing is that even a mediocre sauce-maker can make your special Saturday night meal into something very special.

@@mskcrcmy old go to “easy” sauce for steaks Use a stainless steel skillet to cook the steak While it’s resting after cooking Deglaze the skillet with some more butter, very finely diced shallots, and white wine Scrape the fond off the skillet 😂mix into the butter shallot and wine mixture, at the last second throw in a small amount of very finely chopped parsley If you prep the shallots and parsley while the steak is cooking, then the sauce takes about a minute to make and it’s definitely not terrible

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"

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.

Totally agree! This show is truly like no other!

My mom was an ER nurse and she hated the show ER. Said it felt like being at work 😂 I get it.

Hahah!! The restaurant industry definitely produces some crazy characters!

I don't see it as comedy but it does have some funny scenes.

I was looking for this comment

Do you mean that it reminds them too much of work for them to want to watch it on their day off?

slight fumble 😅

Heard, chef. Appreciate the feedback!

@@trevscinema keep making videos! 🫡

Yeah that bothered me too haha. My old chef would have forced me to use the fucked up sauce for my staff meal (several hours later and then force me to make it again, correctly

The worst part is you're just wrong, he's worked in kitchens since 2003.

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.

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

Yes. It is a realistic kitchen show.
