I love that an actual chef (Matty Matheson aka Fak) helped show how it really gets in a restaurant.. I been a chef all my life, Family meal is maybe one of the most important part as a team.. true its dyeing, but i try to keep it traditionally going..
@@619Gotenks I'm typically pretty civil out of the kitchen, but that one irritated me a bit. Annoy a chef, you never know what happens, because we are obnoxious. Plus, no one would ever say that to me in person.
So excited for y'all to watch this show especially knowing now that you've worked in kitchens - this show captures the chaos like i've never seen before. just wait
you guys are going to absolutely adore this show and every character in it. the writing is so unique, and the use of special guests is so original. this show is just simply a tour de force. the entire cast, crew, and production are top notch gourmet creatives.
Greatest show. It’s watching people grow, learn to respect each other, and fall in love with what they do. You wouldn’t know that with how chaotic it starts, and gets.
I was gonna write i long post about my experience in the industry but decided to just say this Cousin is 100% right ... at least in the beginning he is "System is system" Hes trying to tell carm, the kitchen will run itself, the problems that need to be fixed are on the business side of things but he just doesnt know how to communicate that to him
yeah everyone blows at communication in this show. if any two of them could speak without yelling or getting hyper offended then they'd probably realize the path is strong and not take 3x time to get to any given destination.
Gawd I can't imagine how good that beef sandwich is. We used have an absolutely amazing Italian beef shop. Was around for 25+ years, but the owner operator passed away 10 years ago and didn't have anyone to take over. Have been craving one of his sandwiches that long, and haven't been able to replicate it myself. He was kinda amazing, would feed people off the street, but reminded you a bit of the soup nazi from Seinfeld. And his sandwiches were amazing.
Wow, you guys are kind of late on this one. I thought season one and two were something you watched a long time ago. This one is a real treat. I think you'll both like this one. 😁
LFG with both of you having service experience. Let it rip, it’s a lot of PTSD and also really human stories. Such a great show, and I guarantee you’ll love everyone by the end.
I'm so glad I someone had the same feelings about the knife as I did. I would have lost my shit if someone dropped my chef knife on the floor and under the equipment and I've never worked in a kitchen or restaurant. Also, really cool that you two both have experience in restaurants and relate to the show.
So glad you’re starting this fantastic show. I’m not sure where is the best place to make recommendations, but I’d love to see you tackle Twin Peaks. There aren’t a lot of reaction channels featuring that show, but as a long time fan I know the fan-base is rabid, and it’s so crazy, beautiful, unpredictable and funny, that it seems to be made for platforms like yours. Keep up the good work!
i think the soap opera elements on the show would be a turn off for them and after about halfway through the second season the show loses it's purpose.
It is true that the thread of soap opera "corniness" might be a bit much for some (those elements are something of a spoof of the night-time soaps which were popular at the time). But there's also great humor, memorable performances, and a touch of horror. The mid-Season 2 situation resulted in several unfocused episodes that still brought in a lot of the lore that the show is remembered for, and the season finishes with what still must be the craziest series finale of all time. Without this situation, however, we wouldn't have the film, which elevates the story beyond the "dead girl trope," and a quarter century later, the Third Season which is beautiful and completely batsh*t. It's something that may not be for everybody, but every lover of television should at least give it a try, even if it's not on camera.@@Diegesis
Glad to see you doing this series. The show really comes at you 100 miles an hour. Certainly, does not glamorize the restaurant industry whatsoever. It is hard, grunt work. Wonder what Anthony Bourdain would have thought of this program.👨🍳👩🍳
Carmie is right about what it takes to succeed but he’s trying to go from a random mom and pop joint where everything is laid back and was run by Michael, to a high intensity high volume restaurant immediately bc that’s what he knows. Richie is a prick, but he is occasionally right about things lol.
I wasn't sure bout this show at first but it sucked me in. There are some episodes in s2 that are genuinely some of the most poignant TV ive ever seen.
I can't wait for you guys to get to the end of this season. Remember that tomato sauce can that was thrown out at the end of the episode, for it is a brilliant little bit of foreshadowing that I only just picked up on watching this reaction.
It's ok but too much over the top. I've seen some high-anxiety shows (like the early ER) & they did it without being over the top. Maybe it gets better
@@bethelberhane If you haven’t seen it, suggest Ramsay’s Boiling Point. It’s a documentary about Gordon Ramsay early in his career before he was GORDON RAMSAY at a critical moment that would make or break him. Pressure, finances, staff issues, cooking…all the great The Bear stuff but real! You can find it with a free trial on the service that starts with a B and ends with an X that rhymes with gritox.
Don't blame you. It's not for everyone. And some episodes are honestly overpraised so much online. Its a decent show and I'm just glad Jeremy Allen White is getting a chance to shine
The Italian Beef sandwich has been an iconic Chicago food for close to 100 years. It's not really random for Chucago. They are everywhere there and there are always arguments over who was the original and whose is the be best.
