FX dropped all eight episodes of The Bear in June and viewers can’t get enough. The Bear follows Carmine “Carmy” a wunderkind award-winning chef working at one of the world’s best fine dining restaurants. But when hen his brother dies and leaves him the family’s Chicago sandwich shop The Original Beef of Chicagoland, Carmy drops it all and returns to bring order to the joint. This show is smart, funny, gritty, full of heart and at times comes with an unbearable tension between Carmy and his staff that leaves the audience cringing. This has been hailed the closest depiction to the intensity of working in a professional kitchen and the show every foodie out there needs to see. With titles from the finest restaurants in the world to fermented recipes you need to smell to believe, we’ve got the ultimate list of books to read and recipes to make after you watch this smash hit.
Anthony Bourdain’s work ethic, tenacity and accolades among other qualities seems to have critics sure he was a large part of the puzzle in shaping the character of Carmy. Now thanks to Bourdain’s long time director and producer we’re taken behind the scenes to reveal the insanity of filming television in some of the most volatile places in the world and what it was like to work with a legend.
