I love that Carmy went against his head chef’s orders and sent out the blood orange dish and Sydney was the person who received it and it was the best dish she ever had and it inspired her. Man I love this show so much.
@@AceCruzat Sydney doesn’t have a fennel allergy. She made a fennel dish for Family meal in season 1. The point of the scene is that Carmy went with his instincts instead of the lead chef and it resulted in the dish that ended up being the best thing Sydney has ever eaten which inspired her. In season 1 she does the same thing with Carmy. She sends out the Risotto dish against Carmy’s orders and the food critic gives it a raving review.
The Bear is one of the only shows where you could pick ANY two characters from the core cast, throw them in a room together and you're GUARANTEED a fantastic, complex, hilarious, 'lived in' interaction because all those people feel real, as does their shared history.
And he’s credited with being a co-writer for this episode with the creator of the show. I thinks he has also been a part of the production crew since last season too. Matty has some very funny and interesting content.
Fak is Matty Matheson who is an actual chef and producer on the show. He owns several restaurants and has written cookbooks. Canadian national treasure.
The amazing music that plays throughout this episode was composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross aka Nine Inch Nails. Although they're credited as the composers for this episode, the music that is heard throughout it wasn't made specifically for the episode. It's "Together" from their 2020 album "Ghost IV: Together".
I really loved this as the opening episode. It feels to me like those times when you're doing some mundane task and just get lost in your thoughts, and your mind bounces back and forth between memories of your life. flashes of high moments and low moments just passing through. Getting to see carmys past like this was really creative i think
I love that Sydney got Carmys' true dish, out of all of them. The cameos of some of the greatest chefs in the world, was next level respected. The Bear got pulling power! Olivia Coleman chef, is immediately a calming, firm incredible influence, opposite of Jeff Wingers tyrant ego. Made me wonder what Carmy could have been, if he studied under her first, than Jeffery. Great episode. ❤❤❤
Interesting that you say about if he'd studied under her first, because as far as I can tell, I think he did? From the way the show presents it I feel like the first restaurant Carmy works at is Ever, then he gets sent to Copenhagen which he mentions in 'Fishes' then gets the offer to move to New York where he works with the mean chef. If anything it's almost more tragic that way round, because after all the family drama that goes on in Carmen's life he gets into another abusive situation in his workplace instead of getting the peace he needed :(
@@hiseval4281 From what I could pick up, I think op was right here. I believe this was the order: CIA Mean Chef (French Laundry, staging) Olivia Coleman chef (since she asks if he’s gone to Copenhagen, and he says he’s staged at the French laundry, but hasn’t been to copenhagen) Copenhagen - between Copenhagen and New York we had the Christmas episode last season. Sarah Paulson’s character offers him a place to stay in New York and he’s talking about the boat and feeding the cat as something he’s doing at the time - New York (retain the three star) - Michael dies, back to Chicago -
@@clovers9660 No, New York was when he worked under Joel McHale's character, the one who was abusive, and it was one year before Carmy went back to Chicago to take over The Beef. It's shown in the opening flashback of S1E02, "Hands". It's implied that's also when he retained the three stars.
this is one of the most beautiful pieces of tv i've ever seen, it's just such an amazing and melancholic episodes of the bear, and it is honestly like a painting.
Sydney and Richie stepped up and SLAYED that entire service. Richie and Carmy yelling at each other, Richie yells back "I love you!" several times. But Carm was so caught up in pain.. he didnt hear it. Incredible episode and Season.
To be fair Richie also yelled “where were you when we buried your f***ing brother?!” And then I think he realized that was way too far and started saying “I love you!” Not sure tho, he says that first part rly quickly and amidst a bunch of yelling so it’s quick to miss, but it defiantly got carmy way more pissed and chaotic
Love that Joel Mchale said to never repeat ingredients -bc I took a restaurant management course from an executive chef and said to never put an ingredient in the menu that u can’t use twice
So proud of myself for immediately recognizing the 2 master chefs in this episode, Daniel Boulud (the guy mentoring Carmy) and Rene Redzepi (the guy staring at the wall of dishes pictures), thanks to all those years of obsessing over Top Chef 😄 And this episode is just a beautiful masterpiece, I can't believe they managed to elevate things even after 2 amazing seasons.
I saw Rene and was like wow is he at his resturant. because its like farm to table is it not.. and when Chef Terry asked "have you ever been to copehagen?" I was like.. aaaahhhh
Fak is actually Matty Matheson. He is a well respected chef with two cookbooks and his own restaurants. He was initially brought on as a "consultant" but they gave him a spot on the show.
This is like those recap episodes from sitcoms only they used hardly any old footage. It was like they were recapping the feelings of what's happened so far. I loved it. Beautiful! Gives Carmy so much emotional context.
That garden, with chickens, bees, etc. is the French Laundry's garden in Yountville, right across the street from the restaurant. It is exactly where they get their ingredients....
To the comments about the small portions for expensive fine dining restaurants, that tiny plate of food isnt your entire meal..they give you 6 or 7 of those plates throughout your meal. You actually get a lot of food.
Yeah it’s a challenging concept considering the price, but you gotta consider each dish like a stunt; imagine one of the stunts performed is the ENTIRE temple action sequence from “Temple of Doom”… the ‘mains’ need to be a larger portion sure, but not a full entree portion otherwise your experience in the dishes after are informed by the sheer mass of food you just ingested
Yeah, I too used to be like, bruh that's such a small portion, A McD burgur would fill my stomach more. But then I went to fine dining place where they served like 10 dishes + 3 drinks over the course of 3 hours and every dish was a story in itself, after the whole thing was done, it felt like I went through a journey.
Exactly! Tasting menus you pay for the experience and the full meal. What The Bear does isn’t a tasting menu, it’s a chaos menu - I know at some point they discuss the potential money per turn per table, but it’s not cheap - but Carmy is a James Beard winner or nominee (I can’t recall rn) and his accolades can carry that price easily.
Their hands absolutely are their own! They made a point of training all the chef actors in actual kitchens, and training them to straight make the dishes they were shown making, so it’s their hands in every shot that it’s supposed to be their hands.
Eric's first post-reaction thought is my exact one. "What did the script look like?". Because, normally montage scenes are just a list of moments, but the whole episode? Fascinating.
I know S3 seems to elicit some strong reactions and differing opinions. But I think they got off to an AMAZING start with one of the most beautiful episodes of any tv show I've ever watched.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit let down by this season, like a 7/10 for me. A few really amazing episodes but overall I feel like multiple characters needed to hash things out and never do.
I honestly can't blame people too much if they didn't dig this season as much as the first two, but man, I am so deeply invested in this show that I could watch seasons and seasons more of this, I loved pretty much every scene and it manages to get an emotional reaction out of me unlike any other show on tv.
I feel like viewers are irrationally dreading a season 5 or 6 game of thrones situation kinda treatment where “nOtHiNg HaPpEnS!!!”; the fact that Carmy is struggling and unlikeable is the point: he’s still stuck in the fridge and everyone is not only advancing themselves, but more open to one another and caring for one another
9:25 the +5 second cook Chef Terry has Carmy do is using a salamander broiler, so 5 sec is somewhat significant because it’s a petite côte de boef under a crazy hot (up to 800F maybe) heating element
The Bear is a "comedy" to the Emmy's because of its a half hour runtime. That's the only thing stopping it from entering the drama category. And according to Wiki, it's a comedy-drama, which it can be. I've laughed at Succession plenty of times and that's drama drama drama. Yeah, categories are weird. It's a show about life which has all categories and genres and human behaviors, etc and it's succeeding at showing that more than any medium I can remember. Love this show!
A few of the chefs featured in this episode are real chefs (some quite famous within the culinary world) who work in and own Michelin starred restaurants. The older chef with the French accent who had a very gentle approach in mentoring Carmy is Daniel Boulud, the owner and executive chef of Daniel (that's the restaurant's entire name) in New York City, which has two Michelin stars.
This episode was really polarizing (some people hated it) but I thought it was incredible and one of the best ones they've done. It was a big artistic risk but Storer pulled it off.
The restaurant he was at is The French Laundry. That garden with the veggies, eggs, and bee hives IS right next to the restaurant. They harvest and use stuff right from there whenever possible.
This episode is really entertaining to watch people react to. Since there’s basically no dialogue it forces the reactor to talk a lot and let’s just say some are better at filling the space than others 😂
Noteable chefs making appearances: Renee Redzepi, Daniel Bouloud, more in later episodes Rene is known for having the “world’s greatest restaurant” until recentlyish since he closed it like 18 months ago
This episode enabled my depression. It was such a masterpiece. I keep saying that this show cant get any better, and I am proven wrong every single time.
So Fak is a professional chef and even does youtube content iirc. They brought him on for help in making the cooking look right and he asked if he was in the show the one thing is he didnt want to play a chef since thats what he does irl.
@6:55 - LOL you're not wrong aaron but meals like that come in 7-9 courses so you get a little bit of a lot of different things and it does fill you up.
You should definitely check out society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, ,the acting was amazing.
4 episodes in and it really is the most depressing series on television. Carmie is definitely in his Heisenberg Arc. He is his own worst villian and I hope things turn around. But, it is a draining watch. Entertaining, but draining. So far its like every episode is 7 fishes and I could use a Forks or Hot Dog episode.
I don’t think they established any momentum in this one - I think they slowed the pace right down, and boldly stuck with that for the rest of the season, matching how every main character is essentially frozen in emotional stasis, stuck in the fridge with Carmy. Lots of intimate character pieces, not necessarily as transformative as Forks, but given how much it felt like a Season 3: Part 1 (in a really good way) I can tell the next season/chapter is gonna be a whole lot of change and more tangible emotional development
Took me a few days before continuing the show because I had to let this episode really sit with me. Absolutely amazing story telling. I also had to leave home after a family tragedy and I could not handle it, so this episode hit different for me. The music is what took this to another level though, I was in a trance watching this. Beautiful, melancholic, heartbreaking and hopeful. One of the best episodes of tv ever.
Excited for the new season of The Bear? So are we! Watch the next 4 Reactions on Early Access at www.blindwave.com
Matty Matheson who plays Fak is a chef and a restaurant owner
So glad the best comedy award winner is back. And what a riot this episode was. Couldn't stop laughing.
I love that Carmy went against his head chef’s orders and sent out the blood orange dish and Sydney was the person who received it and it was the best dish she ever had and it inspired her. Man I love this show so much.
He didn’t necessarily go against Chef Winger’s orders: Sydney has a fennel allergy which meant the dish couldn’t go as-is so Carm provided a sub
@@AceCruzat Sydney doesn’t have a fennel allergy. She made a fennel dish for Family meal in season 1. The point of the scene is that Carmy went with his instincts instead of the lead chef and it resulted in the dish that ended up being the best thing Sydney has ever eaten which inspired her.
In season 1 she does the same thing with Carmy. She sends out the Risotto dish against Carmy’s orders and the food critic gives it a raving review.
This episode was melancholic, soothing, peaceful, and stressful all at the same time
That's why I love this show
The 1st one and the last one for me...idk how anybody found this 'soothing'
Someone described this episode as a “palette cleanser” before the next course
nice one
OOOH that's 🔥!!
This wasn’t an episode, this was an Oscar worthy short film!
This episode reminded me of the Neon Genesis Evangelion finale.
Absolutely!!
Agreed!
I hope you enjoy this style, because it's basically the same every episode this season and nothing ever actually happens.
@@willvr4 this episode and episode 6 is probably the best, but everything else is kinda meh imo
The Bear is one of the only shows where you could pick ANY two characters from the core cast, throw them in a room together and you're GUARANTEED a fantastic, complex, hilarious, 'lived in' interaction because all those people feel real, as does their shared history.
Not even just the core cast, since their supporting and guest cast are also stellar
The audacity to start your season with an episode like this. Just amazing.
This entire season is the definition of audacity. I think in a good way.
"Aw are these all the dishes that went missing?"
The snort I snurted.
The guy that plays Fak is actually a chef
He is also a restaurant owner for years now.
@@melissagreye8445 i have reservations at the House of parm for july. can't wait!
And he’s credited with being a co-writer for this episode with the creator of the show. I thinks he has also been a part of the production crew since last season too. Matty has some very funny and interesting content.
He also has one of the best UA-cam channels
How do ppl not know Matty Matheson????
Fak is Matty Matheson who is an actual chef and producer on the show. He owns several restaurants and has written cookbooks. Canadian national treasure.
Matty is an incredible chef and content creator too. I will always stop to watch him if he shows up on my home page.
Two in 1 day?? We’re spoiled!!!😅
They wanted to blow our minds 😂
right! just got done watching their s2 ep 10 reaction ❤
6 if you're a Beyond subscriber!
This episode was edited perfectly.
It may have very much been scripted in the edit as Eric said considering the WGA strike and their shooting schedule
@@hellfish2309 Yep
The amazing music that plays throughout this episode was composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross aka Nine Inch Nails. Although they're credited as the composers for this episode, the music that is heard throughout it wasn't made specifically for the episode. It's "Together" from their 2020 album "Ghost IV: Together".
Gotta say .. The music got VERY VERY VERY annoying to me .. Monotonous, and very unnerving.
also the duo behind the challengers score!
I thought I was getting Social Network vibes, so that makes sense
@@jonjohns8145Damn, who asked?
amazing music? If found it extremely repetitive, bland and annoying

Fun Fact, the guy who plays Tina's husband ,Angel from Dexter, is Tina's real life husband
That is CRAZY
Oh, wow 🤯. That’s amazing. Thanks 🙏🏽 for dropping that info!
Fak is actually Matty Matheson. He is a well respected chef with two cookbooks and his own restaurants. He was initially brought on as a "consultant" but they gave him a spot on the show.
This show is a masterpiece.
Another masterpiece episode without saying much dialogues at all. Brilliant writing, acting, music and cinematography
This is like those recap episodes from sitcoms only they used hardly any old footage. It was like they were recapping the feelings of what's happened so far. I loved it. Beautiful! Gives Carmy so much emotional context.
That garden, with chickens, bees, etc. is the French Laundry's garden in Yountville, right across the street from the restaurant. It is exactly where they get their ingredients....
Have just jumped from The Bear season 2 finale, to Mr Robot, to The Bear season 3 - what a sunday!
Wtf I literally just did this 😮
"Have you seen these dishes?"
Hilarious Eric!
To the comments about the small portions for expensive fine dining restaurants, that tiny plate of food isnt your entire meal..they give you 6 or 7 of those plates throughout your meal. You actually get a lot of food.
Yeah it’s a challenging concept considering the price, but you gotta consider each dish like a stunt; imagine one of the stunts performed is the ENTIRE temple action sequence from “Temple of Doom”… the ‘mains’ need to be a larger portion sure, but not a full entree portion otherwise your experience in the dishes after are informed by the sheer mass of food you just ingested
Yeah. Besides, you go to the expensive as shit restaurants for the taste, to see what chefs at the top of their skill can do.
Yeah, I too used to be like, bruh that's such a small portion, A McD burgur would fill my stomach more. But then I went to fine dining place where they served like 10 dishes + 3 drinks over the course of 3 hours and every dish was a story in itself, after the whole thing was done, it felt like I went through a journey.

Love that after teasing Noma for two seasons they finally got to show us the restaurant and the amazing team behind it.
I love that the still call him winger
It’s reminding you why you’re back, aesthetically it sets the tone……and it says ok we have a set of balls full send
Their hands absolutely are their own! They made a point of training all the chef actors in actual kitchens, and training them to straight make the dishes they were shown making, so it’s their hands in every shot that it’s supposed to be their hands.

This episode was mesmerizing, I feel I didn’t even blink and the music was just incredible!!!!!! What an opening episode for season 3 💯
The guy who plays angel bautista is Liza Zayas-colons real husband David zayas
I know S3 seems to elicit some strong reactions and differing opinions. But I think they got off to an AMAZING start with one of the most beautiful episodes of any tv show I've ever watched.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit let down by this season, like a 7/10 for me. A few really amazing episodes but overall I feel like multiple characters needed to hash things out and never do.
Season 3 was mostly depressing to me. Now I have another year to wait for some resolution 😭
It was a step down from the first two seasons and had some major flaws, but still better than 90% of shows on tv right now
I honestly can't blame people too much if they didn't dig this season as much as the first two, but man, I am so deeply invested in this show that I could watch seasons and seasons more of this, I loved pretty much every scene and it manages to get an emotional reaction out of me unlike any other show on tv.

Ranking art is wack anyway
Seeing Redzepi gave me happy tears

You also see Rene Redzepi (NOMA) in this episode, considered world's no.1 restaurant for a time.
The guy who plays Fak is a real chef, Matty Matheson.
This episode was really polarizing (some people hated it) but I thought it was incredible and one of the best ones they've done. It was a big artistic risk but Storer pulled it off.
This was polarizing? Holy cow. I can’t imagine anyone hating it. It’s gorgeous.
Nine Inch Nails - Together.. That's the track that played thru the episode. Unreal. Was so emotional.
THANK YOU for going right into season 3. This channel makes the right call every time
that is crazy how well you timed this out im impressed
The restaurant he was at is The French Laundry. That garden with the veggies, eggs, and bee hives IS right next to the restaurant. They harvest and use stuff right from there whenever possible.
the song is Together by NIN, I think trent and atticus expanded it as a score for this which is just so perfect
This series is something else man… it showing an art, but the series is an art itself as well.
Carmy beasting in episode 1 of season 3...: chef's kiss:
This episode is really entertaining to watch people react to. Since there’s basically no dialogue it forces the reactor to talk a lot and let’s just say some are better at filling the space than others 😂
Did not expect the season to start this way but it's such an interesting way to start the season.
Jon Bernthal was definitely filming as The Punisher for the Daredevil series as the same time as this show judging by his haircut alone lmao 🤣
I don’t think i realized that that third chef that was reacting to Carmy’s peeling was the chef from Forks. The “Fuck you, Garrett.” guy.
You guys noticed Angel at the funeral. He’s married to the actress who plays Tina.
Fak’s actor an actual chef with his own restaurant. He also has a UA-cam channel
Noteable chefs making appearances: Renee Redzepi, Daniel Bouloud, more in later episodes
Rene is known for having the “world’s greatest restaurant” until recentlyish since he closed it like 18 months ago
As crazed as Carmy gets he never resorts to violence, but I was so hoping he would break and punch out Joel Mchale.
This episode enabled my depression. It was such a masterpiece. I keep saying that this show cant get any better, and I am proven wrong every single time.
Matty Matheson (Fak) is a renowned restaurateur and chef in real life
Eric is so right about Carmy running
Watching this, somehow I felt like this ep is like a "previously on" of everything that happened with a lot of added context.
Two in one day? Praise be!
man this might be one of my favorite episodes. Even if it is more of a recap with a few things. That soothing music..
"Keeping the spoon" meant she trusted him to pour the sauce from now on
OMG WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE
It wasn’t Chicago. Establishing shots were of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Can't wait for episode 5 xD definitely the most comedic episode
i finished the season in two days and i agree it definitely had a good start...
2 Bear episodes in the same day? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Uneven---the closeups are brutal!!
Loved this season. I think I've said this every season, but I have a new favorite episode of the series😂😂😂. And that would episode 5
So Fak is a professional chef and even does youtube content iirc. They brought him on for help in making the cooking look right and he asked if he was in the show the one thing is he didnt want to play a chef since thats what he does irl.
@6:55 - LOL you're not wrong aaron but meals like that come in 7-9 courses so you get a little bit of a lot of different things and it does fill you up.
What is that sneakers?? LMAOOOO
OMG new drop
SEASON 3 ALREADY‼️‼️
put some respect on Matty Matherson, he's an excellent chef, Homestyle Cooking is such an awesome cookbook
Re chefs: certainly Daniel Boulud portrayed himself here (in the NY restaurant where Carmi started off).
Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack for this whole episode, fucking traumatizing episode man. Tears were shed.
Anyone else notice how punisher looking micheal looks 😉
6:58 You wouldn't just get that plate, you'd get several courses with the meal. Some as few as 3, some more expensive would be 9 courses.
Chef as a verb lol
Oh we’re going right into it? I thought there would be a bear break
You should definitely check out society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, ,the acting was amazing.
6:11 ok they need to watch The Menu
Fak is an actual chef 😅
absolutely incredible premiere.
4 episodes in and it really is the most depressing series on television. Carmie is definitely in his Heisenberg Arc. He is his own worst villian and I hope things turn around. But, it is a draining watch. Entertaining, but draining. So far its like every episode is 7 fishes and I could use a Forks or Hot Dog episode.
nice!!!!
man i loved this ep it’s a shame they never kept the momentum in the following episodes ☹️
I don’t think they established any momentum in this one - I think they slowed the pace right down, and boldly stuck with that for the rest of the season, matching how every main character is essentially frozen in emotional stasis, stuck in the fridge with Carmy. Lots of intimate character pieces, not necessarily as transformative as Forks, but given how much it felt like a Season 3: Part 1 (in a really good way) I can tell the next season/chapter is gonna be a whole lot of change and more tangible emotional development
Directed by Christopher Storer
What a beautiful episode
It was a very cool episode! Almost a dream like state, very soothing, not something I excepted from this show
What a perfect episode
What are those pads that they are taking notes on?
Took me a few days before continuing the show because I had to let this episode really sit with me. Absolutely amazing story telling. I also had to leave home after a family tragedy and I could not handle it, so this episode hit different for me. The music is what took this to another level though, I was in a trance watching this. Beautiful, melancholic, heartbreaking and hopeful. One of the best episodes of tv ever.
This episode was incredible, my favorite 🔥
