This recap was originally published on June 28, 2022, shortly afterThe Bearpremiered its first season on Hulu.
Were republishing to coincide with the episodes cable debut on FX.
As played bythe very good Jon Bernthal, Mikey is more together than I expected as a viewer.
I only wish Bill Murray had been at one of my hangs.
All of this is to say that Ceres is, in large part, about history.
(That date, after all, was labeled by Richie as rightly having no sense of Chicago history.
Its disgusting, really.)
Its just a fact.)
I havent said this enough: Ebon Moss-Bachrach is excellent inThe Bear.
You know how Sugars upset that Carmy never asks how shes feeling?
Richie wants to just say fuck you and walk away, but he also believes its true.
The irony of that is that Richie does have skills.
You want to come in and see the guy at the hot-dog counter thats always there.
Its about relationships and authenticity, and Richie has both of those in spades.
Unfortunately, he doesnt have a willingness to change, which could lead to his demise at the Beef.
Carmy is around, but hes also drawing in Mikeys mistakes and is just sort of treading water emotionally.
Now, if only they can learn to trust themselves.
There is tomato sauce involved.
Will my theory pay off?
It hasall the speakeasy bona fidesyoud want from a place like that, and its a fine bar.
Marcus is really going to get those doughnuts, isnt he?
And I will be mad that I cant taste them.
FX, send doughnuts, like.
If its cold, your meats not done.
Its absolutely not scientific or safe in any way, but thats how a lot of chefs do it.
