Were republishing to coincide with the episodes cable debut on FX.

Thats the whole episode!

And in some ways, they seem smarter than anyone who works at the Original Beef.

(Someone get him a fucking Sharpie!)

Marcuss cakes arent even cut, as he seems laser-focused on getting those doughnuts right.

(Do your job!)

Sydney gets removed from her expo position by Carmen, then gets thrown onto giardiniera duty.

She quits, she says, and we almost believe her.

That is how you make TV, everyone.

Suffice it to say that I loved Review, which sets the table perfectly for the shows season-one finale.

(With more to come, one can hope?)

Review exposes all of the flaws in the Original Beef while also showing some of its strengths.

That being said, isnt that why we love them?

Long live the Original Beef, and heres hoping they can pull it together in the season finale.

Its like theyve all been there forever, and it rules.

I truly cannot explain it.

Its funny that Richie and Carmen both take offense to the restaurant being described as shabby.

Theyve seen that Ballbreaker setup, right?

What do we think is in Marcuss heavenly doughnut?

Its kind of bizarre, but Im sure its excellent.

One more episode to go!

Im going to miss our pals!
