I went to Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar And Grill!" once in Newport News Virginia, people were square dancing there, and I got a free burger for being a serving member of the Royal Air Force and it came with an American flag sticking out of the top. so RIP Toby and cheers for the burger.

"We made a good show critics liked! Now let's disappear entirely up our own rear end." The scene where the sous chef is just eating lovely rich people food around Chicago and going "mmmm!" for fifteen minutes lost me.

I'm 5 eps in and it's became a lot more quippy and saccharine, it's kinda jarring. the show starts with the main character being driven to a near suicidal breakdown by the abusive nature of working in a three star restaurant. the show then name drops Noma a bunch of times and has one of their characters go there to learn how to bake pastries. one of their irl unpaid interns said she had to cut fruit leather into the shape of beetles for three months and was not allowed to talk or laugh

The worst sin of season 2 is that it has this idea that making and serving fancy food is a devotional act, quasi-religious in its powers to heal the soul. The quippy and sparkly and heartstringy parts are the good stuff. Disclaimer: I watched all of it high as gently caress so your results may vary

Nichael posted:"high end" dining is loving stupid and insufferable. And Season One of The Bear seemed to acknowledge this, and set-up that the eventual transformation of the restaurant would be high end food but without the horrible culture behind the scenes. Then Season Two rolls around with its head up it's arse and suddenly high end dining is great and all the writers and staff on the show have access to it so can't bad mouth it too much.

I've said it before itt but I thought season 1 was a whip-smart satire where they were poking fun at the pretentiousness of fine dining the whole time and hoo boy was I fuckin' wrong

Like five-star hotels, fancy restaurants are extremely expensive prestige businesses designed to generate social clout for the owner and the actual experience is secondary

Cast Jeremy Allen White as wonka and instead of making it like some weird candy harry potter poo poo give it the same frantic anxious energy as the bear. Wonka WILL start a Michelin star candy restaurant and he WILL drive oompah loompahs to nervous breakdowns

Cookie Cutter posted:Only someone as powerful as Bourdain can resist that temptation after getting famous making the insider critique, these youngins just don't have the morals for it I don't know if this was true, but in Kitchen Confidential, Bourdain said that due to his drug addiction issues and his overall abrasive personality, no one would ever give him the opportunity to make a true 3 Michelin Star restaurant even though he felt he had the talent for it. Les Halles was going to be as prestigious as it would get for him (and it's actually a nice place to me, so I would think that's just fine). I wonder if that experience is part of what kept him from becoming a big sellout.

This may be a big derail, but I wonder what the foodies here think of Gordon Ramsey. I came across his TikTok and it made me sad. I'm sure his bed full of 100GBP notes probably helps him rest well at night, though.

I mean considering it's just season two and it is pretty clear Carmine's at wits end at the end it is entirely plausible season three will explore the absurdity in pretentious fine dining as they work towards getting a star, in other words, Let it cook

But it also got boring and unfunny, and all the characters are insufferable now. Again, the sous chef doing an "educational" tour of Chicago where she's just stuffing her mouth with overpriced trash for 15 minutes was really bad TV. Also, I've been watching through Foundation, and it feels like another show that fell off in season 2. I actually quite liked all the Cleon bits in season 1, but season 2 seems boring and nonsensical.
