Master chef and restaurateur Paul Liebrandt rates every fine dining scene from “The Bear” for realism.
Liebrandt breaks down restaurant operations and management in the first season of “The Bear,” starring Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edibiri, as the head chef and sous chef of The Original Beef of Chicagoland. The show also features Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Matty Matheson. He looks at the realism of opening and running The Bear restaurant in season two, including the process of staging and training the kitchen staff of a fine-dining restaurant. He mentions the real-life renowned chefs featured in the third season, such as Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, and René Redzepi, while also connecting his personal experiences as a Michelin-star chef and restaurateur.
Liebrandt has been a chef for over 25 years and owned the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Corton in New York City. He also previously worked at the New York restaurants Atlas, Gilt, and Papillon. His book “To the Bone” is part cookbook and part memoir of his culinary experiences.

I had the pleasure to cook Thomas’s new menu to him pre open of his restaurant Ad Hoc. Our kitchen was a relaxed beast. Where I really learned verbal.. Bacchus thx
such bullshit to the story that goes with charging you 300% over cost price per dish
just sayin i studied culinary arts in trade school and now im 12 years in the airforce lmao. being a chef was so stressful i quit and joined the military 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s no joke.
13:50 Asparagus is spelt "aspargaus" 10/10 very realistic chefs are fundamentally idiots.
Carmey looks a lot like photos of younger Chef Paul!!
his reaction at 2:09 😂
This guy is great. 2240….damn
The editors not putting 11/10 on the screen is absurd, show the man some respect
And people still ask me, why I never tried a job in gastronomy. That's why.
What does FOKUS stand for? What's with the "K" instead of a "C"?
“Yea it happens everyday people just quitting. I’ve done it myself. Anyways I give this scene 4 out of 10.”
Working in fast food has left a trauma in me that is preventing me from wanting to see this show. I hated and loved every minute of it, even tho I survived it and went above and beyond. It is not for everyone, and even if it can transform you into the best version of yourself it may still not be your passion, so it is something you need to seriously ask yourself.
I love how this guy is so warm and open yet somehow still intimidating. YES CHEF!
I’ve worked in four different Michelin-starred restaurants in NYC — two of them had 3 Michelin stars. The Bear is the most accurate depiction of a fine dining restaurant and the kitchen environment I have ever seen. I could often tell which restaurants and kitchens they were referencing in the show.
"Irregardless" is not a word. "Over exaggerated" is redundant. Unless u mean its supposed to be exaggerated and it was exaggerated more than it was supposed to be
It can’t be just me that thinks this dude is exactly like Christopher HItchens.
The restaurant was being remodeled, that's why they cooked at home.
I agree with Paul that good restaurants don't let mistakes leave the kitchen. However, bad restaurants will look at the clearly rotten 3 lb. lobster fresh out of the steamer that was so old and dead before being cooked that the flesh was beginning to liquify and when asked if we should serve this, will simply place another smaller 1.25 lb. lobster tail on top to "make up" for the missing meat. WHEEEE!!!
he's seen someone hand get cut… off?!?!
10:14 I never expected to hear about shellfish racism 😂
He lost me at “irregardless” lmao
I've never watched "The Bear" but this review is really making me want to check it out! ♥️
I need either mph or ramsay to do this review
I love him
11/10!
I've met Thomas Keller many times when I worked in specialty coffee. He is an incredible person in so many ways. Equator Coffees created a TK blend for his Californian restaurants. I'm so fortunate for those years.
Him the whole time 🤨
Please can you do Boiling Point? ❤
Why are chefs such dickheads in most of these fine dining shows and movies? I don't know who would want to work for these people, even with the pay they receive
I like this huy
Irregardless is not a word
14:01 hand me that aspargaus stat
22:28 HEY he said 11/10 not 10/10
“Never let your mistakes leave the kitchen ever”
Oh so that’s why i was born
I always hated chefs that treat people like crap then expect them to hang around to "help get through".
I want to like The Bear, but I used to work in a kitchen and every time I watch it I start getting 'Nam flashbacks.
2:14 You've seen someone hands get cut OFF? Are you sure you didn't mean 'cut up'?
Elon musk chef
thank god someone is saying it, this show is so overly dramatic.
As a Ritz-Carlton employee, I take offense to your comment of wanting to enjoy. The Ritz trains and mandates its employees to say, “my pleasure.”. To this day it sets me off hearing that phrase! I led a Ritz-Carlton to a Five Diamond status but I NEVER enforced that STUPID rule! Why? Mobil and Michelin NEVER demanded it in order to score points. Did you “cum” while eating your food? Did the employee serving you “cum” from the SHEER enjoyment of seeing you? / BRINGING YOU FOOD FOR MONEY?! No they did not, your critique comes from a sense of position and I do NOT like it at all. Your talking points on opps is SPOT on! And nothing but hats off on that side! 👏 but your critique of the employees for me is too much, too much at a level I led and kicked people like you out of my hotel! I never enjoyed it at the time and in the experience, but now when I come across posts like this, YEAH I LOVED kicking your privileged life out! ❤ and doing it in style! I had a driver for you, I had your stay set up and cost was taken care of Sir… “We are Ladies and Gentlemen, serving Ladies and Gentleman.” If you don’t know the BASIC , don’t comment…
This is why I never pursued being a chef. As a welder, if i make a small mistake, I can fix it with a Die Grinder or angle grinder. It doesn’t have to be art to me until I gotta weld pipe, but then again art is only visually appealing, the true test comes through the bend.
“This happens all the time – 4/10”
“If this happened they don’t know what they’re doing – 7/10”
stopped watching at "irregardless"
