When I worked in the industry it was always “you need to see waiting”

“Oh you’re a chef? Don’t you get tired of yelling all day?”
“I’d love to cook for you one day but it’s probably not what you’re used to….”
It’s tiring. I’ve never had to raise my voice to any of my staff and I’d take a home cooked meal any day

Ugh, seriously. That shit makes me so mad. Just glamourizing an abusive industry. It’s fucking sickening.

You’re a cook? What’s your favorite thing to cook? Like, if I just came in and said make me anything, what would you make?

In the UK we usually get “what did you think of Boiling Point”, probably because it predates The Bear and features Stephen Graham as the head chef so is automatically regarded as brilliant 😂

My favorite question has always been, “What’s your favorite thing to cook?”

Bruh, I’ve had the owners now start making changes based on “what they have seen that cook in the bear doing.”

Almost as much fun as the invasion of the home cook posts here with ‘my gf/bf is a chef and i’m intimidated to cook for them.’ Jesus Mary and Joseph, just hand me a grilled cheese, tater tots and a whiskey and receive plentiful oral sex as a thank you.

Season 1 was great, idk wtf they did with season 2…locked in a walk in? They even painted the emergency opener on the inside for the shot…terrible writing and acting after 1st season, and everybody I know swears it’s amazing…

Yeah I’m gunna be honest I usually try to be vague when asked what I do to avoid this shit, I normally just say I’m in food distribution. If asked for details I say I put food orders together for delivery(technically true). People tend to assume I work for a warehouse and stop asking questions there.

It’s shocking the amount of people in this comment section that don’t understand people are just trying to have a conversation and be friendly. You don’t need to get overly aggressive about it.
TheZsSilent
I like telling people the menu is more accurate

I watched 1 episode of the bear and had a nightmare about work that night. I took it as a sign that it was a little too close to home and I should stick with watching Bob’s burgers before bed

I watched 2 episodes of The Bear and I was more stressed out than if I watched the most tense horror movie. I needed a smoke, a hug and a nap.

Someone asked me how realistic it was.
I was like they have too much free time, carmine has some definition and idk when he’s getting a work out in.
TheTrueCurtis
I’m glad there is an equivalent now to rock climbers hearing “have you seen free solo?”
AgileIndependence940
I’d just be happy that someone is trying to relate with me on something they *think* i enjoy

“Oh, i bet you love cooking then”.

skyywalker1009
I left the industry and never looked back. That show for real brought back a lot of work place trauma I never wanted to relive hahahah. Made it a couple episodes before the truth of it hurt to much.
SexandCinnamonbuns
Ohh shit this is meeeee but I was just using it as a conversation starter with the hot chef in the kitchen… do you think I really gave a shit if he saw The Bear???????? I just needed a reason to talk to him!!
PresterLee
Very well made show, very authentic. Watched three and couldn’t take the stress anymore. PTSD horror.
Apprehensive_Pin3536
Am i the only one who has no desire to watch The Bear. I also hate people telling me what I would like.
Varmitthefrog
I am out of the industry, but that show gives me seriously fucked up memories, I tried to watch it, but it makes my chest all tight like I am going to have a panic attack SERIOUS PTSD
Fabulous-One-9207
I have seen the Bear and he is a sexy beast. Mmm, big ol chubby hairy man. Sup bear, call me.

My wife said, “Was it really like that?”
Yes, but they left all the really bad parts out that they couldn’t show on TV.
