Bullshit to #2. The first 2 minutes of the very first episode brought back way too many memories I had hoped to suppress.

Yeah neither of those commenters have ever worked on a restaurant for a substantial amount of time- it’s so much more than “making food”
Blk_Lion_reloaded
Worked 2 years as a head expo at a local 🦞 20 years ago and still have flashbacks of ticket orders half a mile long ,grill covered with steaks, fish and chicken and it’s a 2+hr wait in the lobby . Ugh

The show would way overdramatize, and we all know it happens irl, but fuck those guys in the messages.

Until you have put hours in the kitchen. Your opinion is irrelevant. If you still feel that way after; you have earned your opinion.

My job probably isn’t as intense as the show but those comments reek of entitlement from people who’ve only ever cooked scrambled eggs
GorillaGrip_Pussy
If they didn’t act dramatic no one would watch it.
People probably wouldn’t want to watch the dishwasher eat his evening meal off returned plates either.
Gotta choose your realism.

if you’ve ever called someone a ‘civilian’ you are this meme

“It’s literally just making food, how hard can it be” says someone who can’t make it for themselves so they have to pay someone else to do it

I was a catering chef at the Microsoft headquarters. Scratch cooking in VOLUME! Not for the faint of heart. As many hours as you’re willing to work and as demanding of an account that you could imagine. The kitchen is massive and has dozens of cooks, bakers and chefs putting out tens of millions of dollars worth of food a year. If you can handle that you can handle anything… not just kitchen work, I mean anything in life.

These commentators weren’t in this kitchen this Saturday for Restaurant Week

This is like sports fans thinking they coulda done better
there certainly are boh that are overly bitchy about getting orders.
the comment from 3 is beyond moronic, and i disagree with the sentiment in 2, despite not really liking The Bear or its characters.
im curious what subreddit got 3 hundreds of upvotes.

>*”They act like they work in the highest stress environment.”*
Yeah, sure, nobody working a kitchen will pretend it’s more stressful than working in an ER or fire department, but it’s ludicrous to think kitchens aren’t stressful environments. They can be mini warzones when there’s a rush. And all for low pay, long hours, and little social life outside.
YupNopeWelp
Forget losing it in pro kitchens (which I’ve done). I’ve lost my shit in my own home kitchen, making food for my own fam damily.

I mean tbh, the foodservice industry, at all levels, is stressful. It probably shouldn’t be. But it fuckin is.
galtpunk67
using a knife all day everyday, cutting up dead animals and playing with fire and drug addicts….
janeyouignornatslut
Those are all written by people who have never worked in any or in more than one kitchen that they probably quit because they didn’t like it.

Acting dramatic?
In a TV drama?
oh-ok-51
But let their burger take 15 minutes and watch them cuss out a server

Guaranteed none of them knows how to cook.

Two careers I have had:
Restaurant industry.
Trial lawyer.
The first one was more stressful. These commenters can get fucked.

As a Venn Diagram, the people who make fun of food service people for being “overdramatic” about their work environment, and the people who complain if their food takes too long, is practically a circle. Like, 90% eclipse.

its a lot harder than people think.. but also like… most jobs are.
KingTutt91
I hate that this show has popularized the, everybody is a chef, thing. You work years grinding to become a chef, and then you get there and every Tom, Dick and Janice is a chef now. I know it made my last CDCs blood just boil lmao
ZookeepergameBig7281
Working with the fucking idiots that make up the general public is what makes the service industry so unbearable.
iaminabox
No. I learned a long time ago that it’s just food. I am a professional to a tee but do not let impact your life . Don’t be an asshole.
LeontheSimpKennedy
as a food worker , yes their dramatic and annoying , it gets stressful but it’s not like that 24/7

I currently work in cybersecurity incident response. I’ve helped track down and kick out ransomware operators deep in the network of a fortune 100 company where each hour of downtime is counted in the millions of dollars. Every time you think you plug a hole, you find out that they’ve established another backdoor into your critical back end systems. I had the FBI on one line asking for intel about what Im seeing, and the Chief Security Officer of the company on another asking for a situation report every 30 minutes all while my team and I are looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack of gigabytes of logs.
All that being said, I can easily say that the most stress I’ve ever felt at work was 20 years ago when I was the grill station cook at a restaurant on Mother’s day during dinner rush, the order printer is firing like a gatling gun, and the stream of order receipts is now touching the floor. All the while the general manager is standing in the expo window screaming bloody murder at anyone who makes the smallest fuck up. At that moment, you know that any mistake you make has a domino effect on every order coming out of that kitchen. All it takes is for one person to drop the ball one time for 45 minute wait time on orders to turn into absolute mayhem of guests walking out, meals being comped, and your ass getting chewed out in real time by everyone on that line.
Nothing even comes close. So seriously, anyone who says restaurant work isnt a high stress job has no fucking idea what they are talking about.
Ok_Oven_7901
LMFAO someone give those people a pair of nonslips, an apron, and a full screen/rail promptly 🥴
Cloverskeeper
To be fair I genuinely think of and become this meme when it’s dead for a couple of hours and a ticket for a single burger comes in lmao that or me and my staff act like the ticket that came in with a single item 30 mins to close is someone who is out all night wandering the town like a menace we say things like “dear good Michael go home your family misses you”

People should have to do at least 1 year in a hospitality job i think or at least a customer facing job. Like conscription. And you aren’t allowed in pubs or restaurants until then.
Frankenpeenie69420
People who don’t know anything about something, talking as if they do. In other words, business as usual, man. They can think what they want. I just want to cook.

The “Obnoxious overuse of the title Chef” show…
chefmonster
I’ve been cooking professionally for 25 years. This show gets all the little nuances right that give me anxiety, which makes me not want to watch it, while also indulging in the romanticized unrealistic tropes that outsiders believe are true in kitchens, which also makes me not want to watch it.
The actors are amazing. Other than that, it’s pablum.
Dalmassor
I can’t watch the Bear because it triggers genuine PTSD from being in kitchens. I have friends who are chefs at higher end restaurants and still struggle to watch. It’s still a real look(or close to it) look at the chaos of a small kitchen with so much shit to do and so little time
wemustburncarthage
It’s only four hundred pizzas for the seahawks
Impossible-Charity-4
They same the same shit about nurses
SpphosFriend
Yeah this was def posted by someone who has never worked in a kitchen during a rush.
Also I guarantee these people treat foodservice and hospitality workers like shit they scrape of their shoe.
Carmy is a very relatable character for people like myself who work in this industry while having bad anxiety and mental health stuff going on.
