Yes, Chef!

Theres the clattering of pots and pans.

(A lot of it.)

Carmy’s Chicken Piccata from The Bear.

Like many, I inhaledThe Bearas soon as its first season blew up last year.

Is it really that intense when theres bigger meat at stake?

Is making the different types of food in such a small place as impossible as it seems?
