The Bear is back for another season as Chef Carmy and the gang at Chicago’s soon-to-be number-one fine dining establishment struggle to maintain a popular restaurant with life’s many ups and downs, whilst recovering from deep-rooted childhood trauma. All in a day’s work…

The Bear burst onto our screens in 2022 with its signature dry humour and high-stakes drama set in a failing Chicago-based restaurant. Chef Carmen, a chef classically trained in French cuisine, returns to the family business after the unexpected death of his beloved brother, where he’s faced with the day-to-day problems of running a dysfunctional kitchen and bringing a team up to his lofty standards.

It’s a show, ultimately, about family – from the one you’re born with to the one that you choose – and many of us who have worked in hospitality before, The Bear is an accurate representation of working in these very real, high-pressure environments and the inevitable camaraderie that forms between the individuals that make up the team.

The Bear Plot

A young chef from the fine dining world returns to Chicago to run his family’s sandwich shop after the unexpected suicide of his brother Michael. Chef Carmy walks into The Original Beef and couldn’t believe the way that it has been run all these years, struggling with his own grief and managing the dysfunctional staff he inherits.

Throughout the first two seasons, Chef Carmy faces the immense challenge of transitioning from the lofty heights of high-end cuisine to the gritty, chaotic world of a failing Chicago shop.
