TPToA Podcast 291 – The Bear

An incredibly tense and astonishingly well-made kitchen drama
Describing this show in words on a screen undercuts so much of its power and brilliance. It's sensory, its emotional, it's black but it's also funny, heartfelt and moving.

Cousin! F&*K! BEHIND! I NEED HANDS!!!! Are we reviewing a stressful show about kitchens and cooking? YES CHEF!

Is it anxiety inducing and a really tough watch? YES CHEF!

Is it also incredible and powerful?

F&%K COUSIN!…YES F%&KING CHEF!

Peta is our head Chef on this service, and Jill is her incredible Sous Chef. Dion and Quinny are both in the back having snowball fights in the deep freeze.

Here’s the Vulture Article we spoke about in the show talking to the shot in episode 7.

Carmen Berzatto, a brilliant young chef from the fine-dining world is forced to return home to run his family sandwich shop – the Original Beef of Chicagoland – after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he’s used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing reality of trading in Michelin star restaurants for the small business’ kitchen filled with strong-willed and recalcitrant staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother’s suicide.

As always, a massive “thank-you Chef” goes to our community of chief cooks and bottle washers who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live and loud each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. And an especially huge thanks to any of you kind enough to support us by chucking a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch… every bit helps us to keep the doors on this moving feast open.

If you feel so inclined drop us a sub, The more subs we get the more Emotes You get! Every bit of your support helps us to aim for even more delicacies to plate up for y’all on the table!

Don’t fret if you can’t be there for the recording though as you can catch them on Youtube usually later that very night. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss them!

What changes would you like to see us make moving forward?
