The Bear is closer to showing the hell that culinary life can be than I ever expected a video series to get (unapologetically, no less). I had to stop at a couple of points in the first half of S01, not to mention completely skipping defensively through the Xmas episode. The whole thing choked me up and had me twisted around feelings I've not battled in years. Therapeutic, but still. Gawdamn. ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ ๐ค๐ฝ
I retired from the profession, and watching this series was like reliving the life.
Same, more or less. When Bourdain checked out, I hung up the apron, but I was already making moves that direction at that point. Just the last straw. Watching this series was difficult at times, blissfully cathartic and nostalgic at others, but masterfully informed always. A beautiful piece and well worth the regurge ambush moments.
