I absolutely loved The Bear, but I can’t believe nobody has mentioned what I think is one of the coolest ‘callbacks’ in season 2. In Episode 4, Marcus goes to Copenhagen to study with an expert pastry chef in Copenhagen. They have an amazing dialogue sequence while they are prepping dessert where the chef, played by Will Poulter, talks about his journey with Marcus. He references a moment in time where he worked at the finest restaurant, thinking he was the best chef in the world. That came crashing down, however, when he met someone so good at their craft that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be the best. It then changed his perspective, and the rest is history. Flash forward to Episode 7, Forks (best episode, IMO), when Ricky is on his way to speak to Olivia Colman, he walks down a hallway with pictures on the wall celebrating the different people who have walked through the doors. It lingers VERY briefly on a picture of Carmy from when he worked there…. BUT in the picture, Carmy was with the chef played by Will Poulter. In that moment, to Richie, he is just recognizing his brother as a famous alumni of the restaurant (because he didn’t go to Copenhagen to meet Will Poulter). However, the show is telling you that the Chef that bested Will Poulter, the chef from his story, the chef that was the best in the world, was Carmy. In essence, it’s an extremely deep cut way to demonstrate how skilled Carmy actually is. In the show’s canon, he’s potentially the best chef in the world.

Bummed there wasn’t more discussion about ep7 “Forks”, as that was by far my fav episode of the season :( Was blown away by how much the season as a whole was a love letter to Michael Mann but this episode in particular was literally Thief or Heat but in a Michelin star kitchen. They even started playing that amazing Tangerine Dream score from Thief which ended up being my favorite needle drop of the season. May be seen as a bit on the nose but it made that episode particularly fantastical/cerebral and just electric to watch. S-tier TV. Can’t wait for season 3.
