      We have a higher up in our company that likes to give workers a hard time. Once a co-worker told him “Hey man, you want to talk to me like it’s the 80s, then you should be ready to go out in the parking lot and handle it like it’s the 80s. No one gets fired, no one calls the cops.” He never talked to my co-worker in a demeaning way again. Co-worker still works there too.

      I have looked into this and it does appear his character and what he said was real. There are many stories of chefs being brutally mean including telling people to kill themselves, and this character is based on two actual chefs (the creator nor McHale has said which two but more than likely very successful ones).

I guess I just thought because his boss isn't in the frame when he says it and instead we just get a close up of Carmy, it makes it seem like Carmy has just internalised those thoughts, like his boss is saying it but it's also like his internal monologue. Maybe that's what the director/crew was going for, maybe not.

      I don’t know the particular criteria for the Emmys (if there’s a time requirement to be eligible. Like x actor needs at least 5 minutes of screentime in the show for example) but Joel here and Jon Bernthal as Mikey would be considered guest stars in the show by the general public! :)

It's part of why so many people who've worked in the industry love the show. Those small details that only they'd pick up on are all there.

      12 years of cooking in JB restaurants and under former Michelin chefs, as well as hole in the wall and other family run spots. My partner had to hold me up straight after we watched this scene in ep2 together. Chain smoking on the balcony at 2am and only hearing their voice come through in broken phrases brought me to tears. My partner had to remind me that I'm not there anymore, we're home, we're safe. PTSD reaches beyond sudden trauma and battlefields. Printer dreams/nightmares are real, and they suck. Chefs, you are seen, you are heard, and oui chef we're going to make it through service. I love y'all so much. Remember, we're just hanging out with our friends and cooking dinner. ❤

      It is a lot of stress working in the kitchen, but like working out you enjoy that rush of adrenaline the chaos of it all it's a good feeling. Sometimes I miss and wished I could have gone another 5 years in it, had to leave it for two reasons one was I became a alcoholic just to deal with the assistant chief and the stress, and two I had take care of my 2 year old at that time. I feel like a loser, cause I throw in the towel. I've had many people tell that I'm not, but to me cooking felt like my life the joy to see others eat the food you make, and I killed that part of myself so I could be responsible for my kid. I don't want pity, but instead all of you chiefs out there keep doing what you love.

    There are many things that are brilliant about this scene. The first is that you're not 100% sure if the head chef is actually insulting Carmy all at once, or this was Carmy in his mind imagining all the aggregate insults he's heard from the guy over his course of working there.
    The other minute detail is that I think one of the chefs that is briefly in the scene as the saucier frantically goes back to her station to redo the sauce, he's actually a real haute cuisine chef....I forget the name....and you can see him very briefly glance at the sauce with a slight look of "you're screwed". It's like he knows she's gonna be sent home. This is just perfect.

      Much harder for those who are known for comedy or do sitcoms to land dramatic roles. This is mostly because their agents want them to earn their agency money via comedy (hence why agencies divide actors into TV and film for the most part depending on the genre of TV they do) while producers see them as mainly actors who do comedy. So if an actor whose first major role where three years in a sitcom wants to do their first movie produced by a major studio it'll probably be a comedy. The longer they stay in comedy the harder. Same thing with those in horror or thrillers.

    Joel McHale and Oliver Platt are great guests to this show; I think Carmy is an unreliable narrator to this memory for a number of reasons, but that doesn’t mean the Chef isn’t closer to this than he is further away

      You're wrong about Carmy being an unreliable narrator for this memory, respectfully. If you've ever worked in kitchens for an extended period in your life, or have spent at least a full year in a legitimate fine dining kitchen, you'll understand, and more importantly, feel, on a deep level, how painfully accurate this scene is, down to a lot of little details. It is a dramatization, of course, but there is a reason that this show in particular seems to resonate profoundly with industry professionals. Something to consider, at least.

      @@hellfish2309 I'm not sure what hairs you're trying to split here, really. Your point about the cdc seems to be moot. It is necessary to show that experience in full, because it provides context for the world that he came from, contrasted to where he is now in the show. When you understand that your beliefs about yourself quite literally create your reality, and your experience of it, it is, in fact, necessary to show those personal interpretations of those experiences to make characters more relatable to other people. Unless you're trying to argue some other point that isn't readily apparent. What, in your opinion, does a "reliable" narrator consist of? If the feeling, and realness of a particular situation is accurately and faithfully portrayed in a given scene, then that would seem to qualify the "reliability" of the elements involved.

Not that I’ve worked NYC elite, but I’ve worked in kitchens all over the spectrum. The air is definitely different between a bar kitchen and a fine dining restaurant.
    Also that blink from White at the end after hands was perfect. That’s basically all you can do when you have an exec chef over your shoulder ripping into you.

    Its so sad cause working in low end restaurants, constantly being be littled for being the youngest and graduating from a culinary school i was always told my degree is fake and it doesnt prove anything no matter how hard i worked and how good people said my food was... when i finally broke out and started woeking in higher end restaurants i thought things would change... it didn't... in fact it was worse. I'm sure there are great kitchens out there with great chefs and owners and staff but tbh after 12 years in the industry i have yet to find it. And i know to some 12 years is not a lot considering the amount of time and effort i have seen some people put into this community but I'm tired... maybe i wasn't meant for this idk im not having self pity or at least i dont think i am but it has taken a toll... as much as i do love working in this industry after 12 years i had to take a break. Change careers for a bit. Maybe one day I'll go back.

      Its a good thing to step back and analyze everything, and I applaud you for that and especially taking a look at other careers, but don’t let anyone take away your love and passion for food no matter if its 12 or 20 years

    If you ask chefs why they treat their underlings so poorly, they'll say it's because they were treated the same way when they were underlings. So "rite of passage" or some other BS that a lot of industries use to excuse such behavior.

      @@1snorelaxYou stick around so you can change it for the better for the next generation. It was like that in my trade as well, the old salt Journeymen used to force apprentices to do menial tasks like file a metal block into a round ball, then file it back to a perfect square again. But a lot of us don't treat our apprentices like that anymore, we want them to succeed and its a different generation.

    The smash cut to the sandwich shop is perfect. One setting is pure stress in the middle of an absolutely controlled environment, the other is pure stress in the middle of absolute chaos. Also shout out to Pure Evil Jeff Winger for *nailing* the abusive head chef character.
