I remember watching that scene where Marcus comes up to Carmy with the donut and I had to pause the episode to facepalm because there was NO WAY he thought that was a good idea LMAO
The only part I didn't like about this show is Carmy apologizing to Marcus even tho what Marcus did was probably one of the most irrensponsible and idiotic thing I've ever seen.
@@bratprica6383 Same, but it is what it is. I guess if nothing else it shows what kind of person Carmy is at the end of the day even though he constantly loses his shit lol
i’ve heard from real pastry chefs that what marcus did this episode isn’t actually farfetched. one guy said that because pâttissieres have entirely different menus than the rest of the kitchen, it’s easy to drift off into their own little world. they have more freedom compared to the other chefs and sometimes need reminders and/or lots of self control to keep from sinking too deeply into whatever’s inspired them recently. marcus is too new to this to control himself and carmy wasn’t intuitive enough to keep him on track. bad situation all around.
Sydney, Marcus Carmy that's the order of the blame. Sydney for the pre-order that's a big one, and then for nagging on Richie for helping not to mention she stabbed him, Marcus for doing donuts at a time like this like wtf. And Carmy for flipping off which went a little overboard but understandably so.
@@rodvincetolosa9386 def disagree. Marcus was working on exactly what he was supposed to before shit hit the fan. Him being in his own world makes perfect sense given the amount of yelling and batching that happens on a regular basis at the Beef. Sydney stabbed Richie, she should have apologized, Richie however wasn't paying attention in a kitchen full of dangerous shit. It could be argued that he was focused on Carmy, but given how much he consistently eggs Carmy on a regular basis, that argument isn't very convincing. The pre order thing most definitely is not Syds fault. Carmy already shifts a bunch of work that she made clear she did not want on her. A mistake like leaving tye pre-orders up is understandable. BUT it's a problem that could have been handled in two fucking seconds. "oops. O well, those people are SOL cause we can't do that." THATS what Carmy should have done. Instead he had a break down because he won't get help for his issues. And in doing so not only did he cause his two best employees to quit, he STILL was unable to fill the orders. his implosion caused the entire kitchen to implode and they didn't even make a cent for it.
10:52 Clever piece of writing here: Ebra is describing how his country, Somalia, collapsed, but it also applies to everything that happens at The Beef in this episode.
He sexually harassed Sydney the moment he saw her and then constantly pushed her buttons the whole time. He even admits maybe he deserved to be stabbed.
When Ebra was talking about Somalia becoming a failed state with factions all fighting each other, I feel like that was pointing out what was going on in the kitchen with everything going to hell

I never noticed Richie lowkey tried to defend him immediately after by asking Carmy to calm down, which obviously didn't work. But Carmy yelling at Marcus probably made him feel it was too far.
The main thing was to switch off the pre-orders programme, the door-dash connection or whatever. Just cancel most of those orders and do the digital refund to get things back under control. But I feel like everyone was at fault except Tina and Ebrahim. Sydney was being mean, Richie was right about that. Richie was being unreasonable about the review of her dish.

I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT SEEING THEM REACT TO EPISODE 6 & 7! Sorry, all caps because I'm anxious and excited, for two vastly differing reasons btw because episode 7 was like a warm hug after 6. The girls are gonna freak
It's tells a lot when you say "if I were ... i would have ALSO ..." about every chatracter. That explains how well written and organic this show is. Every character being unique and whole. And yeah, it was filmed in ONE SHOT, the black square was for tv commercial, but it was still one shot. Which is something veeery incredible to choreograph. Plus the acting, so good
yall were mad that sydney was coming at richie but you gotta realised that this was sydneys braking point and richie hadnt been anything but rude to her since she came, he deserved that one
I relate to this episode so badly. I once a super busy restaurant and it was only two of us on line. The tickets coming in… the anger of having so much to do… people not doing what they are supposed to be doing. It takes everything to not slip into the madness that is working in a restaurant.
Maybe it’s because I was more prepared for that ep by the advance hype, but I still think this is the most stressful episode. Like internal family drama stresses me out way less than the idea of hundreds of customers waiting for food.
When Richie snapped back at Sydney (9:18) it didn't even sound like he was mad and just hurt. It sounded like he was on the verge of tears and he just wanted her to stop so he did the only thing he thought would stop her which was just call her a bitch but not even that he asked her why she was only acting like a bitch cause he knows she isn't. So fucking sad to hear the pain in his voice. Ebon Moss-Bachrach is so good at Richie!
Lol what? I wouldn’t quit if I had richies job either. He doesn’t do Jack shit. Ofcourse he isn’t stressed in this situation because he doesn’t give a fuck about his job unlike syd and marcus. What a dumb take lol
@@kevincucumber1118 but he gives a fuck specially for the place bro, dont say bullshit, just because he dont have skills dont mean that he dont care for the job or the place
@@kevincucumber1118 This job and his daughter are literally everything he has at this point, he cares deeply about it in his own way, that's why he holds on to this idea of keeping the place the same. Like Tina said, where would he even go if he quit?
@@go_golden my point though is that he doesnt do anything.. he doesnt work he just takes up space. sure he might "care in his own way" but thats not helping karmy or his coworkers. he doesnt do shit. my response was to OP because they claim he is "used to working in stressful conditions" while syd and marcus are not but the reality is that if richie had the amount of work load and stress that those two do then he would have walked out a long time ago. but he cant do anything so no one is going to waste their time trying to get him to help. he is a lost cause and a waste of space. so again to reiterate my point hes only capable of "handling stressful situations" because he has no responsibilty. when you arent responsible for anything and you dont do anything but fuck around and hey in peoples way trying to actually work then yea ofcourse when shit hits the fan it wont matter because you sit on your ass and bullshit all day anyway! i say this with 10 years of restaurant experience under my belt. ive seen plenty of useless tools just like richie in kitchens ive worked
When I finished episode 7 and before I started watching episode 8, I was fairly sure that this would be like a stand-alone dream-like episode, maybe like a nightmare of Carmy's because of his insomnia or something.
I was really pissed at Sydney and Marcus for leaving in the middle of that nightmare. Marcus just wasn’t doing his job. Sydney made a series of honest mistakes but it was still her that caused them to have a huge amount of orders that they couldn’t fill. She left the preorder option on for the to go app she insisted on. She got an article written about them which probably caused a lot of those orders. Again all honest mistakes but it was still her fault. And the fact that she melted down and started taking out her frustrations on everyone else and then just bailed saying “this is not on me” was completely infuriating.
Thank you for reacting to this! I hope that you both visit the Windy City one day soon and definitely not in the winter. It’s an AMAZING and beautiful place.
i love her, but even i found her a bit intolerable this ep. she literally caused the problem but refused to take responsibility. she crossed the line with some of the things she said to Richie; not only that but also stabbed him. Things would have been all well and good if she apologized to him... but she doesn't. The more I am watching (going into season 2) I can kinda understand why that is... but it still makes me feel some type of way.
@@remholloway2579The stabbing was obviously unnecessary, but Richie was tormenting her for most of the season. Why is she the bad one when she stands up for herself?
@@nfr5946 I don’t think that she is “the bad one” per say. They all have their negative qualities. I think Richie is too stuck in his old ways making him insufferable, and I think Carmy is a bit of a hypocrite. But what ticked me off about Syd in this ep is the fact that she caused the problem. Then at the end of the ep says that it is not on her. Basically not taking any responsibility and leaving the team to cover for her. That was intolerable. What happens between her and Richie I think they both went too far.
@@remholloway2579 Sydney made a mistake. Listen to what Carmen says in ep 5 to Markus about mistakes. Additionally, because of “performance punishment “, Sydney had been overloaded and other people weren’t doing their part. If Richie learned the tablet like she asked him to, or Carmen actually support her, her mistake would have been caught. Carmen losing his mind wasn’t about Sydney’s mistake. It was his unprocessed emotions coming to the surface and he took it out on Sydney. That’s why she said it wasn’t on her, because Carmy’s response wasn’t warranted in proportion to her innocent mistake. She quit as someone backed into her and got stabbed. She was turning into someone she didn’t want to be, and standing up to irrationally bad treatment. If she stayed, Carmen could have (inadvertently) treated her even worse. Thankfully Carmy is better then most of us and understood why he is the one who had to apologize. It’s his restaurant and he wasn’t a good boss. His bad reaction fell like dominos to everyone else. The writers are very clever. They really know what they are doing even though a lot of the audience does not get it.
@Itsupimupwhoa whoa whoa yourself. How the hell are you even questioning whether she crossed a line or not. If the personal comment about his kid wasn't far enough over the line she literally brandished a knife and brought the threat of violence into it. It doesn't matter that Richie has been a major asshole to her that is undoubtedly unacceptable workplace behavior.
The main thing I love, is that all three main characters (i consider the main characters to be Syd, Richie, and Carmy) are partially to blame for the mess that happened. Carmy being stressed made him explosive out of fear turning everyone on edge, Syd being impatient and a novice causing her new system to fail, and having her crack under-pressure, and Richie, who was just being Richie (if anything Richie was trying to be the most helpful he's ever been besides episode 1, but due to his personality he makes the situation worse) Yes Marcus messed up as well, but he's a supporting character in my eyes, but he's the only one objectively in the wrong, Syd, Carmy, and Richie are just trying to do the best they can in the moment.
Way too many people let Carmy off the hook in this episode. He completely fucked up. Did Syd make a mistake, yes. Did Marcus not pay attention to the situation at hand, absolutely. But Carmy is the leader and as soon as one thing went wrong he completely went off the rails and set them all up to fail. I've worked in kitchens and guys like Carmy don't last long because no one is going to want to work with them.
i mean how many times do you have to tell Syd in a nice way to WAIT..its not ready. how many times does Marcus have to be told to please put the donut aside for a minute?? id lose my shit too fuck that
@@powertrip25 When he loses his shit on Syd during service it has nothing to do with her dish. He literally just randomly brings it up because he’s getting stressed. Marcus should have better awareness but the freaking out Carmy does helps absolutely no one. There is nothing they could do but work as hard they could. That’s why Richie tries to get him to calm down. Also Carmy easily could have canceled all the orders or at least stopped the machine if he just took a breath but he freaked out.
@@24pagedown Right. Carmy could've told Marcus not now instead of slapping him and screaming at his face. Discipline him later. For now tell him he got cakes to make lmao
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 Bruh, he was told that like 4 times just this episode alone by diffrent people, what is he, like 14 ? I can understand Syd leaving but Marcus behaved absolutely braindead.
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 "Sorry boss, couldn't catch the suspect because I was too busy watching Hot Fuzz! Sorry sir, didn't file employee wages because I was making paper airplanes! Sorry ma'am, didn't prep for surgery because I was reading my favourite book!" Marcus' actions would be wild in any other job context. He already got warned twice and still had the lack of awareness to walk up to Carmy like 'Hey man try my donut :D' like it was fuck-around-o-clock. Even Syd was pissed at him for still fucking about with donuts instead of doing his cakes, the entire kitchen told him to wake up.
You got maybe a month left of good weather because it starts to get cold here. So probably next May would be the soonest you can come visit and experience nice weather? June and July and on so on it’ll get warmer and hotter and so on.
As someone that worked in a kitchen i must say that i'm more impressed that there wasn't more violence in this episode, but maybe is because of how kitchens are in my country i dunno.
I can’t be the only person that was mad at Sydney during this episode. I love her character she’s definitely one of my favorites, but her quitting like that actually made me so mad. She gets frustrated that Carm won’t implement all of her plans and ideas right away. She wants to be partners with him and help run the restaurant, but the minute things go wrong she just dips. If you want to be in charge you can’t leave when shit hits the fan. I get she was mad at Carm and Ritchie, but by leaving she also was fucking over Tina, Ebra, and everyone else. Also this whole thing was literally on her, she left the pre orders open all night. That doesn’t change the fact that everyone else reacted poorly and made things worse. But for her to act like she played no part in this disaster, and then just walk out on everyone else who was working was some bullshit.
yea i have to agree... and i hate that I have too. Automatically I want to defend her, but she literally caused this mess, not to mention stabbing someone and hasn't in 2 seasons apologized for it. I think I would have felt a bit better if she finished out the day and then quit. But to leave like that, its a lack of respect and common decency.
Did you miss all the times she saved the day when things went wrong before? Like how she built a grill out of construction materials because they couldn’t afford to miss a service, how she solved the gangster issue? She instituted the French Brigade even though she didn’t want to, then Carmen literally ran out on her? What is she supposed to do? She didn’t dip at the first sign of crisis. What Carmen did in ep 7 is exactly what he said he wouldn’t do. He refused to listen to her, overloaded her and then he severely over reacted which was fuelled by things Sydney wasn’t involved in. He was being abusive and taking his insecurities out on her. By things she wasn’t involved in, I mean Carmen’s family situation, grief situation and loan situation. He could easily sell the restaurant and be done with it. Natalie said no one was asking him to fix it. All of that was a part of Carmen’s meltdown. Carmen had a severe failure of leadership and it seems no one thing Sydney deserved any dignity. I never saw her saying she wanted to be partners. She noticed he needed help and she wanted him to be her mentor. That is why she tolerated him overloading her, until she couldn’t. Her still working there after someone getting stabbed, would have made her such an effective employee. No one should tolerate what Carmen was dishing out.
..oh yeah.. this does happen, i seen it personally. we had two of our cooks quit, while opening on our biggest convention in town (comic-con) while the dishwasher called out. i can still hear that fking ticket machine printing non stop lol. we were borderline closing, my team and i convinced our chef to keep fireing food. thats one time when we really worked as a team. after a 2hr rush, we all laied on the floor like we went to war and back.. our manager had to jump in to help with dishes hahaha.. what a day
working in a kitchen for the last 10 plus years i have never seen a more accurate descriptions of kitchen life than this show only thing its missing is FOH (front of house like waitresses and bartenders) drama
3 decades.. i spent 3 decades BOH and FOH. This episode triggered industry-related PTSD. I've had shifts and fevered nightmares that resemble ALMOST EXACTLY this episode. I seriously considered skipping this episode's reaction. Shout out to all of you who have had a chef scream at you to step TF off their expo. 😬
Sydney was a baby there and she should be blamed in my opinion, especially her mistake in online orders. I know that episode 8 is watched already, so Sydney also should have apologized for her shitty behaviour. Marcus too. He saw that they are so fucking busy but instead he was doing his stuff, not his work After this and next episode my opinion about them was worse, I liked all the chars up to this episode, but these two really messed everything up. They are the reason why I didn't like some moments of season 2
I'm watching the show on par with you, so I haven't seen more than this but the minute it was mentioned that Syd gave her dish to the food critic on accident, I called bullshit, suddenly her suspicious behavior regarding the dish and the client last episode made so much sense, she knew the guy was a food critic and decided to take matters into her own hands. I like all characters but struggle a lot with Richie and yet at this very moment I was somehow with him, he was the most level-headed and wanted to help, he knows shit, he could've help but no... Syd and her stress and big ass ego couldn't allow help from Richie or Tina, then she literally stabs Richie? the fuck? and what's worse she quit at the worst time in the worst way when this whole shit was HER fault... and the cherry on top was Marcus with his quite frankly dumb as fuck timing. I was 100% in the same mood as Carmy at this point.
Yeah, I think the point of the episode was to show the weakness in everyone's character. I also don't think she knew the guy was a critic, she just went out after carmy said no in anger and slammed the dish in front of the guy nearest to the kitchen.
Carmy treated her like shit, and then she started treating everyone else like shit. It's not just that Carmy lost it at her, but who she turned into in order to cope with it. Syd is a fucking angel for recognizing what was going on and removing herself. This is ALL on Carmy for how checked out he's been.
You find out the type of people who can handle pressure and get shit done and those who can't and need time away. Syd made a huge mistake that relatively effects Carmy the most, then walked away.
she annoyed me too bc it was her idea to bring the machine in & she made a huge mistake with it & is shocked everything went to shit & left like nah lol
I genuinely didn't like Sydney in this episode. This is absolutely all on her and she's going behind Carmy's back to make his restaurant into something before he's ready to take that step. And she continues to be annoying in the second season when it comes tona certain other character
Claire was annoying and Sydney was correct to demand Carmy’s focus lmao Carmy asked Sydney to be his partner in the business and all their issues in this episode was forgiven or let go. The least Carmy can do is focus on this incredibly risky business venture he asked Sydney to come on to.
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 Absolutely agreed on the last part. Disagree on Claire being annoying. Blaming Claire was not the way to go about it. She had nothing to do with any of it. She wants Carmy to succeed. If Carmy can't deal with two fronts at once, that's on him. In fact it seemed like Claire was inspiring Carmy to find some cool options for the menu and Syd just got jealous that someone else was in Carmy's ear
@@andrewichigo I dont think it was jealousy that someone else has carmy 's ear. The thing was that they were building the menu together. Then all of a sudden it turned into Carmy and Claire working on the menu even though she has nothing to do with the restaurant. Like logically think about it yourself. If you were getting into business with someone but your partner started going off with a third party coming up with ideas with them for your project that your partner is supposed to work through with you... how would that make you feel? Not jealous, but frustrated. In my case more than a little angry. Going back to Sydney and adding the experience that she had going around to all the places she visited to eat food at and talked to some of the chefs; i would also be very scared entering into this venture in such a limited time frame with someone who is not 100% focused. I got where Carmy was coming from, and while I wished he could have had his cake and eat it too lord knows he deserves it... but that was so not the time.
@@andrewichigo Even though I didn't like Sydney's actions this episode, I think Syd in season 2 was completely justified with her concerns. She was legit doing a lot of work going around tasting stuff and gathering info for their menu while Carmie flaked on her to hang out with Claire. I didn't get any inclination that Sydney was jealous of Claire at all, just frustrated with how they were supposed to be partners yet Carmie was coming up short in that regard.

I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT SEEING THEM REACT TO EPISODE 6 & 7! Sorry, all caps because I'm anxious and excited, for two vastly differing reasons btw because episode 7 was like a warm hug after 6. The girls are gonna freak
It's tells a lot when you say "if I were ... i would have ALSO ..." about every chatracter. That explains how well written and organic this show is. Every character being unique and whole.
And yeah, it was filmed in ONE SHOT, the black square was for tv commercial, but it was still one shot. Which is something veeery incredible to choreograph. Plus the acting, so good
yall were mad that sydney was coming at richie but you gotta realised that this was sydneys braking point and richie hadnt been anything but rude to her since she came, he deserved that one
7 was so insane. It was the epitome of crazy.
Cant wait to see their reaction to the Christian Dinner and the last episode of s2
I relate to this episode so badly. I once a super busy restaurant and it was only two of us on line. The tickets coming in… the anger of having so much to do… people not doing what they are supposed to be doing. It takes everything to not slip into the madness that is working in a restaurant.
After this episode, I thought there was no way they could top this level of chaos, but then "fishes" came out 💀
that whole episode i had to watch between my fingers... ive never cringed so hard
Maybe it’s because I was more prepared for that ep by the advance hype, but I still think this is the most stressful episode. Like internal family drama stresses me out way less than the idea of hundreds of customers waiting for food.
Thanks for spoiling man!
When Richie snapped back at Sydney (9:18) it didn't even sound like he was mad and just hurt. It sounded like he was on the verge of tears and he just wanted her to stop so he did the only thing he thought would stop her which was just call her a bitch but not even that he asked her why she was only acting like a bitch cause he knows she isn't. So fucking sad to hear the pain in his voice. Ebon Moss-Bachrach is so good at Richie!
The difference between Richie, who is used to working in stressful situations and Marcus and Sidney who quit.
Lol what? I wouldn’t quit if I had richies job either. He doesn’t do Jack shit. Ofcourse he isn’t stressed in this situation because he doesn’t give a fuck about his job unlike syd and marcus. What a dumb take lol
@@kevincucumber1118 but he gives a fuck specially for the place bro, dont say bullshit, just because he dont have skills dont mean that he dont care for the job or the place
@@kevincucumber1118 This job and his daughter are literally everything he has at this point, he cares deeply about it in his own way, that's why he holds on to this idea of keeping the place the same. Like Tina said, where would he even go if he quit?
@@go_golden my point though is that he doesnt do anything.. he doesnt work he just takes up space. sure he might "care in his own way" but thats not helping karmy or his coworkers. he doesnt do shit. my response was to OP because they claim he is "used to working in stressful conditions" while syd and marcus are not but the reality is that if richie had the amount of work load and stress that those two do then he would have walked out a long time ago. but he cant do anything so no one is going to waste their time trying to get him to help. he is a lost cause and a waste of space. so again to reiterate my point hes only capable of "handling stressful situations" because he has no responsibilty. when you arent responsible for anything and you dont do anything but fuck around and hey in peoples way trying to actually work then yea ofcourse when shit hits the fan it wont matter because you sit on your ass and bullshit all day anyway! i say this with 10 years of restaurant experience under my belt. ive seen plenty of useless tools just like richie in kitchens ive worked
@@kevincucumber1118beautiful comment. 💕
I was sweating just watching this reaction. What a masterpiece of an episode!
I would quit too LMAO
When I finished episode 7 and before I started watching episode 8, I was fairly sure that this would be like a stand-alone dream-like episode, maybe like a nightmare of Carmy's because of his insomnia or something.
Marcus not even trying to help is the worst part in this situation. Mf was making cakes when everything was imploding.
donuts... if he woulda been making cakes that would have aliviated the situation... but donuts are not even on the menu. its a side project
So intense 😭 my blood pressure exploded just rewatching it... so good but so stressful. ⭐ 5 stars
Man I just finished this episode and when Marcus showed Carm the donut EVEN I almost lost it. Like bro 💀💀
I was really pissed at Sydney and Marcus for leaving in the middle of that nightmare. Marcus just wasn’t doing his job. Sydney made a series of honest mistakes but it was still her that caused them to have a huge amount of orders that they couldn’t fill. She left the preorder option on for the to go app she insisted on. She got an article written about them which probably caused a lot of those orders. Again all honest mistakes but it was still her fault. And the fact that she melted down and started taking out her frustrations on everyone else and then just bailed saying “this is not on me” was completely infuriating.
Yeah, that literally made me mad at Sydney at that point.
This episode is basically my last few braincells at work
Thank you for reacting to this! I hope that you both visit the Windy City one day soon and definitely not in the winter. It’s an AMAZING and beautiful place.
I dont know how some people hate Syndey, shes hilarious haha
i love her, but even i found her a bit intolerable this ep. she literally caused the problem but refused to take responsibility. she crossed the line with some of the things she said to Richie; not only that but also stabbed him. Things would have been all well and good if she apologized to him... but she doesn't. The more I am watching (going into season 2) I can kinda understand why that is... but it still makes me feel some type of way.
@@remholloway2579The stabbing was obviously unnecessary, but Richie was tormenting her for most of the season. Why is she the bad one when she stands up for herself?
@@nfr5946 I don’t think that she is “the bad one” per say. They all have their negative qualities. I think Richie is too stuck in his old ways making him insufferable, and I think Carmy is a bit of a hypocrite. But what ticked me off about Syd in this ep is the fact that she caused the problem. Then at the end of the ep says that it is not on her. Basically not taking any responsibility and leaving the team to cover for her. That was intolerable. What happens between her and Richie I think they both went too far.
@@remholloway2579 Sydney made a mistake. Listen to what Carmen says in ep 5 to Markus about mistakes.
Additionally, because of “performance punishment “, Sydney had been overloaded and other people weren’t doing their part. If Richie learned the tablet like she asked him to, or Carmen actually support her, her mistake would have been caught.
Carmen losing his mind wasn’t about Sydney’s mistake. It was his unprocessed emotions coming to the surface and he took it out on Sydney. That’s why she said it wasn’t on her, because Carmy’s response wasn’t warranted in proportion to her innocent mistake. She quit as someone backed into her and got stabbed. She was turning into someone she didn’t want to be, and standing up to irrationally bad treatment. If she stayed, Carmen could have (inadvertently) treated her even worse. Thankfully Carmy is better then most of us and understood why he is the one who had to apologize. It’s his restaurant and he wasn’t a good boss. His bad reaction fell like dominos to everyone else.
The writers are very clever. They really know what they are doing even though a lot of the audience does not get it.
@Itsupimupwhoa whoa whoa yourself. How the hell are you even questioning whether she crossed a line or not. If the personal comment about his kid wasn't far enough over the line she literally brandished a knife and brought the threat of violence into it. It doesn't matter that Richie has been a major asshole to her that is undoubtedly unacceptable workplace behavior.
Can't wait until you two get to season 2, it somehow gets SO MUCH BETTER
this episode is the most stressful I ever felt from watching a tv show (and I loved every second)
This episode is an experience. Crazy ride.
The main thing I love, is that all three main characters (i consider the main characters to be Syd, Richie, and Carmy) are partially to blame for the mess that happened. Carmy being stressed made him explosive out of fear turning everyone on edge, Syd being impatient and a novice causing her new system to fail, and having her crack under-pressure, and Richie, who was just being Richie (if anything Richie was trying to be the most helpful he's ever been besides episode 1, but due to his personality he makes the situation worse)
Yes Marcus messed up as well, but he's a supporting character in my eyes, but he's the only one objectively in the wrong, Syd, Carmy, and Richie are just trying to do the best they can in the moment.
Perfect reaction to Marcus showing off his donuts to Carmy XD
Way too many people let Carmy off the hook in this episode. He completely fucked up. Did Syd make a mistake, yes. Did Marcus not pay attention to the situation at hand, absolutely. But Carmy is the leader and as soon as one thing went wrong he completely went off the rails and set them all up to fail. I've worked in kitchens and guys like Carmy don't last long because no one is going to want to work with them.
i mean how many times do you have to tell Syd in a nice way to WAIT..its not ready. how many times does Marcus have to be told to please put the donut aside for a minute?? id lose my shit too fuck that
@@powertrip25 When he loses his shit on Syd during service it has nothing to do with her dish. He literally just randomly brings it up because he’s getting stressed.
Marcus should have better awareness but the freaking out Carmy does helps absolutely no one. There is nothing they could do but work as hard they could. That’s why Richie tries to get him to calm down.
Also Carmy easily could have canceled all the orders or at least stopped the machine if he just took a breath but he freaked out.
@@24pagedown Right. Carmy could've told Marcus not now instead of slapping him and screaming at his face. Discipline him later. For now tell him he got cakes to make lmao
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 Bruh, he was told that like 4 times just this episode alone by diffrent people, what is he, like 14 ? I can understand Syd leaving but Marcus behaved absolutely braindead.
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 "Sorry boss, couldn't catch the suspect because I was too busy watching Hot Fuzz! Sorry sir, didn't file employee wages because I was making paper airplanes! Sorry ma'am, didn't prep for surgery because I was reading my favourite book!" Marcus' actions would be wild in any other job context. He already got warned twice and still had the lack of awareness to walk up to Carmy like 'Hey man try my donut :D' like it was fuck-around-o-clock. Even Syd was pissed at him for still fucking about with donuts instead of doing his cakes, the entire kitchen told him to wake up.
You got maybe a month left of good weather because it starts to get cold here. So probably next May would be the soonest you can come visit and experience nice weather? June and July and on so on it’ll get warmer and hotter and so on.
This show is so freaking good omg, just finished the 2nd season and its even better than the first one that was already amazing
As someone that worked in a kitchen i must say that i'm more impressed that there wasn't more violence in this episode, but maybe is because of how kitchens are in my country i dunno.
I can’t be the only person that was mad at Sydney during this episode. I love her character she’s definitely one of my favorites, but her quitting like that actually made me so mad. She gets frustrated that Carm won’t implement all of her plans and ideas right away. She wants to be partners with him and help run the restaurant, but the minute things go wrong she just dips. If you want to be in charge you can’t leave when shit hits the fan. I get she was mad at Carm and Ritchie, but by leaving she also was fucking over Tina, Ebra, and everyone else. Also this whole thing was literally on her, she left the pre orders open all night. That doesn’t change the fact that everyone else reacted poorly and made things worse. But for her to act like she played no part in this disaster, and then just walk out on everyone else who was working was some bullshit.
yea i have to agree... and i hate that I have too. Automatically I want to defend her, but she literally caused this mess, not to mention stabbing someone and hasn't in 2 seasons apologized for it. I think I would have felt a bit better if she finished out the day and then quit. But to leave like that, its a lack of respect and common decency.
Did you miss all the times she saved the day when things went wrong before? Like how she built a grill out of construction materials because they couldn’t afford to miss a service, how she solved the gangster issue? She instituted the French Brigade even though she didn’t want to, then Carmen literally ran out on her? What is she supposed to do?
She didn’t dip at the first sign of crisis. What Carmen did in ep 7 is exactly what he said he wouldn’t do. He refused to listen to her, overloaded her and then he severely over reacted which was fuelled by things Sydney wasn’t involved in. He was being abusive and taking his insecurities out on her.
By things she wasn’t involved in, I mean Carmen’s family situation, grief situation and loan situation. He could easily sell the restaurant and be done with it. Natalie said no one was asking him to fix it. All of that was a part of Carmen’s meltdown.
Carmen had a severe failure of leadership and it seems no one thing Sydney deserved any dignity.
I never saw her saying she wanted to be partners. She noticed he needed help and she wanted him to be her mentor. That is why she tolerated him overloading her, until she couldn’t. Her still working there after someone getting stabbed, would have made her such an effective employee. No one should tolerate what Carmen was dishing out.
You’re one of the few Sydney fans I’ve seen that has this view. I love Sydney’s character as well.
1 take episode, pretty awesome
I can't wait for the season finale ❤
..oh yeah.. this does happen, i seen it personally. we had two of our cooks quit, while opening on our biggest convention in town (comic-con) while the dishwasher called out. i can still hear that fking ticket machine printing non stop lol. we were borderline closing, my team and i convinced our chef to keep fireing food. thats one time when we really worked as a team. after a 2hr rush, we all laied on the floor like we went to war and back.. our manager had to jump in to help with dishes hahaha.. what a day
Interesting that people actually think that Carmy deserved apologies.. Carmy is the one who needs to apologize. He treated everyone like trash
*One of the best one-shot episodes out there.*
When the episode ended I was like "wait, was all of this one shot?" I was speechless
working in a kitchen for the last 10 plus years i have never seen a more accurate descriptions of kitchen life than this show only thing its missing is FOH (front of house like waitresses and bartenders) drama
Best reaction as always. The reaction to Marcus: hilarious and reaal
3 decades.. i spent 3 decades BOH and FOH. This episode triggered industry-related PTSD. I've had shifts and fevered nightmares that resemble ALMOST EXACTLY this episode.
I seriously considered skipping this episode's reaction.
Shout out to all of you who have had a chef scream at you to step TF off their expo. 😬
This is where the Marcus autism allegations started
I was a food expo for a year and a half for this high end restaurant. I was Carmy every weekend. No exaggeration. And I hated it, and loved it.
I think in real life they would likely just refund the orders and move on. But damn this makes for some good television. Such a fantastic episode
You need to add to the watchlist the tv show snowfall
Does anyone know if they plan on watching any new series in the future?
you caught on to it being a one take so fast
marcus really f-ed up there. Read the room Marcus.
And it absolutely is on Sydney. She messed up with the preorder system and everything.
this episode gives me high blood pressure
I have been waiting for this ep 😂
this exactly my reaction
S01E07 "I don't think Richie's a good influence".
Sure. We'll see what you think by S02E07.
Sydney was a baby there and she should be blamed in my opinion, especially her mistake in online orders. I know that episode 8 is watched already, so Sydney also should have apologized for her shitty behaviour. Marcus too. He saw that they are so fucking busy but instead he was doing his stuff, not his work
After this and next episode my opinion about them was worse, I liked all the chars up to this episode, but these two really messed everything up. They are the reason why I didn't like some moments of season 2
Guns are great? He used it for protection. What are you on about 😂
Camry deserves an apology from Sydney and Marcus
Agreed, but we never got it, unfortunately
I'm watching the show on par with you, so I haven't seen more than this but the minute it was mentioned that Syd gave her dish to the food critic on accident, I called bullshit, suddenly her suspicious behavior regarding the dish and the client last episode made so much sense, she knew the guy was a food critic and decided to take matters into her own hands. I like all characters but struggle a lot with Richie and yet at this very moment I was somehow with him, he was the most level-headed and wanted to help, he knows shit, he could've help but no... Syd and her stress and big ass ego couldn't allow help from Richie or Tina, then she literally stabs Richie? the fuck? and what's worse she quit at the worst time in the worst way when this whole shit was HER fault... and the cherry on top was Marcus with his quite frankly dumb as fuck timing. I was 100% in the same mood as Carmy at this point.
Yeah, I think the point of the episode was to show the weakness in everyone's character. I also don't think she knew the guy was a critic, she just went out after carmy said no in anger and slammed the dish in front of the guy nearest to the kitchen.
04:15 buen español lola
Crazy when Syd says this isnt on me, cause it was 100% on her
The nerve of Sydney to say it's all Carmy's fault after all the shit she just did is insane. Really disliked her and Marcus after this episode.
This is one of the best episodes of any TV Show ever.
I hated syd this episode. She fucked up and just left at the worst time.
i think they point is they were pretty much all at their lowest. this was a shitshow, lol.
Can you blame her? She made a mistake and everyone treated her like shit. Lmao I would fucking bail too.
Carmy treated her like shit, and then she started treating everyone else like shit. It's not just that Carmy lost it at her, but who she turned into in order to cope with it. Syd is a fucking angel for recognizing what was going on and removing herself. This is ALL on Carmy for how checked out he's been.
You find out the type of people who can handle pressure and get shit done and those who can't and need time away. Syd made a huge mistake that relatively effects Carmy the most, then walked away.
she annoyed me too bc it was her idea to bring the machine in & she made a huge mistake with it & is shocked everything went to shit & left like nah lol
🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
These girls’ confusion as to why this episode was short will always infuriate me.
I genuinely didn't like Sydney in this episode. This is absolutely all on her and she's going behind Carmy's back to make his restaurant into something before he's ready to take that step. And she continues to be annoying in the second season when it comes tona certain other character
Claire was annoying and Sydney was correct to demand Carmy’s focus lmao
Carmy asked Sydney to be his partner in the business and all their issues in this episode was forgiven or let go. The least Carmy can do is focus on this incredibly risky business venture he asked Sydney to come on to.
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 Absolutely agreed on the last part. Disagree on Claire being annoying.
Blaming Claire was not the way to go about it. She had nothing to do with any of it. She wants Carmy to succeed. If Carmy can't deal with two fronts at once, that's on him.
In fact it seemed like Claire was inspiring Carmy to find some cool options for the menu and Syd just got jealous that someone else was in Carmy's ear
@@andrewichigo I dont think it was jealousy that someone else has carmy 's ear. The thing was that they were building the menu together. Then all of a sudden it turned into Carmy and Claire working on the menu even though she has nothing to do with the restaurant. Like logically think about it yourself. If you were getting into business with someone but your partner started going off with a third party coming up with ideas with them for your project that your partner is supposed to work through with you... how would that make you feel? Not jealous, but frustrated. In my case more than a little angry. Going back to Sydney and adding the experience that she had going around to all the places she visited to eat food at and talked to some of the chefs; i would also be very scared entering into this venture in such a limited time frame with someone who is not 100% focused. I got where Carmy was coming from, and while I wished he could have had his cake and eat it too lord knows he deserves it... but that was so not the time.
@@andrewichigo Even though I didn't like Sydney's actions this episode, I think Syd in season 2 was completely justified with her concerns. She was legit doing a lot of work going around tasting stuff and gathering info for their menu while Carmie flaked on her to hang out with Claire. I didn't get any inclination that Sydney was jealous of Claire at all, just frustrated with how they were supposed to be partners yet Carmie was coming up short in that regard.
Please watch demon slayer you guys I know you would love it 🔥and keep up the amazing work just found ur channel🔥🔥
