Trivia
Jeremy Allen White went to cooking school for two weeks and worked in the kitchen of multiple restaurants, among them the Michelin star-rated Pasjoli, to train for the show.

Goofs
The portrayal of Claire's schedule -- she's a resident in emergency medicine -- is completely unrealistic. Residents work 60-80 hours a week, and when they're not working they're exhausted. They're not helping people move, they're not eating three-hour meals on a Saturday night, and they're not lounging lazily around the house for hours in the mornings.

Pretty Good

The Bear is just as good as all these reviews are saying it is. I wasn't sure what to expect and the plot sounds like it might be kind of boring but it was anything but. It's an exciting, behind the scenes look at a demanding restaurant business in Chicago. The show will grab you and pull you in until the next thing you know you binged the entire season. I liked Jeremy Allen White (Lip) from Shameless and after reading all the great reviews I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did. It's just an extremely well written dramedy and the acting is so that they will really make you root for these characters to succeed. This is a show that will keep you entertained throughout each episode. I hope to see future seasons.
