[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike the fine dining angle. Kept hoping to see more in the Italian beef shop. The few moments that were shown in season 3 had so much more energy, warmth, humor..

There’s so much out there (mostly movies) about chasing a Michelin star(s), and The Bear doesn’t really have anything new to say about that.[/quote]

I think that’s the point. which is “better” - The Beef or The Bear. What is the definition of successful. Even Sugar says in passing that the sandwich window is the only thing actually making money. [/quote]

Yeah I think the final season has to be about The Bear moving away from the lackluster fine dining and back to its authentic roots.[/quote]

I wish they delved in more into the practical aspects of how you can make fine dining work -- e.g., balancing high end ingredients with more affordable, figuring out economies of scale, direct sourcing, etc.  It seemed like they were going to do a little of that, but then the answer was just "no, we'd rather just dive directly into the financial drain because Carmy is crazy."  Those scenes where he is obsessing over where to put one scallion, and then throwing out the entire plate of tenderloin because he didn't like how the scallion was placed just drive me nuts.  It is everything that I hate about the current trends in high-end dining -- this obsession with "you eat first with your eyes" and coming up with weird innovations -- rather than just trying to have good quality ingredients that are skillyfully prepared and taste good.  I don't really care where you put the scallion and am I even supposed to eat that random grilled scallion balanced on top of the meat?  I feel like they need less "carmy is losing it" drama and more scenes of how to make a restaurant work and everyone working together to make that happen.  It felt like the writers just sort of cheaped out, and they went with a lot of drama montage flash-back scenes.
