The fifth and final season of Hulu\u2019s hit streaming series The Bear<\/em><\/span> was released on June 25. I think sufficient time has now passed that I can talk about the food-related show without being accused of divulging spoilers and ruining the story for anyone not fully caught up.<\/div>\n
If you are a fan, likely you binge-watched all eight episodes soon after it dropped; that is what diehard followers of the edgy series would do. This kind of devotion is also why cast members like Jeremy Allen White (as brooding chef Carmen \u201cCarmy\u201d Berzatto), Ayo Edebiri (the talented young chef Sydney Adamu) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach<\/span> (as foul-mouthed, hothead cousin Richie Jerimovich) have become in-demand stars.<\/div>\n

Appreciation for The Bear<\/em>\u2019s chaotic kitchen theatre and the team\u2019s ability to create haute entr\u00e9es in a Chicago dive extends beyond restaurant nerds and fine dining snobs. I am sure I am not the only viewer who gets a kick from the annoying but lovable characters, all of whom have no clue how to express their feelings, instead redirecting them into microaggressions, personal acrimony and insults.<\/p>\n

You also know you have made a successful restaurant show when you can score Easter egg cameos from industry icons<\/span> such as Thomas Keller, Daniel Boulud, Rene Redzepi and Grant Achatz.<\/div>\n

However, The Bear\u2019<\/em>s most significant cultural impact is adding a new honorific into everyone\u2019s vocabulary. Even a simple request to pass the plate at a dinner party is now followed by someone barking in response: \u201cYes, chef!\u201d and \u201cRight away, chef!\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyway, I would say this last season was especially good. The stories have always been compelling, but it feels like they upped their game even more for the final episodes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
