      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.

Maybe that's what the director/crew was going for, maybe not.

      You could see the panic on her face, but the camera doesn't linger on it. So the only people who would notice are the people who already know she fucked up, because they've been there at some point. 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.

    This scene genuinely induces ptsd... I’ve been working in kitchens for over 10 years and have never seen such and accurate portrayal of this abusive, yet oddly rewarding environment. The movie “Burnt” with Bradley Cooper is the only thing that comes even close… I now have my own catering service. Before prep, I’ll sometimes watch this scene just to snap myself into perspective. Although I miss working in a fast paced environment, I feel grateful for the opportunity to work a service on my own terms!

    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.

Yes; does the narrative of Carmen and how he reaches NY demand that this CDC of the flashback is this abusive? interpretable, seeing as Carmen’s drive is shown to be self-abusive, which concerns his sister…

      @@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.

    This is such a brilliant scene. The stark difference between kitchens is absolutely legit. If you’re a chef/cook who has worked in both environs it is so easy to relate. 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.

      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.

      @@Big_AlMC After seeing a bunch of comments you're such a loser its pathetic. Trauma isn't necessary to make it, you can work for chefs that are critical without breaking you as a person and if you literally have to be broken as a human being to get better, maybe it's you that's not cut out for it

    *THE ANXIETY!* This is like if Uncut Gems was a show about cooking, but somehow better.

    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.

    The more I watch this the more I’m convinced the Chef didn’t say this to him. He imagined it. Look at how many times he blinked his eyes as if to snap back to reality. And he finally did- when he’s back at The Beef, saying “HANDS!” Just like his inner voice told him to say “hands” moments before.

    I haven’t watched the show in like 2 months as I’ve finished season 2 and randomly saw on IMDb that Joel McHale was in the show. I had to go back and find this clip bcuz I didn’t even realize it was him. Great acting job by him!
