No news or restaurants of the week on today's podcast because it's time to get our yearly spoiler filled discussion about The Bear with Eric and Thorough Fare Hospitality's Justin Yu! The guys speak about the choice to center the final season around one day of service, how they related to the story, the chaos of the kitchen, customers taking a long time at a table, getting to relive the chaos the next day, what The Bear doesn't get right about the food media aspect, and more. Plus, they try to avoid the wrath of Taylor Swift fans.
