Did a re-watch of The Bear this week, and I think it was a thousand times better the second go round. I think I was so consumed by how targeted it was towards me that I couldn't really absorb it fully. Knowing what was coming, I could really take the journey the show meant for me, and it was fantastic.
I think the core message I picked up was that relationship between food, service, and love, that they handle so damn deftly. The episode with Richie and the forks was just so perfectly handled, and really exemplifies why we do this job.
