Unpopular opinion, but the majority of people shipping Carmen and Sydney in The Bear are showing that they haven’t been in the kitchen and don’t understand the chef life. The table scene, the jacket, the way they look at each other, that’s just part of being in the trenches with someone who gets it. When you spend that much time shoulder to shoulder with someone as passionate about the job as you are, you tend to treat each other that way. It’s common for your sous chef to become your best friend. It’s common for there to be tension, sexual or otherwise, with the other chefs on the line. If you’re not ride or die for your team to the point that everyone outside the kitchen thinks y’all are fucking, then your not in a real kitchen.
Ship them if you want to, but be aware that kitchens are just like that, and that’s just how chefs are.
There goes the tip of my finger.
Brand new peeler, Japanese blade.
Tried to love a watermelon radish.
Pretty things go together like
Skin on skin, blood and greens.
No citrus vinaigrette can mask
The iron I shed. Passion, chef.
Let the hurt taste real pretty.
