    I’ve been watching season 3 of The Bear. It’s a great show but very stressful to watch. So much unnecessary conflict and dysfunction. It’s one of those shows where I wish I could talk to the main characters and help them solve their problems.
    The acting is great, but for me the most interesting thing to me are all the details about serving gourmet food. I have no idea if it’s accurate since I can barely make a sandwich.

      I'm sure a cooking show about intricate cooking while keeping the production high quality would be a success, the closest I can think of is Babish Culinary Universe, but still has a YouTuber vibe that is not exactly what I mean.

        YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CAKE THAT’S AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE BUT YOU CAN’T USE FONDANT AND YOU HAVE TO INCORPORATE BEETS AND THE OTHER CONTESTANTS CAN SHOOT YOU WITH NERF GUNS.

        You have one hour.
