Things havent fallen apart yet at the Bear, but theyre teetering ever closer.

Not the fiscal viability, but whos going to remain to fulfill the vision.

Richie seems down in the dumps, listless and unsure of himself.

But what if she has all of that already?

We wouldnt know because she hasnt opened the goddamn Docusign.

Hes an open book to Marcus, but he shuts down her menu ideas without even saying, Sorry.

Just like how Carmy needs to fucking apologize to Claire.

He knows that, too.

Carmy explains that hed have to filter out all the bad to make it good.

So, will Syd take what she learned at The Bear to Shapiros new joint?

Certainly easier to shoot, production-wise, with burgeoning stars and all that, but also perhaps weirdly divided?

Your legacy isnt the spot.

Its the people you inspired along the way.

Its also, it would seem, your family.

Not just your cousins, but your kids.

With only three episodes left now, its time to push.

Small Bites

Im still unclear how Shapiro and Syd became acquainted.

They could be hanging out at industry nights, but have we seen them interact?

Chi-Chi is played byChristopher J. Zucchero, who I believe is the owner of Mr.

Beef, the restaurant where they filmThe Bear.

The other guy helping Ebra isPaulie James, who owns L.A.s Uncle Paulies deli.

So both dudes clearly know a lot about sandwiches.

I truly have no idea who plays Uncle Gary Fak, despite my best Googling.

He definitely does share that Fak shape.

Also, if you dont know,anyone off the street can shop at Restaurant Depot.

You just have to stop at the front desk to get a day pass.
