July 9, 20223 yr Fuk it. this show lit tho. I love acting chef movies/shows. don’t watch while hungry. lol I was dying.
July 9, 20223 yr We're planning to make the Family Spaghetti soon. That is a shit ton of garlic, but I'll give it a try.
July 9, 20223 yr We're planning to make the Family Spaghetti soon. That is a shit ton of garlic, but I'll give it a try. If making a dish from the show, make Mike’s Sunday bracciole. Or Mama’s chicken piccata that Sugar made. That family spaghetti sauce is a bit basic for me; it has no herbs in it. It would make a decent base to braise the bracciole in.
July 11, 20223 yr Finally finished this. Lots of questions, but I loved it, I remember Chris’ Little Chicago used to have an Italian beef sandwich. Was the trailer in the field near where they later put in Red’s Porch on S Lamar. I enjoyed it, had only ever had one in Chicago previously. I need to see if there’s one somewhere in the Triangle.

July 12, 20223 yr I'm just a couple of episodes in but are all of these going to be just the same 15 people screaming curse words at each other for half an hour and calling each other "Chef"?

July 12, 20223 yr Went to wise guy’s in round rock tonight and got the Italian beef. It’s legit I’ve not seen that in Chicago. That looks like dry ass shit roast. No gravy? That s what makes it a Chicago Italian beef. The meat should be wet, whether you dip the roll or not. Along with either giardinera or sweet green king peppers.

July 12, 20223 yr The best Chicago food I have found in Tarrant County is Tex’s Star Grill in Watauga.Really good Italian beef, correct rolls, good gravy, get it hot, sweet, or combo. Maxwell Steet flame grilled polish sausage. Chicago hot dogs. Flame grilled burgers.

July 14, 20223 yr Just finished it and overall I enjoyed the show a lot. The long takes were pretty cool. I also couldn’t stop thinking that Richie looks exactly like Chris Martin from Coldplay.

July 19, 20223 yr I started this show a few days ago and I'm binging and I really like it. But I have some beef with the overall premise. Need to read the entire thread tomorrow to see if I'm out to lunch on this. That's 2x points. Actually I'll go ahead and post my terrible opinions and catch up tomorrow. I might be way out of touch but do we really have French Laundry type chefs taking over food stands in the Midwest and trying to pump out cakes and salads and braised short ribs and risotto? Are these joints really braising beef and whole chickens to make Italian beef and chicken Philly sandwiches? I will just say that I have been to my share of Chicago sandwich and hot dog places over the years and I'm not sure what the Spanish word for 'Chef' is but I don't think that's what they're calling each other in the back kitchen. A place like the one depicted in the show I'm pretty sure is serving steak ums and the majority of their traffic is coming after 10 pm CST and the patrons are too drunk to know or care about how tender the beef is. Maybe the foodie scene has really caught fire but the past two times I've been to Chicago, it's still very much Chicago and not quite Bicycle Bar type hipster dominant. I mean I know there are some hipster elements in some neighborhood for sure. But I feel like they took a lot of very different elements of the city and tried to merge them and it's not very authentic. I've never lived in Chicago so curious what the local folks have to say. But it's good and entertaining and that's all that matters. I am happy to ignore what I perceive to be unrealistic details if I am entertained, and I am entertained.

I think the point (aside from the character work, which is the actual point of the show) is that this is something that isn't really happening everywhere in Chicago. It's a town that really cares about tradition and working class access. That's what Richie represents, which is why so much of the conflict is between him and Carmy.
July 19, 20223 yr Haven't read the thread due to spoilers, but I watched the first 4 episodes last night and I think it's great. I love the food/restaurant culture, so that obviously helps. The cast is great though. Will probably finish tonight. Hoping there's a season 2 in the works.

Jeffe I think episode 1 or something it shows him instituting the "we call each other chef" rule change.

Of your criticisms, the one that most struck me (again, non food industry vet, not particularly familiar with chicago food culture) is the guy fucking around with the donuts.

July 19, 20223 yr As for the question of what was Carm doing back in Chicago slumming it, there is no greater tractor beam in the world than family especially when there is a business/legacy angle.
July 19, 20223 yr The to-go order scene was amazing. I felt i was fucked too.. Like i was apart of the show...

I thought donuts were an odd choice based on their hours but they can be huge moneymakers. That donut probably had an all in cost of 15 cents. Sell it for 2 bucks and you’re printing money. Those ovens are going cooking rolls and beef; no reason not to keep ‘em going baking some cakes and pies; they are money if good recipes.The Beef has been a money loser. Lots of low hanging fruit to fix the business that Carmy is putting in, but he’s resisting some others like donuts and takeout.
