Jimmy is wrapped around her finger, even when he’s tightening the screws on everybody else while opening the purse strings.Ĭarmy knows that a new restaurant means new responsibilities for all hands. Sugar is conscripted into the role of project manager. He’s at everybody’s throats and he needs to be somebody that his daughter can look up to since his ex Tiffany ( Gillian Jacobs) is dating new guy Frank. The only focus on Richie’s mind is how much his life lacks purpose. The Windy City might not be where he’s needed at the moment. With his mother bed-bound, Marcus needs to contend with his feelings for Sydney and his lack of inspiration. This season turns up the heat on all relationships. Sydney promises him a Michelin Star for his investment, but Carmy promises something far more savory to his palette-an 18-month window on opening The Bear or a clean break from Carmy. Despite the money saved up for what was to be for franchising, The Beef is in a state where Uncle Jimmy’s coffers are the only way to keep it afloat. We’d ended with a landmark windfall for The Beef.

We learn of the dreaded Uncle Jimmy ( Oliver Platt) and what arrears Mikey was in when he decided to punch his own card.

We got to know Chefs Tina ( Liza Colón-Zayas), Ebraheim ( Edwin Lee Gibson), and bread-maker-cum-pastry-chef Marcus ( Lionel Boyce). We learn of the tragedy of Michael ‘Mikey’ Berzatto ( Jon Bernthal), wresting Carmy from his 3-Michelin Star gig to his inherited money pit of an Italian Beef restaurant in Chicago.

Last season on Christopher Storer’s delicious dive into the Hellmouth that is the professional kitchen, we were introduced to Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto ( Jeremy Allen White), his long-suffering sister Natalie ‘Sugar’ Berzatto ( Abby Elliott) his cousin Richie Jerimovich ( Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and most importantly, a hungry firebrand named Sydney Adamu ( Ayo Edebiri).
