Poking The Bear - TV vs Real Life Restaurants

On this debut episode of Dine and Dish, Michele and Krista step into the chaos of FX’s The Bear to separate restaurant reality from TV drama. From Carmy’s high-pressure kitchen to Richie’s FOH antics, we’re breaking down what the show gets right (and what it doesn’t) about hospitality. Expect hot takes on FOH etiquette, family meal culture, and the unspoken rules of service that only industry insiders truly know.

We dish on FX’s The Bear — what it gets right (and wrong) about real FOH life, hospitality, and unspoken restaurant rules.
