Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Carmy attempts to retrain the employees of The Original Beef of Chicagoland, but is faced with resistance. In need of back up, he brings on a talented young chef to help.
Our Take
A loud, anxious opener that mostly works because it puts you right in the chaos with Carmy rather than explaining it. Jeremy Allen White sells the grief and the pressure without ever saying much, though the yelling gets repetitive before the hour is up. Worth watching if you can handle the noise, and Sydney’s arrival sets up the season nicely.
