Non-Negotiables and Nervous Breakdowns: The Bear Season 3


Listen Later

Order up! In this episode of You're Not Special, Erin Loman Jeck and Dr. Sizzle sink their teeth into Season 3 of The Bear—the season of chaos, cracked egos, and Carmy's iron-fisted "non-negotiables."

We dish on:

  • Servers quitting en masse and the eternal battle of front vs. back of house dysfunction.

  • Carmy's descent into menu madness—changing dishes daily, banning repeat ingredients, and blowing $12K on butter like it's Monopoly money.

  • Richie's emotional rollercoaster: ex-wife's wedding invite, yelling matches, and moments of accidental wisdom.

  • Sydney's indecision and panic spirals—does she even want to be there?

  • The sandwich window that somehow keeps the lights on while fine dining bleeds cash.

  • Why Uncle Jimmy's mobster math might make more sense than Carmy's culinary dreams.

  • And those "non-negotiables": pressed shirts, hygiene checks, no surprises, no fun… oh, and you're not special.

It's loud, it's messy, it's too real. Season 3 proves that running a Michelin-level restaurant isn't just about plating perfection—it's about surviving the mental breakdowns behind the line.
