This week on episode #225 of New Release … whine diners Derrick and Drew polish off the rest of The Bear season 3. We discuss whether the full course was Michelin Star worthy or half baked. In a season that includes rich backstory, new life, and a food funeral, why does it feel so stagnant at times? It’s not that we’re disappointed in you, Bear, we just expect absolute perfection! Why can’t you be as perfect as we remember you being before?! I kid, but the same pressure Carmy puts on himself, his kitchen, and every plate is the pressure we put on our favorite things. Is that fair, who knows, but we can’t help it. Support this vicious cycle of love and backlash by searching ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple and hitting subscribe.
