The most stressful show on TV is back this week. Here’s where ‘The Bear’ left off

Before you binge Season 3 of the Emmy-winning comedy, revisit what happened in the kitchen the last time we saw Carmy, Sydney and the gang.

Plug your ears: TV’s screamiest series is back. “The Bear,” the FX-on-Hulu kitchen-set dramedy, returns Wednesday night for its third season. No doubt it’ll be just as stressful, loud and appetizing as ever. When we last left Carmy and co. a year ago, it was friends-and-family night at The Bear, the new restaurant made from the ashes of the sandwich joint that Carmy inherited from his late brother. But things are never calm for long in this kitchen, so in the last 10 minutes of the finale, Carmy got in a scream-fight with “cousin” Richie, accidentally broke up with his childhood crush Claire and got stuck in the walk-in refrigerator. But what of Marcus’ ailing mom and Sydney’s dreams of a Michelin star? Can The Bear survive in the cutthroat world of fine dining? And will anyone on this show ever learn the meaning of “inside voice”? Before you binge Season 3 of the Emmy-winning “comedy,” here’s where our favorite dysfunctional Chicagoans left off in the second season. After weeks of failing fire inspections, knocking down walls and generally fighting over every detail of the restaurant, the staff of the restaurant formerly known as The Beef are finally ready to open The Bear, their new fine dining destination in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.
