We have introduced a lot of food dramas.
In most people's impressions, food dramas are always associated with the word "cure".
Yes, people always say that food heals everything.
But last year there was an American drama, which seems to be related to food, but it is completely different from the style of most food dramas.
In this drama, there is no chicken soup that warms the soul and heals the soul, and some are just chicken feathers in the back kitchen.
It uses an extremely "depressing" way, but it unexpectedly heals many viewers.
It's "Bear Family Restaurant".
The show received wide acclaim after its launch, and this year, it also ushered in its second season.
Today, let's talk about -
"Bear Family Restaurant Season 2"
"Bear Family Restaurant Season 1" started broadcasting on 6/23/22.
After a year, on June 22 this year, the second season also started.
Both films have quite high ratings.
The first season was nominated for multiple awards, and it was a hit with a 17-minute shot to the end.
Jeremy Allen White, who plays the male protagonist, also won the 80th Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor for this drama.
Why is this drama "depressing" compared to the "cure" of most food dramas?
Because, the focus of the "Xiongjia Restaurant" series is not more on the food itself, more on the back kitchen.
In the story of the first season, the male protagonist Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) originally worked in a high-end Michelin restaurant.
But because of his brother's suicide, he gave up his decent job and accepted his brother's "fly house".
Completely different from the back kitchen of a Michelin restaurant, the back kitchen of this restaurant can be described as a mess.
The sanitary conditions are not up to standard, and the rating is also the last grade.
Restaurants are struggling to make ends meet, facing closure at any time, and even basic ingredients are not enough because they don't have money.
The biggest headache for Carmy is the group of employees who disobey.
Among them, the most prickly is Carmy's cousin Richard.
Carmy wanted to manage the kitchen by Michelin standards, but the employees simply wouldn't comply.
Therefore, in the back kitchen of this restaurant, there are always chickens flying and dogs jumping, full of quarrels and roaring.
Everyone's state is not at all as orderly as Carmy wants, but it is a rush.
Fortunately, an intern named Sydney came to the restaurant.
Sydney has also worked in the back kitchen of high-end restaurants and understands Carmy's reputation in the circle.
So she came to admire and follow the idol.
She gave Carmy some support and help.
At the end of the first season, Carmy discovers the secret his brother left him.
It was a sum of $300,000 in cash, hidden in a small jar of ketchup.
And Carmy is determined to use the money to transform the restaurant.
This restaurant, called "Xiongjia Restaurant", was born.
However, at the beginning of the second season, the melancholic style of Xiong's restaurant is still on the rise.
Restaurant renovation is never easy.
Not to mention, transforming this once wrong restaurant into a restaurant that meets the standards of the heart.
300,000 is simply not enough.
Therefore, in the story of the new season, the protagonists still face a lot of head-to-head problems.
The first is to raise money.
For this reason, Carmy, Sydney and others wanted to break their heads, thinking only of the people who had lent money to their brother.
Of course, there are conditions for the person to agree to invest.
Carmy promised that if he did not pay off the money within a year and a half, then the Xiongjia restaurant, including the land it belonged to, would belong to this person.
Such conditions are definitely a huge temptation for borrowers.
Of course, for Carmy, it is undoubtedly a challenge that can only be won and cannot be lost.
Borrow money and everything goes on "in an orderly" manner.
In this process, everyone in the back kitchen is also experiencing their own difficulties.
For example, two veteran employees who had been more senior in the back kitchen were sent to the Chef Academy for further training.
Once there, they discovered that the qualifications they were once proud of were actually outdated representatives.
Therefore, we can see the scene of the elderly who are nearly 70 years old, in order to keep up with the progress, secretly contact in the back kitchen.
And the thorn head Richard gradually opened up with Carmy.
Of course, Carmy also met love.
The story of "Bear Family Restaurant" is definitely a story related to food.
But its style is completely different from most food dramas.
That's why it stands out.
However, if it only focuses on the back-kitchen workflow, it is too superficial.
In fact, it is just a series of work in the back kitchen to show the story about the human heart, about people, and about love.
Just like Carmy, which took over the restaurant in the first place.
Although he wanted to demand the back-kitchen employees with his experience working at Michelin, he also knew deep down that he did not like the atmosphere in which he had worked.
The back kitchen that once seemed orderly was actually full of only depression.
So, when he yelled in the back kitchen of the Xiong's restaurant, with "f*ck" in every sentence, even he didn't realize it at first, it was also a wanton and release.
In the story of "Xiong's Restaurant", everyone is three-dimensional and rich.
It seems to be full of quarrels and chaos, but when you read the whole story and calm down to reminisce, you will find that it actually healed you.
Therefore, it is still a rare dinner drama.
Of course, the "rice" here is still a little different from the "rice" we usually understand.
I look forward to you clicking on this drama and feeling the difference for yourself!
