DENVER — For chef Brian Lockwood, working in a Michelin-star kitchen is a song and dance that requires skill, experience and, eventually, simple “muscle memory.”
But every performance takes choreography and time to practice. The same goes for what you see on the third season of FX’s “The Bear,” which dropped on Hulu in June. The Emmy Award-winning dramedy — which some chefs have described as the most accurate portrayal of a chaotic restaurant kitchen — lets viewers see the not-always-pretty insides of a former Italian sandwich shop in Chicago struggling to transform into a fine dining restaurant.
