For a series known for showcasing the very real highs and exceptionally difficult lows inside the restaurant industry, getting the tool that every chef needs just right was imperative. Take Carmy’s $2,000-plus Japanese steel knife, for example, that subtly hints for the first time at the tortured chef’s history working in fine dining restaurants, which he so bashfully tries to hide. “We wanted him to have one thing that wasn’t pedestrian because he had already gone to New York, he had already gotten that James Beard Award,” the show’s prop master Laura Roeper tells Variety. “It’s from the Japanese Knives of Beverly Hills. They’re super famous, people know them.”
In season 1, it’s this same knife (thoughtfully adorned with his initials) that he accuses his coworkers of stealing only to find out that he had dropped it under the stove — a sign that he was losing his footing. And in Season 2, while Carmy and the rest of the team are working tirelessly to transform the old-school deli into a Michelin-worthy restaurant, he gives his most prized culinary tool to the newly promoted sous chef Tina, who has to ask him twice if he’s sure before taking it from his hands. “It’s a symbol that he really is collaborating and letting her shine,” Roeper says. “It’s an art, not just a knife.” From workhorse Mac knives to Japanese steels to cleaver and butcher blades, Roeper detailed (nearly) every single knife featured in “The Bear” and their significance.

Sophia Scorziello editor When director Anthony Caronna was pitched with making a series out of Elon Green’s 2021 book “Last Call,” about a string of queer-targeted murders in 1990’s Manhattan, he had some reservations. “I loved the book,” said Caronna. “But I passed on the project because I wasn’t interested at that time in doing true crime. My biggest concern was re-victimizing the community and possibly working against the community in a way.” True crime media is a true mixed bag.
