As much as I hated Richie at the start, it's absolutely hilarious that he's the only one not yelling in this scene.

[obliviouz]

Amazing that Richie is the calmest and most collected of them all in this scene. What a turnaround.

[romilrh]

The way the music constantly switched as the camera moved from the kitchen to the dining area and back was brilliant. Made them feel like two entirely different worlds

[DontbeaGoof]

My favorite part of this sequence is the constant ticket sound. We all know there couldn't possibly be that many orders for a soft open. It's all in their heads, I love it.

[ethanmon]

Richie's character arc is so compelling and a great allegory for grief and loss. His chaotic energy in season 1 was borne out of anger and him being unable to process his grief. Season 2 has him finally accepting Mikey's death and finding renewed purpose in life.

[juanoots]

Can we all agree, Sydney was ignoring Marcus whether intentional or not.

[TihetrisWeathersby]

Carmy getting locked in the freezer was pretty funny, He needed to cool off

I just smashed both seasons in 2 days. I cannot wait for season 3.

I’ve watched this closely and Sydney is actually speaking as she was running a very busy expo! They are both busy and I don’t think she was purposefully ignoring him. Why would she be mad that he asked her out? She seemed more awkward about it than anything else, honestly this did seem like a silly way to create more kitchen tension and quite out of character for Marcus. I think it would make more sense for Marcus to wordlessly place the bread down and Sydney asks him why he hasn’t announced eta and they get into a scrap that way instead of this outburst.

[jakemcgrath]

Jesus. When Sydney was expediting in a quiet voice. Been there

[Carcosahead]

Man I felt so bad for Claire, Carm deserved it

[ethanwinters]

Anyone who used to work in the restaurant industry would definitely understand how stressful it is on busy days. You'll keep hearing complaints from either ur boss or manager plus the customers. I was in this industry for 5 years and this was exactly what happened on those weekend days and holidays. You'll keep hearing those voices from people to the point you'd wanna burn the whole place down or take ur apron off and go home. It's that freaking crazy I'm telling ya!

[TurnOntheBrightLights.]

I like the instrumental music played in the kitchen! I hope they release it sometime :)

[lofty_pride]

I’m def Marcus lol like dawg take my food and send it out pls

[michaelf]

I worked on the Las Vegas Strip for 45 years, and yes kitchens can get loud, , but why do all cook shows act like all we do is scream in kitchens.

[sianwarwick]

How to dial it down, so you're not making it about YOU, but about the job at hand

[JimmySailor]

Sydney is objectively bad at her job. She’s expediting in this scene yet she’s barely audible. Whether or not she was trying to talk to Marcus he isn’t hearing her and she isn’t picking up on that, it’s HER job to be understood. Someone has to be in the middle.

It’s no shade on her as a chef, but this has been a consistent character trait throughout the show. Sydney buckles.

[fabadas]

What's the song played in the background in the kitchen??

[caskazom]

Why are there three chefs just standing around watching?

[TNTspaz]

While I personally didn't like how the last episode was handled in basically reversing nearly everyone's character development. I think Sydney finally understood what Carmy was going through. One day made her throw up from stress. Let alone years.

Last episode felt like they comically forced the tension up, forced a conflict by locking carmy up like it's a Saturday night cartoon, and many characters felt off. Especially with how good the season was up to that point. Felt weird. I'm really hoping they redeem it in the next season.
