the portions seem like they would piss me off

I told my wife that those 3 or so bites would probably be amazing but I’m going to need to get a burger on the way home.

The neck tat guy pouring the broth in front of the couple then bringing it back to the back had me crying. He thought he knocked it out of the park.

I agree with the sentiment that the individual episodes were better than the sum of the parts. Not much progression at all.

I've ate at a few fine dining restaurants and a I've actually eaten at Daniel in New York which is on the show. It is still to date our favorite dining experience.

The portions aren't as small as they look and there is usually about 7 plates for a tasting menu. They are spaced out and they bring you all different kinds of breads and other things between plates so you do get full

If you pause the review shows it was somewhat mixed. Good and bad but not what they were hoping for.

Is it just me, or was this season just absolutely terrible? Doesn't seem like anything happened. Complete waste of time. I feel like the writers tried to go too high brow with this season.

Watching episode 7 now, so far episodes 3 and 6 have been my favorite.

I agree. I bombed out of multiple episodes and had to go back to them over and over to finish. Season 1 was the best, but staring at the eyebrows of chefs and tweezers for most of each episode in S3 is shite now. And yet another exhibit of bouncing back and forth in time without clear indicators or transitions, meh.

There are a few tasting menu type restaurants in New Orleans. Foods good but it’s usually about presentation and creativity.

The best part of season 3 were all the Faks and the haunting

I feel like all those conversations were some weird Chicago inside baseball stuff. I was legit tired of it really quick.

This season was weak. I think they knew it because they just shoved it all at us at once.

The episode where she gives birth was so dull and boring. And frankly she was almost as annoying as her mother.

Origin stories are really good if they are interspersed with real time events. The whole episode dedicated to that lady’s back story was not like that. I still liked the episode, but it should have not been the entire episode. The show that does this the best is the BBC Ghosts. All of the ghosts have dedicated backstory episodes but it is intertwined with the current episode.

The last episode was really good at parts. Hearing all the stories and banter from these world renowned chefs was cool, and easily the best part. However, the audience had been waiting all episode for Bear to confront McHale. Bear could have either gotten what he needed to off of his chest to McHale or McHale could’ve put him in his place. Instead, we got a little of both and that issue remains unresolved for the audience and for Bear.

I liked seeing more of Bear’s backstory, but other than that, I don’t feel like a lot happened this season.

this season was a boring snoozefest. Long winded scenes, bear always looked constipated...loved 1 and 2, more action and drama in the kitchen
