We can thank Courtney Storer for The Bear’s all-too-real depiction of what actually happens in a restaurant kitchen. The culinary producer of FX’s hit show (created by her brother Christopher), Courtney brought years of experience as a chef in Paris, Los Angeles, and Chicago to the set, where she coaches the actors on how to move and speak like real restaurant staff, gives detailed set and dialogue directions to make the plots really authentic, and generally makes sure the show is as close to a real restaurant as possible.
Season 2 of The Bear drops this Thursday, and Courtney is back to talk with host Kerry Diamond about where the show will go from season 1’s dramatic finale (she does not drop a single spoiler, though). There’s more than just The Bear for Courtney; she talks about taking care of her mental health, her food hero Marcella Hazan, why old cookbooks are wonderful, and staying connected to food and cooking on her own terms.
If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to catch Courtney’s interview in 2022, and Jeremy Allen White, the star of The Bear, on Radio Cherry Bombe.
