Freedom Rains - It’s Raining Freedom

Today's episode is about #TheBear. It's on #Hulu, and so many restaurant and bar industry people have been talking about this show. I have to say I was late to The Bear. Basically, I don't trust anything on TV to get it right. There have been a few movies and a few TV shows here and there about the restaurant industry, and they miss it by a mile. You know every chef is spotless, the kitchen is super clean, no one is dirty, no spills. And that is bullshit. So, I was skeptical of the show. Then I started to see articles in the Atlantic, Bon Appetite, and the New York Times about how #TheBear showed the manic and toxic environment that restaurants can have. And I got hooked on the show and binged it one setting. That's how good I thought this show was and, more importantly, how I thought this show got so much right. 

So today, I'm talking to San Francisco Chef Freedom Rains.
Freedom has worked at restaurants such as Boulevard, Incanto, Flour, and Water and now is Executive chef at Amano in Hayes Valley. And we get his take on the show and restaurants in San Francisco.
