With last week's premiere of the third season of The Bear, BU Today spoke to Boston University gastronomists, chefs, and restaurateurs—including SHA's Seth Gerber (MIDA) and Demetrios Tsolakis (Xenia Greek Hospitality )—for their insights on the show’s portrayal of kitchen culture. 🍽️ Professor Gerber says: "I enjoy [The Bear] as TV, but wish that so many people didn’t take it seriously as an analogy for what it’s like in the business." #BostonUniversity #RestaurantIndustry #TheBear #Hospitality
