The Bear is apparently a regular show about a restaurant but it’s really a metamodern show about Blue America trying to convince itself it has a viable Blue Collar culture

By viable Blue Collar culture, do you mean that Blue America can feel good by going out to eat thereby supporting restaurants and blue collar workers? (love the show fwiw)

I signal that I understand the proletariat by saying “yes chef” out of context

I feel like it does capture a real subset of blue America that isn’t captured by the elites from Succession or the more typical laptop job class. The main avenue for Michelin-class dining are top 3 Blue America cities but unlike in say Machine Learning or piano, excellence in food IS more accessible?
