Ebon Moss-Bachrach says Richie is “the soul” of the restaurant
The second season of The bear Fast approaching its summer release date, it marks the return of the broken characters trying to make their kitchen the best in Chicago. However, there is one character who has had a very special journey, and one might even wonder why he even bothers to stay at the restaurant. During a recent interview with meeting, Ebon Moss-Bachrach Explained why Richie, the character he plays in the hit series, chooses to stay in his kitchen even when the odds keep stacking against him:
I don’t know. It’s like your grandma’s pot. The soup must be boiled in this pot, you know? Otherwise it won’t taste the same. At the same time you’re thinking, “What the heck?” What’s up with this big pot? It’s ugly and takes up a lot of kitchen space. Richie is the soul of the restaurant. It’s the front-facing part. He knows every name. It’s something like community relations.
In the acclaimed series, Richie was Michael’s best friend before his tragic death, which set the events of the story in motion. After the death of his friend, the restaurant needed someone to head the kitchen, and much to the chagrin of the crew, Michael’s brother happened to be a very experienced chef. Carmen (Jeremy Allen-White) came to transform the kitchen and introduce new methods of preparing the dishes that went against everything his brother had taught the people who worked there. Some of them expressed their feelings, creating tension in the work environment.
In addition, Richie was never comfortable with Carmen’s new strategy for the kitchen and was often frustrated because she had to do things differently. The character was already suffering from anger issues and losing his best friend while his business was rapidly changing only made him worse. The culmination of his trial was an outburst he had at the end of season one when he violently beat up an establishment client. Since the person did not die as a result of the attack, Richie received a lighter sentence than expected.
