The latest signature dish in ‘The Bear'? Hamburger Helper with a twist.
Gorgeous food — silky braised short ribs and tender ravioli and flawless chocolate cake — has been a mainstay of 'The Bear,' the TV dramedy centered on the doings of the chef and staff of a fine-dining restaurant in Chicago.
But in the FX show's fourth season, released last week, the food itself is relegated to a bit player. Of course there are pastas and pastries being prepared on-screen, but the dishes themselves don't seem to matter much compared with past seasons.
