The chef who came home · The Kitchen
Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto (The chef who came home) is a character in The Bear, part of The Kitchen. Carmen Berzatto was the youngest chef de cuisine at the best restaurant in the world, building tweezered perfection in rooms that broke him quietly — and now he's home in Chicago, running The Beef, the collapsing sandwich shop his brother Michael left him by dying.
