      There’s a lot of that in season 1. It’s a fairly accurate portrayal of small restaurant culture.

      Season 2 is calmer, more focused on the beauty of hospitality. The food, the space, the process of creating recipes and preparing the food in the kitchen.

      Every single episode of season 2 was “look at how we are able to create beauty and joy amidst the chaos”. How attention to detail and deeply caring about the product can create an experience for the guest.

      There’s an incredibly frantic episode that takes place in one take. It’s a masterpiece and I breathed a sigh of relief when it ended.
      I liken it to watching horror movies. Some people appreciate feeling different emotions during their escapism.
