Plot

A young chef from the fine dining world returns to Chicago to run his family's sandwich shop.

Carmen Berzatto, a brilliant young chef from the fine-dining world is forced to return home to run his local family sandwich shop - the Original Beef of Chicagoland - after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he's used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing reality of trading in Michelin star restaurants for the small 'business' kitchen filled with strong-willed and obstinate staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother's suicide.

Carmy "Bear" Berzatto is head chef of one of the world's most prestigious restaurants. However, after his brother's sudden passing, Carmy returns home to take over his dysfunctional sandwich shop in downtown Chicago, where he is forced to reconcile with the past he's been running from.
