Hulu’s hit show The Bear released its second season last week and the drama is nothing short of a cultural moment. The show, starring Jeremy Allen White as Carmy Berzatto, centers around a talented chef who is trying to make his restaurant that bears the same name as the show a success. The show has nothing to do with the sports world—until one character is given a gift.
A somewhat random storyline surrounding former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski begins to play a major role when Sydney, played by Ayo Edebiri, is gifted his book, Leading With Heart, by her father. As the show goes on, the legendary coach and book are repeatedly brought up, but apparently, Krzyzewski had no idea.
“This was all a surprise to me,” Krzyzewski told The News & Observer. “Just started receiving texts from people last week about being mentioned on the show. All positive. We will have to watch it!”
