And it seems there's no slowing down for season two, which has already racked up a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. One critic wrote: "With such a talented cast, it’s not that surprising that Season 2 lets it rip once again," while another added: "A sophomore slump is not on the menu."
Season two follows Carmy, as well as Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they work to transform their grimy sandwich joint into a next-level spot. As they strip the restaurant down to its bones, the crew undertakes transformational journeys of their own, each forced to confront the past and reckon with who they want to be in the future.

Of course, it turns out the only thing harder than running a restaurant is opening a new one, and the team must juggle the insane bureaucracy of permits and contractors with the beauty and creative agony of menu planning.
The 10-parter also stars Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson. Edwin Lee Gibson, Oliver Platt and newcomer Molly Gordon join the series.
