There's A Downside To Playing A Chef On TV, According To The Bear's Ayo Edebiri

Being a chef is definitely a tough job, what with the gnarly oven burns, the long hours and inconsistent schedule and demanding clientele. But you'd think that merely playing a chef on screen would be a cake walk. Apparently, that's not so, according to Emmy-winning The Bear star Ayo Edebiri. As the actress explained, there's a key downside to playing to such a gig, and it may just leave you surprised.

The actress has racked up a whole host of awards for playing Sydney Adamu, the ambitious young sous-chef working under Jeremy Allen White's Carmy Berzatto on the FX series (which you can stream with a Hulu subscription). The comedian previously opened up about the technical difficulties of filming the series, including that astounding one-take scene from Season 2, in which she had to memorize table numbers and recite menu items over and over again.
