The Bear explores the profound theme of family amidst the chaos of restaurant life. Carmy returns to his brother Mikey's restaurant, driven by familial loyalty. Characters like Richie and Tina, though not blood relatives, embody the essence of family within the workplace. Syd grapples with the intense emotional connections formed at the Bear, struggling with her commitment as she realizes her importance to the group. The narrative highlights how personal histories and relationships intertwine, impacting their decisions and sense of belonging in a tightly knit, albeit dysfunctional, family dynamic.
Carmy came back to take over his late brother's restaurant because of family. Richie and the Faks aren't technically related to Carmy and Nat, but they're family all the same.
While she acknowledged that restaurant life could be all-consuming, I don't think she necessarily realized how much Berzatto drama or even Berzatto-adjacent love she'd be subjected to on a daily basis.
