As a passionate movie enthusiast who just happens to rule over a gourmet kitchen on “The Bear”, I’m not one to boast about having an exquisite palate. In fact, I’d describe myself more as a sour candy from Walgreens kind of gal. Despite the fact that I’ve dined at Ever, the restaurant where my character, Jess, meets Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Richie in season two’s “Forks,” and I do have immense respect for the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into its service and food, I must admit that if given a choice, I’d choose Chicago deep-dish pizza any day. My favorite? Pequod’s, which made an appearance in “Forks” and is renowned for its signature crispy, burnt-cheese crust that I love to tear off and use like tortilla chips to scoop out the inside of the pizza. Now, that’s a chef who knows her stuff!
