I've never seen a single second of this show.
Can someone in the know explain to me what the main source of drama is?
Can they just not make sandwiches on time or something?
How complicated can it get?

Black Girl wants to do stuff with her life (cooking related)
Carmie is literally always on the verge of a breakdown but also kinda wants to do stuff. Also family problems or something, and theyre poor, so lots of pressure to do stuff.
idk i stopped somewhere on the 2nd or 3rd season so this is the best youll get

Brother kills himself, it's a family-run business and the drama stems from his death hanging over their heads the entire time. You'd the think the show was about cooking or running the kitchen but that's about 10% of the show. Most of it is contrived drama or filling in time trying to be funny.

No but for real, I don't get it. Cooking really isn't that hard. Look at /ck/, even the loser autists there are able to cook up some good dishes. Why do cooks pretend their job is difficult? Imagine if some coder was acting like these retards.

Well if you watched the show he never complains about what the customers order or the complexity of the job and neither do the other chefs. He never complains about waking up early and scrubbing the floors and equipment by hand. He just makes it harder for himself and his fellow employees by being a messy autistic artistic genius and updating the menu every day.

Theres a part in season 1 where Marcus and Sydney fuck everything up and quit mid shift together then they gossip together and call Jeremy Allen White a little bitch and then have the audacity to ask for their jobs back and never apologize.

the source of drama is his older brother who committed suicide right before the start of the show. jeremy allen white's character is a nervous wreck. little flashbacks show the dysfunction of the family.

goal in season 1 is getting out of debt. goal in season 2 is opening the fine dining restaurant of his dreams. he already has max level chef stats starting the show and worked with god tier chefs. if his goal was to just run the sandwich shop he could do that but he makes it harder by having higher goals and sacrificing his personal life for work. it kinda reminds me of the movie whiplash and chasing perfection.

the show ditches the sandwich shop shit after season 1 and becomes more fine dining/celebrity chef cameo jerk off shit. all the minorities he works with get their own episodes. his cousin is the best character.

They work in a sandwich shop.
That's it.
That's all it is.
They scream and swear at each other non stop. It's insane. The writers have no idea how to build tension, and have clearly never worked a service job in their lives because it's ridiculous.

I shit you not - One guy even fires a gun into the air because he's so angry that customers are lining up. It happens in the first episode.

Protag is a washed-out fine dining chef who takes over the family sandwich shop and turns it into a Michelin star joint, applying and teaching the principles and techniques which he acquired at great personal and psychological cost to himself.
It sounds good but it isn't: it's a midwit's idea of how a restaurant works, laced with family melodrama and neurotic jew-coded characters who only hire non-white labour.

Try being 5x more productive and 10x more consistent, 6 days a week for decades, rarely or never allowing mistakes to make it past the pass.
That doesn't even include the stress of running and managing a restaurant.
>Imagine if some coder was acting like these retards
The same shit happens but in reverse: good coders love to do things "the right way" but are constantly battling business school faggots pressuring them to rush out half-baked slop that will make everyone's life more difficult.

dropped after second season. s1-s2 was really good but after that they had nothing left to say. always best to go out on top instead of after you fall all the way to the bottom.

This and it reduces incidents of fatheads bellowing for sauce like it's a Denny's. If they had a sense of humour they'd start leaving out ketchup.

Noone is saying cooking a dish is hard. The hard part is making money because people arenโ€™t willing to pay that much money for food
