A little hard to watch but, worth it

The director seems to like the scene were there's a lot of emotion and everybody involved is trying to talk over everyone else. That happens at least 3 or 4 times every episode. that's why it's hard to watch. Building tension to the point of stressing the viewer is the norm. Other than that, the story unfolds a little too slow sometimes. The acting is tops. Every character is realistic and believable. The long story threads through the episodes with pleasant diversions into the individual characters with everything coming back together at just the right time. The language is continual f-bomb and violation of the Third Commandment. I'm expecting cooking schools to experience the kind of surge that the chess clubs got after Queen's Gambit. The culinary aspects appear to be genuine and interesting. I learned how to make a better omelet. I didn't expect a story about a Chicago restaurant to be this entertaining.
