Summary
The apprenticeship was emailed to her by one of her favorite professors right as decided it was time to wrap things up on Sheridan Road. She submitted the notice of dissolution for her LLC and her landlord had told her she had a month to find somewhere else to live when the email with the information about Chef Berzatto’s apprenticeship was sent to her. Working with Berzatto was one of her only options and a long shot, but her current state of affairs left her at a loss for what to do next. This apprenticeship sounded like her saving grace and last hope before she gave up on the culinary industry as a whole. A place that she never felt truly welcomed in or like she belonged.

Summary
It happened like this: Carmy’s energy was sapped and no one noticed or no one could notice or no one wanted to notice and like a marionette doll whose strings got cut off, he collapsed in a heap and did not, would not, could not, get up. Now, they must pick up the pieces.
OR Carmy falls into an episode of catatonic depression, and the aftermath.

Summary
“How’s the new CDC working out?”, Sydney then asks. It’s an out of the blue question and attempt at conversation that Carmy wasn’t expecting. He won’t complain, though.
He misses this most. Their talks. The long nights that they stayed awake, working on their chaos menu together. Their talks at the restaurant – their meetings, their locker chats when the day was done.
He misses hearing her voice in the kitchen. Misses hearing her call out orders. Misses hearing her say ‘behind’ or ‘corner’ or ‘hands’.
Now he misses her hands.
“Carmy? Did you hear me?”
“Hm? Yeah”, he says quickly, glancing over at her. “Yeah, I… um… I was just thinking”.

Summary
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

Summary
Sydney's years at the Culinary Institute of America are constantly overshadowed by the invisible presence of young star chef and alumni, Carmen Berzatto.
The story of how Sydney joined the Bear.
‘Young’ accompanied Carmen Berzatto like a badge of honor, the defining characteristic that made his brilliance so note-worthy. Carmen right now looked young. Not exceptional-student, instant-prodigy young, but young in the way that Sydney looked young.

Summary
“At the base of the well, Dante finds himself within a large frozen lake: Cocytus, the Ninth Circle of Hell. Trapped in the ice, each according to his guilt, are punished sinners, guilty of treachery against those with whom they had special relationships.”
He tastes bile - spends the rest of night throwing up the invisible contents of his empty stomach.
It’s the Ninth Circle. The last one. The one that’s frozen.
Which is a small mercy, he thinks. At least he can fall no further.
