The on-set wardrobe is also authentic with the cast using the same workwear as Ever’s employees. While Duffy and Muser don’t appear onscreen, Ever director of hospitality Amy Cordell is in a handful of scenes. The hook for Episode 7 was to show Richie Jerimovich, the foul-mouthed operator of the Original Beef of Chicagoland, how a fine dining restaurant operates. Marcus and Luca are supposed to be in Copenhagen, but they’re in Chicago at After. The sibling bar attached to Ever serves as the Copenhagen kitchen where actor Will Poulter’s dreamy pastry chef Luca resides. They also closed After for two days in April so crews could film Episode 4. Muser and Duffy closed Ever for a week in March so the crew could film. “So in the script that says, you know - ‘insane world-renowned three-Michelin-starred restaurant’ - for sure Curtis and I sit kind of disgruntled with our two stars.” “Obviously we have no power over the script - they wrote the script,” Muser says. The Bear’s version of Ever is a three-starred establishment from chef Terry (portrayed by Oscar winner Olivia Colman), hailed as the world’s best restaurant. At least The Bear’s version of Ever, the Fulton Market restaurant co-owned by Duffy and Michael Muser. In Episode 7, titled “Forks,” Duffy’s hands are seen plating the dishes served at Ever. Viewers won’t see Curtis Duffy’s face while watching the second season of The Bear, but the chef of Michelin-starred Ever’s hands are all over the production. *Spoilers for “The Bear,” Episodes 4 and 7, Season 2 below
