“I wanted it to be distracting. I wanted the viewer to be like, ‘What the f— is Bob Odenkirk doing here?’' Christopher Storer, the creator of “The Bear” and director of the season two episode 'Fishes,' says:
, the culinary producer on the series , spent a lot of time with Curtis, walking her through her scenes in the kitchen preparing the meal. Christopher Storer said Courtney would explain to the actor “‘the branzino would go here, the sauces here’ — just getting her sort of acclimated in the kitchen.”
“Part of the reason the food is so striking is I’ve always kind of felt like home cooking is always so much more beautiful than — and I say this with zero disrespect — something that’s been plated by a three-star Michelin staff because you know that woman’s been at the stove forever and she doesn’t have the equipment to do it in,” Christopher Storer said. “I’ve been to so many Seven Fishes dinners in my life, a lot of my friends are Italian in Chicago and I grew up in an Italian family.
The scene of the group around the dining table provided one of the episode’s most stressful moments as a hostile blowout involving Mikey, Uncle Lee and, later, Donna erupts. The tension between Mikey and Lee, seemingly over Lee’s exasperation over Mikey re-telling a story everyone’s heard, escalates quickly, with the two shouting barbs at each other and Mikey eventually slinging a fork at Lee.
Bernthal was originally given a weighty rubber-like fork to hurl at Odenkirk, but because it didn’t read well on camera, he ended up using a plastic one with a sound effect added in. “Jon was really trying to whip it,” Storer said. “And the thing is it’s inherently so ridiculous, him throwing a fork at someone, that it just continued to get dumber and dumber.”
