#adam Shapiro trying to poach SYDNEY

[unladyboss]

RED FLAGS ADAM SHAPIRO: Season 3 THE BEAR

1. He shouldn't be tell her (a stranger), but trys to manipulate her by making her an unwilling confidant

2. Instead of making himself known to his former coworker Carmy or to Richie who just staged at EVER , he snuck in. Kept it a secret he was going. When he got there he didn't announce himself.

3. He snuck in two weeks ago and still hasn't made it known to Carmy or Richie. BUT he did peep Sydney, got to know her name and though she's never seen him on her way to work, he just randomly shows up one day at her train station, just before he announced to her he wants to give her a job. Ok Adam.

4. He got past Richie and Carmy by bringing a group of people (HE says), so it was low key.

Was it low key if you were with a bunch of friends at a new restaurant by your former CDC? Or did you sneak in? Pick ONE STORY and stick to it Adam

5. He said that Carmy and Richie were busy yelling at each other. How'd he see that?

When Carmy was being loud in the kitchen with Sydney the customers only knew because Richie took them back there.

So does he have someone in there reporting to him?

6. Then Adam admits that he's been in the all yelling situation with his staff. Sea legs, so in the START-UP of the restaurant. Which is what he was proposing to do with Sydney.

So basically he outlined all of the hot water he'd have her in, within the first few minutes of meeting her.

Sydney my dear. Collect your new man Luca and head for Copenhagen. Don't worry

CARMY will know where to find you.

Lmao and yes. When the camera panned over to Shapiro to show how much more advanced Carmy was skill-wise, that man was in his whole feelings.

There is something to be said about how adamant Shapiro was to acquire Sydney from Carmy. He's definitely trying to poach her, I didn't believe him for one second when claimed that wasn't his intention.

When he was telling Sydney about being at the restaurant and eating the food, he praises the scallop dish, saying it was new and unlike Carmy. Sydney says they came up with the dish together, but that's just not true. That dish was all Carmy. This season made it painstakingly clear that all the dishes were from Carmy. Sydney lacked a majority of the creative input.

I'm only theorizing at this point, but I think Shapiro knew exactly what type of environment she was working in. He knew that dish was all Carmy and that Sydney would be itching to have a bigger role. That's why, in their lunch talk, he promised her full reign of the kitchen. However she wanted to lead the kitchen, that's how it would be. Sounds way too good to be true for a man that just met her.

Shapiro wants Sydney to spite Carmy. He knows exactly who to poach to get under Carmy's skin.

He could hire any of the crew at Ever to come and be his CDC, someone who he is more familiar with, but he is going out of his way for Sydney, hounding her at the Ever funeral, and pressuring her to give him an answer.

The former chef of Ever poaching Sydney is not just because Sydney’s a great chef, but it’s also probably resentment at Carmy for being better…

as seen in the the season 3 premiere where Carmy was showing them up…
