This sounds like a Bear-y good idea

Where would chefs from “The Bear” work in Greenville?

If you’re into popular shows, chances are you’ve seen “The Bear” on Hulu. For those that don’t know, “The Bear” follows a chef who takes over his brother’s dive restaurant and then decides to make it a Michelin star-winning spot. We got to thinking… if chefs from “The Bear” worked in Greenville, where would they work? Here’s what we came up with.

Chef Carmen (aka Carmy) | Scoundrel | 18 N. Main St.

Carmy’s fine-dining experience and ability to push the envelope immediately made us think of Scoundrel. He and Chef Joe Cash could collab on some fabulous dishes.

Chef Sydney | Fork and Plough | 1629 E. North St.

Chef Sydney is an innovator, and we think she would love the challenge of a twice-daily menu change like Fork and Plough offers.

Chef Marcus | Better Than Sex | 23-25 College St.

Hear us out on this one. We know Chef Marcus can be a little gruff and hot-headed, but his dessert game is out of this world. We think he could bring some major talent to this dessert spot, and he would have fun with the unique ingredients that Better Than Sex uses.

Chef Bettina (aka Tina) | Comal 864 | Multiple locations

Chef Tina starts off begrudging change, but eventually she realizes she loves to cook and wants to learn. We think her working with Chef Dayna at Comal 864 would be the perfect use of her talents.

Richie | CAMP | 2 E. Broad St.

We know Richie technically isn’t a chef, but he proved his front-of-house skills in season one. We think his mix of personality and professionalism would serve him well at CAMP.

Environment

Water you waiting for?

What do Greenville Water, an environmental DNA study, and “rare critters” have in common?

That’s some high quality H₂0. Greenville Water is conducting an environmental DNA (or eDNA) study in the Table Rock + North Saluda watersheds with the goal of getting data on the wildlife that live in each.

What is eDNA?

eDNA is “genetic material that living things” leave behind. Scientists collect + study it, and that helps analyze the “makeup” of the creatures living in that area.

What could the study reveal?

If we’re lucky, a mermaid. But probably not. More likely, we could see new frogs, mussels, and crayfish. There’s also an “elusive” green salamander that could show its little green head.

What’s the reason for the study?

Ultimately, the study is to help with future conservation efforts + to maintain the water quality that we so know and love. We even wrote an article about it.

From the editor
For those of you that didn’t know, I worked in food + beverage from the time I was 17 until I got this job a year ago. When I tell you “The Bear” is a scarily accurate representation of what it’s like, I mean it. It’s also really fun, but I’m very glad to be here with you lovely people.
