As a seasoned gamer with years of immersion in the digital world, I can confidently say that Chef RenĂ© Redzepi’s comparison of “The Bear” to “The Wire” is spot-on. Like many gamers who have spent countless hours engrossed in epic narratives, I found myself captivated by the raw authenticity and emotional depth that “The Bear” brings to the table (or should I say kitchen?).
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m known far and wide for my skills, often hailed as one of the best in the world. My fame has soared even higher lately due to my captivating Apple TV+ series, “Omnivore,” and, of course, being a significant influence on the hit FX and Hulu show, “The Bear.” The series not only references my establishment but has also filmed there, and amazingly, I made an appearance in it. In our chat about “Omnivore,” I couldn’t help but ask for his thoughts on “The Bear” and what it was like being part of the show.
Redzepi described The Bear as “The Wire of our time in the restaurant industry” when he grew up watching The Wire and found it to be the best show ever. Although some parts are fictional, the restaurant business is known for its intense stress, making The Bear’s portrayal relatable.
At Noma, there’s a renowned sensation called “The Bear.” Young visitors, like a 22-year-old we encountered recently, come to our restaurant in awe. As I greeted him on his way, he asked, “Is this where they filmed ‘The Bear’?” He shared that he didn’t care it was a restaurant; instead, he wished to trace the footsteps of this iconic figure.

Redzepi shared that for Noma, joining “The Bear” was not a big deal since we’ve known them for such a long time. He added, “Matty Matheson and the team, we went way back even before ‘The Bear’ existed.” Redzepi expressed that he wasn’t aware of the show until after it had started production. Friends texted him, asking why he was in every episode, to which he replied, “They filmed here three weeks prior to wrapping up the show.”
“Matty and I were having burgers together, and he asked me to participate in a film project. He explained that I would simply watch a plate the next morning for ten minutes. I agreed, and the preparation by the crew the day before took around two to three hours. They’re incredibly natural in their work.”
