The Daily Mail has reached out to FX for comment.
The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto, an haute cuisine chef who moves back to Chicago to take over his late brother's troubled Italian beef sandwich shop.
Carmy isn't satisfied with merely reviving the shop, and together with his brother's former right-hand man (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and his new sous-chef (Ayo Edebiri), he sets out to transform The Beef into The Bear, a fine-dining spot worth of a Michelin star.
