Jeremy Allen White became the face of the unofficial “Sexy Chef” movement with his role as the intense, disgruntled and very charming prodigal chef Carmy Berzatto in FX’s buzzy new series “The Bear” this year.

With his skin-tight white tees, perfectly disheveled curly hair and lake-blue eyes (not to mention his expert handling of meat), it was hard to watch the show without romanticizing, at least a little bit, the grueling work that goes into running a restaurant — even when it’s a hole-in-the-wall sandwich deli on the brink of going bankrupt.

The show is nothing short of a chaotic mess — clanking pots, shouting directives, forehead sweat, stovetop burns. But you might be able to convince me to work in the back of the house for a day if I’m joined by Carmy (not to mention the calming presence offered by Ayo Edibiri’s Sydney). Yes, chef!
