Restaurateur Donnie Madia's influence on 'The Bear' drew inspiration from his work at Avec, leading to a character loosely based on him.
"I think they got a lot of stuff right. Syd, for me, our paths were very similar. Entering a restaurant and working your way through the ranks, there's a big drive behind all of the cooks here," says Chef Dylan Patel.
"I'm a big fan of The Bear [...] it's a true love letter to this beautiful city we live in," states Donnie Madia, expressing his appreciation for the show's tribute to Chicago.
