Just A Reminder That SydCarmy Admire And Respect Each Other So Deeply - Blog Posts

Sometimes I remember that no one in Carmy’s family ever really acknowledged all of his work as a Chef (except for Pete/Nat and that one cousin) and every thing it took for him to earn all of those accolades. They all seemed more upset that he left home rather than being proud of his success in his field. So when Syd came along, full of adoration for Carmy, his craft and all of the hard work he put into it, that must’ve been absolutely jarring for Carmy. Especially when she defended him against Richie when he called Carmy’s experiences in all of the different restaurants he worked in around the world stupid. imagine working in a field as thankless as culinary, working in multiple different restaurants around the world, receiving many awards, giving everything you have, being torn down every single day by your god awful boss telling you you’re not good enough and a million other terrible things, only to go home and be shamed for pursuing your passion and not even receiving an ‘I’m proud of you” or a “good job”. Until one person comes along and she admires you so deeply, she knows you as “the best CDC in the best restaurant in all of the U.S.”, and you made her the best meal she’s ever had. And all of the sudden for the first time in your life someone recognizes all of your hard work, all of your accomplishments, they acknowledge all of your successes in a way no one else really has, and they see you. This is what Syd did for Carmy, she saw every part of him, including all of his work as a chef when nobody else did and that shit makes me cry every time I remember it.
