The free event will feature five dishes curated by Courtney Storer, Chef and Culinary Producer of "The Bear." Menu items are inspired by the series' central characters with Just Bare® chicken as the key ingredient, from a Chicken Piccata based on Carmy's instinct to reinvent classic dishes closest to his heart, to a Spring Pea Crème Fraiche dedicated to Tina's determined spirit, alongside dishes that represent Syd, Richie and Marcus. Guests will gather around an open-format kitchen and family-style shared tables for an elevated communal dining experience with Storer on-site to guide them through the character story and technique behind each dish.
"Creating the menu for this event was a chance to explore one of my favorite things about food: its ability to tell a story," said Storer. "Each dish was inspired by a different character, relationship or moment from 'The Bear,' and we used Just Bare® chicken to bring those personalities to life. Having a versatile, high-quality ingredient gave us the flexibility to be creative while staying true to the heart of the menu. I'm excited for fans to cook these recipes, gather around the table and connect with the characters and stories behind them."

About FX's "The Bear"
The fifth and final season of FX's "The Bear" premieres on June 25 and picks up the morning after Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Natalie (Abby Elliott) discover Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them. With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they'll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant "perfect" might not be the food, but the people. The series also stars Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson, and was created by Christopher Storer, who serves as Executive Producer alongside Josh Senior, Cooper Wehde, Tyson Bidner, Matty Matheson, Hiro Murai and Rene Gube. Courtney Storer serves as a Culinary Producer. The series is produced by FX Productions and streams on Hulu, and Disney+ internationally.
