The Best Guide to Chicago Restaurants in FX’s ‘The Bear’ Seasons 1-4 | Eater Chicago
"The Bear creator Christopher Storer spent time working at Mr. Beef and shot scenes both on location at the River North restaurant and in a soundstage recreation of the space. Joe Zucchero, who founded the restaurant in 1979, died in 2023, but his son Chris has taken over and made a few cameos on the show. The Beef may have transformed into a fine dining establishment, but Mr. Beef is still slinging its iconic sandwiches." - Ashok Selvam
