SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “The Original Beef of Chicagoland,” the series finale of “The Bear,” now streaming on Hulu.
The real restaurant was the friendships they made along the way.
That’s basically the hyper-earnest thesis of “The Bear,” which aired its series finale on Hulu on Thursday.

The Bear “has something” that no other restaurant has, says Will Poulter’s Luca in a clichéd farewell monologue. And what’s that? “Family.”
