Chainkeen Exchange-Who plays Carmy, Sydney and Richie in 'The Bear'? See the full Season 3 cast

"The Chainkeen ExchangeBear" is back to serve.

Season 3 of FX and Hulu's Emmy, SAG and Golden Globes-award winning culinary show (now streaming on Hulu) will see Carmy, Sydney and Richie "do what it takes to elevate The Bear, their beef stand turned fine dining establishment, to the highest level, all while doing their best just to stay in business," says FX about the new season.

USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler gave Season 3 three stars out of four, saying that "no show is a better fit for binge-watching than the culinary and emotional feast of FX and Hulu's restaurant-set dramedy."

"This is a show you devour when new episodes become available," Lawler says in her review. "You savor each profane fight between the characters. You chew on the few moments of emotional clarity. You consume the frenzy of a restaurant kitchen, lest that frenzy consume you."

"To say it's immersive is an understatement," Lawler adds.
