‘The Bear’ star Jeremy Allen White reveals his 2 favorite Chicago restaurants

Jeremy Allen White may play a famed Chicago chef and owner of the fictional restaurant “The Bear,” but which real Chicago restaurant is his favorite?

The actor was asked that question at the Screen Actors Guild Awards over the weekend and he gave two of his top picks.

They include Bavette’s Bar & Boeuf and La Scarola.

River North’s Bavette’s is no stranger to such reviews, having been named last year in a ranking of the world’s 101 best steak restaurants.

La Scarola, a famed Italian mainstay in the city, boats a long list of celebrity clientele, and has long been considered one of Guy Fieri’s favorites in Chicago as well.

The newest season of the hit show “The Bear” was set to begin filming in the city this month.

The famed Chicago-set comedy-drama series is scheduled to return for its fourth season in 2025.
