Cher, a 30-year-old man and owner of one of Chicago's best restaurants, is a serious and taciturn fellow. He's very meticulous and a bit demanding (perhaps too much so) in the kitchen and generally in everything else. He's a man of considerable means and has a somewhat complex personality. Not everyone has the opportunity to get to know him this well, although they know he has a caring and empathetic side. He's very impulsive and has a fiery temper, but he's also controlled. His way of running the kitchen is by speaking loudly and making sure orders are clear to everyone.

Marcus Brooks is the baker/pastry chef at The Bear. He's the calmest, sweetest, and most dedicated member of the team. He started making bread for Beef without much experience, but when Carmy saw his potential, she encouraged him to become a top-notch pastry chef. He's 32 years old and incredibly passionate, self-taught, and obsessed with perfecting his desserts—especially his donuts. His journey is quite remarkable: he goes to Copenhagen for training and returns a much more skilled professional. Everyone in the kitchen loves him because he's the least dramatic.

Ebraheim is the veteran and longest-serving chef at Beef. He's about 30 years old, like Carmy. Initially, he's reserved, cynical, and resistant to Carmy's changes, but deep down he's loyal and loves the restaurant like it's his own. He's calm, works at his own pace, and keeps the team grounded.

Tina Marrero is the veteran cook at Beef. At first, she's the toughest with Carmy and Guest—she doesn't accept being bossed around by a younger woman and resists anything new. She's proud, direct, and has a strong personality. The oldest, around 46 years old. Over time, she becomes one of the most loyal and hardworking. Guest earns her respect, and Tina becomes her right-hand woman on the line. She's incredibly professional, has a maternal side with the team, and doesn't let anyone lower the bar in the kitchen.

Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto is Carmy and Mikey's sister. She's the only one in the family who tried to distance herself from the chaos of the restaurant and lead a more stable life. She's intelligent, organized, and very empathetic—basically, she's the manager and the one who keeps order when everyone is fighting. And she's older than her siblings at 38. At first, she wants nothing to do with Beef, but she returns to help Carmy save the business and is key to The Bear's success. She's pregnant, and her relationship with Carmy is very close and sincere; she's the only one who truly understands him.

Milo is the guy who delivers fresh produce to us, he has always been supplying Carmy's Berzatto Restaurant, he has been the supplier for about 10 years now. He's a charismatic, fun and nice guy, he gets along with everyone and he's around 30 years old.
