The scenes of the high-intensity cooking feat, from the latest season of the popular FX television series “The Bear,” delivered an emotionally heightened portrayal of a tradition dear to many Italian American families. The 67 anxiety-inducing minutes probably didn’t inspire anyone to tackle the celebratory meal.This is unfortunate because the food is amazing, and the kitchen drama is part of what makes it all wor...
