‘The Bear’ Fans Have Questions About How Sydney Owns $2,000 Caviar on Nearly No Salary

The Bear fans noticed a $2,000 tin of caviar in Sydney’s kitchen — and they have questions about how she spends her money.

Season 3 of the hit Hulu series, which started streaming last month, featured a scene in the finale where employees from the now-closed restaurant Ever visit Sydney’s (Ayo Edebiri) new apartment. Chef Terry (Olivia Colman) is seen helping Sydney prepare snacks using frozen pizza and waffles, which she suggests they garnish with some caviar that was by the sink.

“I like how Sydney can’t afford a real couch or health insurance, is canonically broke and in credit card debt, only keeps frozen pizza and waffles in her fridge, but has a $2k+ tin of caviar lying around that is undoubtedly more than a month of rent for her,” a fan wrote via X with a screenshot of the moment.

The Bear viewers took to the comments section to defend Sydney’s right to buy the “lifestyle she deserves,” with one social media user adding, “She’s just like me … won’t spend money on necessities but buy one expensive s—t and clothes 😭.”
