If you watched the last season of The bearYou may have noticed that Carmy (played by Jeremy Allen White) cleans the floors every night after the restaurant closes. But instead of using a mop, he and the rest of the staff choose to clean on all fours.
In a recent CoilJasmine started by saying that when they posted the “A day in the life” video During Musashi’s workday at the restaurant, where he and his co-workers would scrub the kitchen floor on their hands and knees, many people would ask, “Why can’t they just use a mop?” She went on to say, “…but there’s a reason.”
Chef Musashi explained that there are two main reasons why chefs do this every night: “First, I think it’s more convenient,” he began. “You can spot all the dirt and debris on the floor if you’re closer.

“I don’t really know of any other restaurant that does this other than one in Japan that I heard about, but I think it makes a lot of sense,” he added.
He goes on to say that it was great to see these clips in The bear. “I really resonated with that scene,” he explained.

Other people who worked in restaurants also shared their own experiences, such as this person who worked in Japan.
And this person who worked in France.
So, what do you think about this cleaning method? Do you agree with Chef Musashi? Let us know in the comments (or in the…
