Star Jeremy Allen White explains how Mikey resealed all those tomato cans discovered by Carmy during The Bear season 1 finale. The Bear premiered on June 23 on Hulu and the new FX series follows White as a young fine dining chef from one of the world's greatest restaurants in New York City who comes back home to Chicago to run his family's Italian beef sandwich shop following the death of his brother, Michael. The Shameless star leads The Bear cast as Carmy alongside Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Abby Elliott.
