All the Chef Cameos in 'The Bear' Season 3, in Chronological Order
Another devoted member of chef Andrea Terry’s team at Ever is Adam Shapiro, portrayed by an actor, writer, and director of the same name, Adam Shapiro. In Episode 1’s flashback, Shapiro enviously peers over at Carmy and Luca as they shell peas at double his own speed.
