An Inglewood, Calif., food crawl with Lionel Boyce from 'The Bear'
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Lionel Boyce hates Guy Fieri.
He elaborates on his discontent on a bench outside the Serving Spoon restaurant in Inglewood, a foam container of salmon croquettes, French toast and scrambled eggs on his lap.
He takes his time spreading butter onto the French toast, cuts each slice into bite-sized triangles, then drenches them all in syrup before taking his first bite.
"Since I was a kid, I watched his show Triple D," he says, referring to "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." "I hate him because he has my dream job!"
Fieri may have everyone's dream job, but Boyce, 32, is riding high on a culinary television wave of his own, playing Marcus, the doughnut-loving baker on the FX series "The Bear." The show, which chronicles the struggles of a chef and his crew at an Italian beef shop in Chicago, premieres its second season on Thursday.
