   Summary

   Sydney's years at the Culinary Institute of America are constantly overshadowed by the invisible presence of young star chef and alumni, Carmen Berzatto.

   The story of how Sydney joined the Bear.

   ‘Young’ accompanied Carmen Berzatto like a badge of honor, the defining characteristic that made his brilliance so note-worthy. Carmen right now looked young. Not exceptional-student, instant-prodigy young, but young in the way that Sydney looked young.
