“…the owners announced that the staff was no longer allowed to eat any food from the store during their shifts.”

I love you for your omelet rebellion! It’s wonderful how such a selfish act begot such a generous one and of course the jumbo omelet lives on while the fancy food store does not!

One of the skills I have not spent time mastering - so this is my impetus!

I immediately thought of Ferran Adria's Potato Chip omelet that was published in NYT Cooking a few years ago. It was really good - more classic Spanish omelet vs individual omelet. One of our fave discoveries in Spain were Bonilla a la vista potato chips that come in a festive blue and white tin.

This potato chips are everywhere now! I believe the omelet in The Bear was inspired by the Ferran Adria one, which is , yes, more like a salty, oily, shortcut because the potato chips rehydrate to make a traditional tortilla.
