Abby Elliott, one of the stars of FX’s award-winning series The Bear, has shared a surprising behind-the-scenes detail about one of the show’s most talked-about food moments, “Omelette”.
During the now-famous “Omelette” episode from Season 2, her character Natalie better known as Sugar, is served a delicious egg dish by chef Sydney. But according to Abby Elliott, she couldn’t enjoy the mouth-watering meal during filming.
Speaking to CinemaBlend, Abby Elliott explained that her real-life pregnancy at the time gave her a strong aversion to eggs the key ingredient in the fancy omelette made on screen using Boursin cheese, chives, and sour cream & onion crisps.
“When Sydney makes Sugar the omelette, I was pregnant, and I had an aversion to eggs,” she said. “So I’ve since gone back and have tried the Boursin omelette with potato chips, and it’s unbelievable. But at the time, it went unappreciated by me.”
This adds an interesting twist for fans who remember Sugar enjoying the dish in the episode. In reality, Abby Elliott was hiding her discomfort while filming a scene many viewers called one of the show’s most appetising moments.
But for Abby Elliott, filming the scene wasn’t quite as appetising. Her pregnancy aversion to eggs made it hard to enjoy what many fans called the “best-looking omelette on TV.”
