Abby Elliott Instagram – Abby Elliott has not tried the omelet. You know the one. In Season 2 of ‘The Bear,’ we watch Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) painstakingly prepare a boursin cheese omelet for Elliott’s character Natalie, who’s near to the point of collapse from the combined stress of the restaurant opening and her own pregnancy. We see Sydney delicately strain the eggs, fold in the cheese, and then, in the scene’s most mouthwatering and catchy moment, she crumbles a handful of potato chips on the finished product. Who among us hasn’t tried the same since then?
Well, not Elliott, 37, who plays the sister of Jeremy Allen White’s “Carmy” in the Emmy-nominated series. She could barely stomach eating the omelet on the day of filming. Elliott was pregnant with her second baby when they shot the second season. “I didn’t have morning sickness,” she said, “but I had an aversion to eggs, and in that scene I had to use a spit bucket.”
At the link in bio, Elliott shares how her own pregnancy and birth became intertwined with her character’s, and writer Phillip Maciak asserts this is one more way ‘The Bear’ is plumbing the depths of motherhood.
