We’re catching up live with our TODAY fall cover star, Ayo Edebiri ayoedebiri! She’s talking all about TheBearFX, being honored as a rising star at the Time 100 Next Gala 2022, and more.
, Edebiri’s performance was a standout among critics and audiences alike; up until this point, she had been known solely for her comedic output, with credits in Netflix's animated show “Big Mouth” and stand-up sets on Comedy Central.
To prepare for the role, she and White trained at the Institute of Culinary Education in Pasadena, California, and afterward went their separate ways for further training based on each of their character’s experiences. Edebiri worked with female chefs, and eventually, the two took shifts in the kitchens at Michelin-starred restaurants like Pasjoli in Santa Monica, Contra in New York and Elske in Chicago. Edebiri says she also pulled from her time working in restaurants to inform her performance.
“It was kind of cathartic returning to a restaurant with less fear. I remember always being afraid of the chefs,” she says. Now that Edebiri is playing one on TV, she appreciates the real-world effort that goes into running a restaurant every day.
