CHICAGO - Newly Emmy-nominated actor Ayo Edebiri has spent a lot of time in Chicago recently, as one of the stars of the hit series "The Bear."

The series follows Chicago's culinary scene and all the behind-the-scenes drama of a small Italian beef shop, and Edebiri plays the shop's sous chef Sydney.

"We filmed in the winter, so there's just been a real sense of 'We are here. We are cold. This is real.' But it's a city that has so much character and history," Edebiri said.

"The city has really opened itself up to our show in such a beautiful way," the actress added.
