Richie can be loud and defensive. One minute he’s difficult and then the next shows why people keep rooting for him. He’s not a Berzatto by blood, but “Cousin” fits him perfectly. As The Bear changes, Richie begins to find purpose in service, especially when he realizes that front-of-house work is more than just smiling through dinner.
