How Much Money Was in the Spaghetti?
One of the biggest questions at the end of Season 1 revolves around the money that Carmy finds in the Spaghetti cans. Just how much was in them that allowed him to shut down the restaurant and start from scratch? According to an interview with Indiewire, The Bear creator, co-showrunner, and director Christopher Storer revealed that the Spaghetti cans that the group unpacks in the final episode of the first season total out to $295,000. If that amount sounds familiar, then you probably already know where the money came from as well.
Where Did the Money Come From in The Bear?
That’s right, the money that was in the Spaghetti cans is the $300,000 loan that Michael took out from Uncle Jimmy, aka Cicero. According to Storer, Michael was most likely instructed not to put the money in the bank for myriad tax reasons, so he decided to hide them in cans instead. Carmy learns about this after he’s given the suicide note and goes to make the group a family special using the cans based on the ingredients that were on the note, which leads him to find the money. The reason it’s $5,000 short is that Carmy threw away one of the cans in the pilot episode.

In the interview, Storer also said he got the idea to put them in spaghetti cans after doing research about drugs and money being stored and trafficked like this in the past.
