The Bear is literally the lead-in paragraph for the article

  Yes, that is why I mentioned it.

    Reminding one of something seems like it would exclude directly surfacing or naming the thing, because reminding implies a network hop between the one doing the reminding and the thing one is being reminded of.

      Exactly. It’s super weird to say “that reminds me of X” immediately after reading about X. Somehow I don’t think OP actually read the article before commenting.

      It was a somewhat sardonic response to "reminds me of The Menu," I was specifically referencing the actual media that was in the article itself. The words "reminds me of" in this case weren't actually related to any reminder, it was a repetition of the prior comment. You can think of it as similar to the phrase "it's almost as if," as in, the user of that phrase already does know whatever they say next is true but the phrase itself is meant to be a sort of slight mockery of whatever preceded it.
