A burger joint alcohola place in Benidormanother restaurant moraira or a modern, beachy place in the provincial capital. Alberto Chicote visited various points of Alicante during its various episodes ‘Nightmare in the kitchen’ and the result after the Madrid chef spent time in the area did not always deliver the results the owners and chef expected.
Below you will be able to discover which locations appear in the popular program. Sixth and whether the famous restaurants and bars are still open or closed (some have had happy endings).
Moraira (Restaurant ‘Da Vinci’ / ‘New Da Vinci’)
restaurant right now moraira What was revealed in the first season of ‘Kitchen Nightmare’ still remains closed. The locals were unable to overcome the difficulties he came in contact with Chicote and had to blindly put him down years ago (the program aired in 2012). After the closure, owner Rafa Soler explained to Vertele that Chicote is removing international cuisine from the menu, so customers are moving away: “No one wants to eat rice cooked with vine sprouts”. His son, on the other hand, explained that the main problem with ‘Da Vinci’ was the lack of fair business among those responsible and the deterioration of relations with his father.
Alcoy (Restaurant ‘La Hamburguesía’ / ‘La Broqueta’)
One of the programs most remembered with fights, screams and strange situations was recorded at Alcoy, specifically the old ‘La Hamburguesía’, and the program was renamed ‘La Broqueta’. She had to endure humiliation and insults in her local Chicote (famous “Are you an idiot or what’s wrong?” from the owner’s husband to the famous chef). The recording became so tense that the program began to reconsider whether it should continue or be lost: they did not do so, but despite all the work they did not continue, and ‘La Broqueta’ was also closed ( pierced).
The interesting thing is that the transfer of this place took place before the broadcast, as can be seen from the advertisements that the owner of the place, Clara and her husband, put on the internet: «Hi, we have a restaurant in Alcoy that we want to transfer, called La Broqueta, what that means will be broadcast on the television show Pesadilla en la cocina de Alberto Chicote in late February-early March. 3-zone room; There is a dining room for 45 people, a children’s area for 25 people and an interior terrace for 35 people. We were recently renovated by Alberto Chicote (photos can be viewed on Facebook), fully equipped refrigerators, freezers, gas stove, deep fryer, 3 big TVs and 5 air conditioners, cafeteria, 700 euros local rent per month and 175 euros local rent terrace ».
Benidorm (‘Harbour’)
Unpleasant images with “surprises” after opening the refrigerator and perusing the kitchen shops: Chicote had some rather unpleasant experiences while driving through ‘El Puerto’ in Benidorm. Especially because of the cook whose rude and despotic attitude didn’t help things move (or at least peacefully). Alberto Chicote believed that the best thing for the place to survive was to find another professional to take care of the stoves in the area, and it did: the place has remained open to this day.
Alicante (‘Hot Beach’ / ‘Golden Beach Alicante’)
HE Golden Beach Alicante He announced that he was shut down on social networks after the ‘Nightmare in the Kitchen’ experience in 2018. However, it was warned that three more restaurants belonging to the same owners were open following the closure of the facility. They announced on social networks that the best they could get from the program was “a magnificent and delicious cuisine”.
