Chicote, hands to work at laSexta
Fans will get a fresh episode of Nightmares in the Kitchen on La Sexta tonight at 22:30. Alberto Chicote returns to confront a struggling Sevillian tavern known as El Palomo, a late-night venue run by a pair of twins who face challenges in updating their service and menu. The episode delves into chaotic scenes as staff struggle with order-taking while the venue lacks a functioning data terminal, leaving some customers unsettled as they depart without paying under the guise of accusing the cashier. The kitchen itself is a source of tension with equipment faults, including a door broken on a freezer, hazardous butane cylinders, and stoves that occasionally sit on the floor. The cook named Jesús adds to the tension by leaving the tavern in the middle of a busy night after a tense encounter with Chicote. After a period of hard work and reflection, the reimagined plan for El Palomo aims to revitalize the tavern, reshape its culinary offerings, and renew its flavor profile under new guidance. The reimagining will also feature a community touch by welcoming Betis actor Capi and a rociero choir to provide a ceremonial end to the reopening.
