A Nightmare in the Kitchen returns with a new season
Alberto Chicote returns tonight on laSexta with the eighth season of A Nightmare in the Kitchen, airing at 22:30. The anniversary format looks back on a decade of stories and success, now centered in Viladecans, near Barcelona. The episode follows José Antonio, a seasoned chef who once found success with his restaurant Colosseum but now struggles after opening Il Fogon della Toscana. The new venture emphasizes quality meals, yet it is held back by disorganization and subpar service that threaten its survival. The kitchen is plagued by an outdated menu, malfunctioning equipment, and scarce ingredients. Mistakes are frequent and conspicuous to diners. José Antonio blames his staff while failing to fully assume his responsibilities as owner. During service, meals are sent back, and employees leave the venue out of frustration manifested by some hosts who just cannot get along. Chicote’s mission is to restore order and defend the family behind the business, offering a plan to address the chaos and protect the home front from collapsing under pressure.
