    Season 3, Episode 8
    Gordon travels to Newbury Park in Southern California to Mexican restaurant Mama Ritas. Owner Laura ran an incredibly successful catering business for years before transferring her skills to running a restaurant, but she has failed to grasp that the two things are very different beasts.

    Laura ended up going back to the same chef who microwaved food. Of course the restaurant quickly folded.

      She should have hired an actual head chef. She could have kept her friend , kept her in the kitchen , but under an experienced chef who could have lead them into the future. Thatbwould have prepared then for the future and helped her friend as well. Her friend wasn't a head chef, she was a catering cook, a head chef would have made them better and helped her friend learn how to to a head chef. It's not an insult , every chef is akways looking to learn, or should be, so it would be a valuable tool for everyone. Having one more on the payroll may hurt at furst, but it would have increased the value overall and been an investment that would have doubled the value ten fold.

      It's simple really. Perla is not an employee for her, it's her dear friend. For a change the owner (Laura) actually seems to see all that and I agree with you. I just think she doesn't have the heart to fire Perla. Well, as other comments have said she did indeed not do such thing and the place caved in. I don't think Laura realized at that moment that she's actually being a bad friend by treating her as her child and not being honest with her. Oh well.

    Unpopular opinion here, but the whole Perla/Laura friendship feels very one-sided to me. Laura is almost $2 million in debt and she still can’t cut ties with Perla, during and after this episode, while Perla only cares to have her easy job back. It’s a very toxic friendship, if you want to call it that.

    Putting Perla on Catering is a mistake as well, She can't cook. That food is going to be terrible there as well. If you want to keep Perla around, she needs to start at the very beginning, Salads & maybe cold grinders, and not frozen meats.

    I get that Laura is the owner, however, it's her Abuela's recipes... and if people loved her cooking, then obviously her and/or her mother should be doing the cooking... and NOT Perla, who obviously doesn't know how to cook anything 🙄 😒 😑 🤔 🤦🏼‍♀️
    My Abuela is rolling over in her grave 🤦🏼‍♀️ what a shame 😬 😔
    You NEVER cook in a microwave 🙄 common sense that a microwave is NOT cooking 😒 like C'mon now 🙄 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😑
    Fresh homemade from scratch is ALWAYS the way to go, especially when it's "supposedly" authentic cooking 💯🤌

      Add-To-Note:
      Laura [and/or her mother] should have taught Perla and properly trained her themselves, especially since it's their authentic family recipes 🙄
      My Abuela properly taught me ALL her recipes and her and my Padre trained me, I do the same with my children and whoever else wants to know and learn.
      I understand that she cares for Perla and she acts as if Perla is her daughter, I can get that. However, caring for someone is NOT enough to let them ruin your business.
      Take Perla off of "Head Chef" and start her on Salads 🥗 and sauces, etc.. train her in Desserts and then teach her cooking from square one.
      If you wanna keep Perla, then do it right and properly teach the girl right, because she absolutely CANNOT cook at all right now 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️💯

The second time I ate this curry, I got food poisoning. I’m tempted to give them a second chance just because the food is great and its nearby.
