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.

Gordon idk how you endured the insane madness that you went through in these episodes through these seasons.Im sure 100% you had to get a drink everytime after the episodes were over.

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.

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 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️💯

I just moved to a new neighborhood in Brooklyn. There is delicious take-out place serving fantastic Jamaican food a few blocks away from the new apartment. Loved their shrimp curry. 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. But if their food was crappy like Mama Rita’s, I would never go back. Get sick to eat mediocre food? No thank you!

Cooking doesn't always come first. You also need to be able to talk to people and make good films.

There's definitely more to her obsession with Pearla. They're definitely In a relationship.

Karla and Perla hmmmm curious very curious

Many of us don't cook like that execpt at home

I thought he was being harsh, cause she admitted from the beginning that she didn't know what she was doing and she only knew catering. Then, the same day, he yells at her and doubts her commitment because she does things the only way she knows how. Thats unfair because you can't change things in a few minutes and without knowing what you were doing wrong.

LAURA WAS A BAD OWNER!

Have you ever heard somebody say, Hey let's go out to Laura's Restaurant for some delicious warmed up 2 month old frozen shit ? Your biggest mistake is that you should be feeding farm animals not people.

That Pearla is a blank of a human

24:55😂

Wow !!

I think this is just ridiculous she does not need a restaurant. And what happened to the restaurant did it close down eventually?

You can go to any grocery store the frozen section and buy that shit. Why would they come to your restaurant? Why would people pay you for something they can do?

You can be right if everybody else is wrong. Just not when it comes to customers.
