    Season 3, Episode 8

    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.

      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 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️💯

    ok, so if some has really bad anxiety with working on the line in a restaurant, that, they have to be insulted like that? you dont know what type of hell that woman has been through, honestly laura, should have given her a different job at that restaurant like a potwasher or a cleaning lady. that was way too stressful to do that to someone.

    Emotional people have no place being in a restaurant, no offence. I am very emotional. I would never put myself as a head chef
