Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

For the first time ever on "Kitchen Nightmares," Gordon takes on a nightmare restaurant abroad: La Parra de Burriana, an expat restaurant in Nerja on Spain's Costa del Sol. Its Mediterranean menu boasts 72 options, but raw kebabs and slow service threaten to put the La Parra out of business.

Gordon visits the Fenwick Arms, a pub in rural Lancashire. After 30 years in the business and a quadruple heart bypass, owner Brian still puts in 120 hours per week and insists on laying down the law in the kitchen. But the pub is losing money fast and Brian only allows his head chef to dress the food. Can Gordon get him out of the kitchen long enough to save his restaurant?

For the last year, former Michelin-starred chef Nick has run Rococo, a picturesque but neglected eatery in King's Lynn. The menu is past its sell-by date, the service is stuffy, the food is overpriced and the only thing being fed is his ego. But despite debts of £100,000 and the prospect of putting his family on the street, Nick continues to cook comatose in a 1990s fantasy land.

Gordon grapples with girl power when he takes on Morgan's, an intimate eatery near Liverpool run by former antiques dealer Sandy and her two daughters. The beautifully-designed dining room has a prime location for trendy local clientele, but head chef Phil can't keep up with the eclectic menu, Sandy can't keep the books straight and the restaurant is £100,000 in debt.
