This week’s episode of Kitchen Nightmare managed to overcome the chaos and lack of control experienced last week in La Terracita de Alboraya. Alberto Chicote and his entire team moved to the Madrid town of Majadahonda, where The owners of the Peruvian Tradiciones restaurant had urgently requested the chef’s intervention to try to save the family business.. Despite the generous portions that the diners loved, the truth is that the arguments caused the customers to run away and never return. Although the show aired this Tuesday on LaSexta, it was recorded months ago, so It remains to be seen how it is currently located and whether it is still open..
As usual, the chef and his team first came to discover the company’s problems, quickly realizing that the arguments and lack of leadership of Jorge, its owner, were its weak points. LaSexta viewers were able to see that the family ties that unite all the staff became a source of problems, since personal problems transferred to work, causing many arguments. As if that were not enough, The owner runs away from problems whenever he can and retreats to a room with armchairs and a huge television when things go wrong.. With all these ingredients, everything seemed lost, but the truth is that in September 2024, the store is still open and providing services to its customers. As Happy FM saw, the restaurant is still accepting orders hours after it appeared on TV..
After resolving personal issues, Chicote prepared a very special menu for Peruvian Traditions to improve its dishes and portion sizes, but The truth is that little remains of these culinary recommendations on its menu. What remains is the reform that the team Kitchen Nightmare made on siteas evidenced by the photos published on their social networks and those shared by their customers.
Reviews of Peruvian traditions today
“We ordered ceviche, lomo saltado, stuffed potatoes, causa, grilled chicken and ají de gallina. The food was very delicious and the only complaint we would have is that there was little ají de gallina but it was very good and that some of us lacked cutlery and plates… even if it seems silly, I consider that the small details make the difference and that is why I give it a 4”, says a customer who stopped by the store just days before appearing on television.
Although the changes were positive, some customers did not like Chicote’s menu.Its atmosphere has improved, good service, but the quality of the food has gone down, I was disappointed with my favorite dish Lomo Saltado, they don’t serve it like they used to” says a review written in May 2024, when the program had already been recorded.
As advertised, it is currently still open and only closes on Tuesdays to rest, but there is nothing left of dishes like shrimp tartare with jalapeño gazpacho and fried plantain or wonton soup with spicy ear dumplings, some of the dishes that have changed their menu program and are no longer available.
Unlike other restaurants that have been through Kitchen Nightmare, they did not take advantage of the television broadcast to make themselves known and announce their changes. Peruvian Traditions maintains its activity on social networks, particularly on Instagram, where it makes no mention of Chicote’s passage there and Asked by Happy FM about Alberto Chicote’s dishes, they prefer not to answer.
