I love how when Laura realized Perla was unable to keep up, she immediately put on a chef's apron and stepped up. That shows that as an owner she would find a way to keep the ship afloat.

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Even though she's doing her best, her huge mistake is trusting Perla so much just because Perla has working with Laura for 6 years and treating her like her kid. However, Perla only cares for her money, noticed that every time Laura breaks down, Perla didn't do anything to comfort her or apologize for her mistakes. Once Gordon tasked Laura and Perla to cook fresh, you can see Laura is very excited while Perla looks confused. And the last dinner service proof that Perla is a total mess because she has no idea how to cook fresh since she's always get tasked to use microwave very often.

[@Proserpira]

@@margarethmichelina5146 Oh uh, no not at all. To explain, this is something that works on the mentally ill, the elderly, children and drug addicts. It's entirely psychological. By crouching down to or below a person's eye level, you show that you aren't taking a position of superiority. To explain, imagine you can't stand and you're extremely frustrated about that and your lack of movement. You're angry and upset and you can't do anything about it. Separately, two nurses come towards you to say you just have to wait a bit more. Nurse A, who has been in the job for decades and is one of the alarmingly large amount of healthcare workers who for some reason hates dealing with people, says this whilst standing. She is looking down at the resident (we don't use the term customer where I am!) from above. This position implies several things: 1) I am above you 2) I am an authority 3) I do not have time for you 4) I don't care about you as an individual. Nurse B, who is fresh out of med school and was taught to not listen to Nurse A, crouches down so her eyes are below the resident's. This gives off these impressions: 1) I am hear to help _you_ 2) I am taking the time to listen and to understand 3) I am not above you, I'm just a human like you 4) I am happy to be with you If you ever have an elderly person or a child who is being aggressive or is upset, try it. It's like a switch, they immediately calm down a little because they realise someone is willing to listen. Also about my examples: yes i am indeed extremely biased

What Happened to Mama Rita's? We are told at the end of the show that after Gordon left Naris stayed for a few weeks to help get the restaurant off the ground. Perla was removed as Head Chef for the restaurant but continued working in the catering side of the business. However, Perla actually remained as Head Chef after being trained by Naris in the following weeks. Laura reverted back to her old menu, abandoning Gordon's menu. Yelp reviews were mostly positive after filming with a handful of 1/2 star reviews. Mama Rita's closed in December 2010 but the catering business was still in business for a number of years. After the closure, Laura managed Mission Oaks Cafe in Camarillo, CA and Yelp reviews were average. Mission Oaks Cafe closed in June 2019. Mama Rita's aired on March 19 2010, the episode was filmed in May 2009 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 3 episode 8.

Perla: can’t cook anything that isn’t frozen Laura: talks talk, will not walk walk Also Laura: has a very weird relationship with her dead-eyed ‘chef’ L&P: threw away nearly 2 million on a ‘restaurant’ in less than a year. It doesn’t quite add up. Something fishy about this one. Either Perla had Laura over a barrel in some way, or their relationship was more than just friends…or maybe both. Very very odd. Can’t believe that after all that happened, Laura would rather keep Perla on, revert right back to what they were doing before Gordon came, and close a few months later. Makes absolutely ZERO sense. IMHO

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

I thought the same thing. Something is very odd here.

[@zoeevans6410]

Right. I can't fathom it either. The restaurant was dead within a month of opening, and they limped on with hideous food for six years. Why on earth is Perla Laura's "saviour"? She made chicken with garlic and salt for Gordon Ramsay, for goodness' sake. I wonder if Laura had a crush, or maybe she just idolises people, like her late grandma. Either way, Perla had her claws in, and definitely had her over a barrel.

He's expressed often in interviews how ungrateful this show was. When the restaurant fails, he's blamed, when it succeeds, he isn't praised. Personally, I have to disagree with that. Maybe snobby reviews will say so, but the fans of the show understand nuance. I believe at the very least, even if they close, if he manages to keep them open successfully for another year, another 2 or even 3 years, he's helped them bridge the gap of the often massive debt that they're in, and at times I'm sure even enables them sell the place to clear the debt entirely. I find this is Gordon Ramsay's best show. I think it's genius. I feel any entrepreneur would be doing himself a service to watching them.
