Alberto Chicote returns for tenth season of ‘Pesadilla en la cocina’

The tenth season of the television program ‘Pesadilla en la cocina’ premieres on La Sexta, featuring chef Alberto Chicote. The series, an adaptation of the Gordon Ramsay format, focuses on assisting restaurant owners and staff struggling with chaotic work environments, hygiene issues, and family conflicts.

The season opener is set in the Parque Alcosa neighborhood of Sevilla, where Chicote attempts to revitalize a traditional family tavern called Bodeguita Los 50. The establishment faces significant challenges, including poor leadership from the owner, Chari, and organizational issues caused by the cook, Borja. Additionally, staff members have reported the presence of a supposed ghost named Eustaquio at the location.

Since its debut in 2012, the show has been a staple for La Sexta, frequently exceeding a 10% audience share. Beyond culinary renovations, the program aims to examine the socioeconomic realities faced by small business owners and families in the hospitality industry.
