Watch Kitchen Undercover

Ricci's has been a Bellflower, Calif., staple since 1941, but its new and inexperienced owner, Edith, is in way over her head. Bland food, declining standards, and a kitchen simmering with tension have put the restaurant's legacy at risk. With no time to spare, Chef Antonia Lofaso sends her trusted sous-chef Nestor Milian undercover to find the root of Ricci's problems. What he finds is a recipe for disaster -- cooks who have lost their passion, questionable ingredients, and Edith's relentless micromanaging of an already stressed-out staff. When the truth is finally served, Antonia must step in to restore order, rebuild confidence, and return Ricci's to its former glory, reminding the team what made the restaurant special in the first place. Then, Ricci's will face the ultimate test: an authentic Italian nonna arriving to judge the food.
