S5 E1 • La Galleria 33 (1)

Chef Ramsay goes to Boston's North End to pay a visit to La Galleria 33, opened in 2006 by sisters Rita and Lisa. The two siblings grew up in the Italian neighborhood and worked at their father's very successful restaurant, L'Osteria, which was established in 1985. They branched out and opened their own establishment only 100 feet away, hoping to feed off their father's success. But the customers never came. The sisters blame everything from the weather to the tablecloths to the font on the menu. They don't know how to fix their problems because they don't know how to identify them. The employees, however, know exactly what is wrong - Lisa and Rita. They say the sisters treat people badly and talk unprofessionally. Plus Lisa drinks on the job and Rita smokes in the restaurant. They have slipped into complacency about the failing business, but their parents stand to lose everything if La Galleria fails. When Chef Ramsay arrives, he's confused by the restaurant's name, dated décor and proximity to their parents' eatery. He also discovers there is an issue with smoking and drinking on the job. Lisa and Rita in turn complain to him about the poor service and the lazy employees. As the icing on the cake, Rita admits that the head chef is her ex-husband, which causes a lot of tension.

S5 E2 • La Galleria 33 (2)

In the last episode of "Kitchen Nightmares," Chef Ramsay traveled to Boston's North End to visit La Galleria 33, a restaurant run by sisters Rita and Lisa. He quickly discovered the establishment to be fraught with issues. Rita smokes and Lisa drinks on the job, and their unprofessional behavior has lost them the respect of their staff. The food, which is prepared by Rita's ex-husband Doug, is horrific. Chef Ramsay finds it to be frozen, bland and evidently made without passion. As the dramatic conclusion to the saga begins, Chef Ramsay has a heart-to-heart talk with the siblings, imploring them to strive for excellence. Rita concedes that they have to fix their problems, but Lisa asks to be left alone. The sisters tell Chef Ramsay that the staff doesn't respond to them, and he begs them to stop tiptoeing around the issues. In an attempt to give the proprietors some focus, Chef Ramsay asks them both to make a list of all the things that bother them the most that they want to change. The next morning, he gathers the owners and staff so that the sisters can share their agenda of issues. Rita kicks off the meeting by saying they would like the employees to stop treating La Galleria as if it were a competition to see who can do the least. Most of the workers, except Sarah the waitress, admit to being lazy.
