Kitchen Nightmares USA Season 5 Episode 13 Yanni's

In the thirteenth episode of season 5 of Kitchen Nightmares USA, Chef Gordon Ramsay visits Yanni's, a Greek restaurant located in Seattle, Washington. The restaurant has been struggling for years and is on the brink of closure.

Upon arriving at Yanni's, Gordon Ramsay is immediately put off by the decor and lack of cleanliness in the restaurant. He is also unimpressed with the menu, which features a mix of Greek and Italian dishes that are poorly executed. The restaurant's owner, Peter, is also not helping matters. He is stubborn and resistant to change, and is convinced that the restaurant's problems are due to the economy rather than its own shortcomings.

Gordon Ramsay spends time observing the kitchen and dining room operations and identifies a number of areas for improvement. The food is consistently coming out undercooked or overcooked, the kitchen is disorganized and chaotic, and the staff lacks basic culinary skills. In addition, the restaurant's finances are a mess, with no proper financial records kept and bills left unpaid.

Gordon Ramsay quickly gets to work implementing changes at Yanni's. He introduces a revamped menu featuring authentic Greek dishes, and trains the staff on how to properly prepare them. He also reorganizes the kitchen, creating a more efficient layout and setting up systems for food storage and preparation. Additionally, he helps the restaurant's management get its finances in order, providing guidance on budgeting and record-keeping.

Despite the initial resistance from Peter, he eventually begins to buy into Gordon Ramsay's changes. He realizes that the old way of doing things was not working and that the restaurant needed a fresh start. The staff also starts to pull together and work as a team, something that was sorely lacking before.

In the end, Yanni's is transformed into a successful Greek restaurant that is a source of pride for its owners and staff. Gordon Ramsay is impressed with the progress that was made and leaves feeling confident that the restaurant will continue to thrive.
