Ep 13. Yanni's

In Kitchen Nightmares season 6 episode 13, Gordon Ramsay visits Yanni's, a Greek restaurant in Seattle, Washington. The restaurant, owned by Peter and Deno, is struggling with terrible food, dismal service, and unprofessional management. Gordon is immediately struck by the grimy appearance and chaotic atmosphere of the kitchen, where Chef Yanni is unable to keep up with orders and is sending out dishes that are bland, overcooked, and unappetizing. The dining room is no better, with customers complaining about long wait times, cold food, and rude servers.

As Gordon delves deeper into the problems at Yanni's, he discovers that there is tension between Peter and Deno, who have different visions for the restaurant's future. Peter is focused on expanding the menu and appealing to a wider audience, while Deno wants to stick to traditional Greek dishes and attract a more niche clientele. This discord is causing disruptions in the kitchen and contributing to the restaurant's overall dysfunction.

Gordon sets out to revamp the menu, introducing fresh ingredients and new dishes that showcase both Greek flavors and modern techniques. He also instructs Yanni on proper food preparation and plating, and insists on a higher standard of cleanliness and organization in the kitchen. In the dining room, Gordon trains the servers on how to be more attentive and personable with customers, and encourages Peter and Deno to work together to create a cohesive vision for the restaurant.

Throughout the episode, tensions flare as Peter and Deno struggle to see eye-to-eye, and Chef Yanni resents Gordon's criticism. However, in the end, the team at Yanni's come together to create a new and improved restaurant that showcases delicious Greek cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.
