In Restaurant: Impossible season 14 episode 2, entitled "Fight at Filomena's," host Robert Irvine travels to Costa Mesa, California to try and help save Filomena's Italian Kitchen and Market. Filomena's has been a staple in the community for over 20 years but has fallen on hard times in recent years, with declining sales and unhappy customers.

When Robert arrives at Filomena's, he immediately senses the tension among the staff and between the owners, Don and Michelle. He quickly learns that there has been a lot of fighting and arguing among the employees, which has led to a lack of teamwork and communication. In addition, the food at Filomena's has become outdated and uninspired, and the decor is in desperate need of an update.

Robert starts by observing a dinner service and is immediately taken aback by the chaos in the kitchen. The cooks are disorganized, the food is inconsistent, and the plates are coming out cold. To make matters worse, Don and Michelle are not communicating with each other or their employees, which is causing even more confusion and frustration.

After speaking with Don and Michelle, Robert learns that they are in a lot of debt and have been struggling to keep the business afloat. They have been relying on their loyal customers to keep them afloat, but even they are starting to see the decline in quality at Filomena's. Robert knows that turning around this restaurant will require more than just fixing the food and decor - he'll need to help Don and Michelle repair their relationship and start working together as a team.

Robert starts by giving the kitchen a complete overhaul, introducing new dishes and updating old ones with fresh ingredients and modern techniques. He also teaches the cooks how to communicate more effectively and work together as a team. In addition, Robert brings in a designer to update the decor of the restaurant, giving it a more modern and inviting feel.

But the real challenge comes when Robert tries to get Don and Michelle to work together. He spends time with each of them individually, helping them to see how their actions are affecting the rest of the staff and the business as a whole. He also puts them through a series of team-building exercises, forcing them to work together and rely on each other.

Despite some initial resistance, Don and Michelle eventually start to see the value in working together. They become more communicative, more supportive of their staff, and more invested in the success of the restaurant. By the end of the episode, Filomena's is transformed into a thriving, happy business with a bright future ahead.

Overall, "Fight at Filomena's" is a classic episode of Restaurant: Impossible that showcases Robert's skills as a chef, businessman, and therapist. By tackling both the food and the interpersonal issues at the restaurant, he's able to help Don and Michelle turn their struggling business into a success.
