CHEF RAMSAY ATTEMPTS TO SAVE A BROOKLYN RESTAURANT
ON "KITCHEN NIGHTMARES"
TONIGHT, JANUARY 11, ON FOX

Chef Ramsay heads to Mama Maria's in Brooklyn. This Italian restaurant and pizzeria was passed down from mother to son more than 25 years ago, but has proven to be more of a burden than a family gem. The owner is exhausted from trying to make ends meet for his family, which in turn has taken a toll on the staff, food and overall performance of the restaurant.

Chef Ramsay is disgusted to find 12 freezers filled with rancid and inedible pre-made meals and he reaches his breaking point when one diner needs an ambulance after eating a defrosted piece of seafood. When Chef Ramsay levels with this owner, he leaves him in tears. Find out if Ramsay's push was enough to wake up this owner and save his family and restaurant in the "Mama Maria's" episode of Kitchen Nightmares airing tonight, Jan. 11 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
