Monrovia Restaurant's 'Kitchen Nightmares' Episode Airs Friday

The "Kitchen Nightmares" episode featuring local Mediterranean restaurant Sam's Kabob Room will air Friday at 8 p.m., according to the show's website.

Here's the episode description from the "Kitchen Nightmares" site:

Thirty minutes northeast of Los Angeles, in Monrovia, CA, Chef Ramsay finds a restaurant and family in desperate need of a change. Since its opening in 1997, the eatery has driven away both customers and employees with the constant yelling, bland menu choices and bleak, worn-out décor. Now, the only employees left standing are owner Sam's seven children, who are reaching a breaking point after working up to seven days a week with no pay. Aggravated with their father and each other, these siblings beg Ramsay to wake up their father from this living nightmare.
