NEW ANTONIA LOFASO LED FOOD NETWORK SERIES KITCHEN UNDERCOVER SETS PREMIERE DATE FOR TUESDAY, JULY 28 AT 9 P.M. ET/PT

WHAT: Kitchen Undercover

WHERE/WHEN: Premieres Tuesday, July 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network and will stream the following day on HBO Max(R).

WHO: Kitchen Undercover, a high-stakes, sneak-attack restaurant rescue series, follows chef Antonia Lofaso and sous-chef Nestor Milian as they go undercover to help failing restaurants that are one more bad review away from total collapse. While Antonia watches the drama unfold from a secret command center - monitoring every meltdown, mistake, and questionable choice - Nestor embeds with the staff, stirring the pot and uncovering what is really happening behind the scenes. From toxic team dynamics to tragic food, nothing stays hidden for long. When the truth about why customers aren't coming back is exposed, Antonia steps in to shake things up, calling out the chaos and whipping these teams into shape. With the clock ticking and closure looming, only time will tell if Antonia can turn these hot messes into hot spots.

In the series premiere Antonia and Nestor visit Gritz N' Wafflez, a once-thriving ghost kitchen whose rapid rise led to an expansion that outpaced its foundation. Despite widespread praise for its Southern comfort cuisine, owner Jurni has faced mounting financial pressure and an operation on the brink of collapse. Chef Antonia will step in to lead a high-stakes undercover intervention, deploying trusted sous chef Nestor inside the kitchen to uncover the root causes of the restaurant's decline. What emerges is a volatile environment marked by staff infighting, excessive wait times, and unsanitary conditions - issues that threaten to dismantle everything the business has built. With closure looming, Antonia will take decisive action to restore order - mediating conflicts, revitalizing the team's passion, and implementing critical changes to both operations and culture. In a race against the clock, the transformation will test whether Gritz N' Wafflez can reclaim its identity and survive.

Kitchen Undercover is produced by Bodega Pictures for Food Network.
