Being a Thursday, Frankie, Lew's longest term employee, can handle managing the restaurant without Harry, but will be unable to do so for the busy Friday and Saturday evening service. Rather than ruin her parent's vacation by calling them back early, Ann decides to take over the administrative duties while she co-opts a reluctant Donald to act as front of house maitre d', which includes to Donald's chagrin table side preparation of Caesar salads, which he doesn't know how to make. Things take a turn for the worse when they learn that Harry will be off for all three night, and that most of the kitchen staff, including the head chef Pierre, come down with the same bug that sidelined Harry. After their attempt to act as combined head chef fail, Ann and Donald call in Lew's old chef Andre, the reason for him being let go which becomes quickly obvious to them and which will prohibit him coming back even temporarily. As such, Donald comes up with what he believes the only solution to get them through the dinner rush while preserving the fine dining reputation of La Parisienne. Written by Huggo See less
