Plot Synopsis

Richie Notar travels across the United States to encourage restaurateurs at eateries where the staff have reached their breaking point and are ready to walk out on their bosses. In each 60-minute episode of BOSS UNDER FIRE, Notar visits one eating establishment, making the owner perform the employees' jobs as part of the food boss' transformation. Food Network first aired BOSS UNDER FIRE on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at 11pm ET/PT, one week after announcing that the series will have its official series premiere in July 2014. In that April 2014 episode, Notar went to Wicks Brewing Company in Riverside, CA, where Brad Wicks has had some success since he opened the restaurant two years ago, but his brash, crass and over-the-top micromanaging ways has alienated his staff, threatening to bring the whole operation crashing down.
