The arrival of Ariel Rodríguez Palacios to Telefe modified television mornings. The chef became a morning hit and the rating figures he obtains are surprising even on his new channel. “Ariel in her sauce” not only comfortably prevails over the competition, but has even reached the milestone of reaching double digits in audience, something that had not happened since 2013 when, also on the screen of Telefe, Flower of the V was in front of “The Hair”.
chef’s successhowever, is overshadowed by criticism of his behavior towards peersboth in front of and off camera, and that once again bring to the scene accusations from people who worked with him and who had made this situation public when the cook was still working in The nine.
Those outbursts and uncomfortable behaviors for those who work with him were transferred to the screen of phone and, in the less than three months that it has been on the air, it has already generated uncomfortable situations on the air and the need for those involved to go out and clarify that the work climate is good. Thus, the same imprint of Rodriguez Palacios What allows him to be an unquestionable success at the head of his program is the one that generates more than one headache for him due to the accusations against him.

A failed preparation, something not very unusual in the kitchen, was what caused the latest explosion. “I’m hot”, released the cook while kneading a preparation to cook a nougat and did not hesitate to send someone from his team to the front: “Shall I tell you the truth? It’s the only time I didn’t do something. someone else made it for me, it’s the only time I didn’t, and it fails on air. If not, I would have time to be able to solve it before”. While his program partners tried to put cold cloths on the situation, the chef’s anger was undisguised.
“The anger was more about the live situation than at anyone in particular. It is true that what was seen on the screen is an uncomfortable moment, but it did not go beyond that, “he defends it before NEWS someone who knows closely the entrails of the program.
However, it is not the first time that the chef has created a difficult situation with his new team. After the first month on the air, the driver caused a stir by mentioning how the staff that accompanies him had been formed. “The team was surprising. Let’s tell it like it is. They tell you: you are going to be with a girl named Mica. Which? No!”, revealed the driver with total sincerity about Mica Viciconte. Also, he made a comment about Nicolás Peralta: “After Nico, what do you say ‘which one is this?’. And well, then what he touches, he touches”. “He has that style of joking around in that way, which can sometimes be confused,” they tell NOTICIAS.
Success
But although these situations happen on the air, the truth is that the public continues to choose Rodriguez Palacios. When he was in charge of the middays of El Nueve, his audience numbers were good, but when he went to Telefe he became a success. Not only is it imposed in its time slot, but it does so comfortably.
In 2021, Telefe’s bet for the mornings had been a magazine led by Florence Pena that, although sometimes he managed to prevail, he lost in the audience battle against LAM, at that time still on the screen of El Trece. For this 2022, Telefe decided to rearrange its morning programming and it was the chef who emerged as a revelation and success. With a rating that oscillates between 5 and 7 points, “Ariel en su salsa” is the most watched day after day of its strip and it even achieves historical peaks, such as the 11.5 points it achieved on July 25. “There are many cooking programs, but there is something that he does that undoubtedly has a plus for the viewer,” he explains.
Thus, while the program is consolidated on television mornings, both the driver and his panelists make an effort to clarify that there is no short circuit between them. As long as the high audience numbers remain, they will continue to act as a balm and nothing will happen to majors.
