1
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:15,515
narrator: For over 30 years,
2
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:17,851
Jon Taffer
has traveled the country
3
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:21,488
saving hundreds
of bars from failure and ruin.
4
00:00:21,488 --> 00:00:24,591
The past two years
are unlike anything I've seen
5
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:27,627
in our industry
but we're bouncing back.
6
00:00:27,627 --> 00:00:29,195
The people going out again
7
00:00:29,195 --> 00:00:31,264
and restaurants
need to get ready.
8
00:00:31,264 --> 00:00:34,667
narrator: Now, Jon is faced
with a new set of problems.
9
00:00:34,667 --> 00:00:36,703
There are
supply chain issues.
10
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:39,372
Why are we
out of this shit?
11
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:40,573
Staffing shortages.
12
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:42,175
Every week, we get a new staff,
13
00:00:42,175 --> 00:00:43,643
we have
to crash course them.
14
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,712
And consistent health concerns.
15
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:49,449
We just can't fail.
We just can't.
16
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:52,185
narrator: So now,
John is back out on the road
17
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:53,853
and heading to Atlanta, Georgia
18
00:00:53,853 --> 00:00:55,588
to rescue
The Sandtown Pub.
19
00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:57,791
This is the new era
for our country,
20
00:00:57,791 --> 00:01:02,829
so we need to raise the bar
and rise to these challenges.
21
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:06,132
narrator: In 2017,
after working 40 years
22
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:08,201
in the fast food industry,
23
00:01:08,201 --> 00:01:11,704
Fredericka Jones decided
to fulfill a lifelong dream
24
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:13,840
of opening her own bar
in her hometown
25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,508
of Atlanta, Georgia.
26
00:01:15,508 --> 00:01:17,243
My dad was
the inspiration for me
27
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:18,878
to get into this because
28
00:01:18,878 --> 00:01:21,915
he had a liquor house
that he had for like years
29
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:23,550
and we all had to work there
30
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:25,618
and we loved it.
I did. I loved it.
31
00:01:25,618 --> 00:01:27,320
narrator: Believing
that her decades of work
32
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,788
in the fast food industry
33
00:01:28,788 --> 00:01:30,457
would propel her to success,
34
00:01:30,457 --> 00:01:31,925
Fredericka used her
life savings
35
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,293
to open the bar.
36
00:01:33,293 --> 00:01:34,894
I had to invest my own money.
37
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:36,463
I didn't have a rich relative.
38
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:37,630
I couldn't get a business loan.
39
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:39,232
Me personally I think
40
00:01:39,232 --> 00:01:40,400
when I went to apply
for a loan,
41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,801
I've had some legal issues
42
00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:43,436
in the past and nobody said,
43
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:44,604
"Oh, let me talk to her
and find out
44
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:46,239
what really happened to her."
45
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:47,774
And I just stood there
and they said no
46
00:01:47,774 --> 00:01:49,242
- from the beginning.
narrator: However,
47
00:01:49,242 --> 00:01:51,211
from the start, Sandtown Pub
48
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,580
continuously
struggled to succeed.
49
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:55,248
The bar
business is nothing
50
00:01:55,248 --> 00:01:56,616
like the fast food industry.
51
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:58,318
You have that extra component
52
00:01:58,318 --> 00:01:59,786
when you're dealing
with alcohol.
53
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,855
Set your station up
how you need because that's one
54
00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:03,490
of the problems too,
the bartender say
55
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:04,757
everybody keeps coming
behind the bar,
56
00:02:04,757 --> 00:02:06,292
keeps coming behind the bar.
57
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:07,827
Because I have
no business credit
58
00:02:07,827 --> 00:02:09,429
or anything like that,
59
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:12,398
I had to take
$65,000 out of my 401[k].
60
00:02:12,398 --> 00:02:14,467
narrator: But it wasn't
just the lack of money
61
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:16,970
or broken equipment that was
holding the bar back.
62
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:20,406
Thank you. That's what
I'm talking about, Amber.
63
00:02:20,406 --> 00:02:22,408
We're going to say
it sounds a little disorganized
64
00:02:22,408 --> 00:02:25,745
because it doesn't
exactly have a structure.
65
00:02:25,745 --> 00:02:27,780
I'm like, "Dang,
where the party at?"
66
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:31,217
You know, I've trying to have
a good time at the bar.
67
00:02:31,217 --> 00:02:32,552
Literally, it should be
a sign that says,
68
00:02:32,552 --> 00:02:33,686
"Ms. Jones
is not here."
69
00:02:33,686 --> 00:02:35,588
She's here in the morning time,
70
00:02:35,588 --> 00:02:37,457
but she, kind of,
it's a little bit more hand on.
71
00:02:37,457 --> 00:02:39,526
Slide through
in the evenings.
72
00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:42,962
[upbeat music]
73
00:02:42,962 --> 00:02:45,832
narrator: With an untrained
and undisciplined staff,
74
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:48,001
Fredericka turned
to her daughter Amber
75
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:49,669
to help manage the bar.
76
00:02:49,669 --> 00:02:51,571
Her role
is she's the owner,
77
00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:53,506
I fall right under her
so I guess
78
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:55,742
not technically owner
79
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:58,344
but anything she knows,
I know.
80
00:02:58,344 --> 00:02:59,946
narrator: But Amber's approach
to management
81
00:02:59,946 --> 00:03:02,482
greatly different
from her mom's.
82
00:03:02,482 --> 00:03:03,950
I stay out of Amber way,
83
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:05,652
Ms. Jones' daughter way,
I stay out her way,
84
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:07,854
'cause I got
a short fuse temper
85
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:09,856
because I don't want me
and her to,
86
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,592
you know what I'm saying,
bump heads or anything.
87
00:03:12,592 --> 00:03:16,462
[grunts] What the [bleep]?
We just got in here!
88
00:03:16,462 --> 00:03:18,865
Darryl and Derrick are
definitely the problem children.
89
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:21,568
They get away with more stuff
and that's why I be saying,
90
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:23,603
you know, my mom,
she babies them in a way.
91
00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:25,939
She has these two,
she considers her kids
92
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:27,807
but, you know,
at the end of the day,
93
00:03:27,807 --> 00:03:29,976
these are not her real kids,
these are the employees.
94
00:03:29,976 --> 00:03:31,644
You mean to tell me,
if they go
95
00:03:31,644 --> 00:03:33,580
jump off the bridge,
you're gonna jump off one too?
96
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:35,415
narrator: And now,
the mother-daughter
relationship
97
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:37,050
has become strained.
98
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:40,987
If she could just tone
it down just a little bit,
99
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:42,889
you know,
be a little friendlier,
100
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,857
a little bit nicer to people,
I think we will be
101
00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:46,492
able to go a lot further.
102
00:03:46,492 --> 00:03:47,660
It's either yes or no.
103
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:49,462
I need you to work on it.
104
00:03:49,462 --> 00:03:51,397
- Yes, I will on it.
- Okay. Thank you.
105
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:53,967
I've literally been working
with my mother since birth,
106
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:55,835
it's always boss first,
mother second.
107
00:03:55,835 --> 00:03:57,937
narrator: As a result,
tensions at the bar
108
00:03:57,937 --> 00:04:00,440
have further
caused business to decline.
109
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,809
It kills me when you look up
and look at me.
110
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:05,478
Don't watch me, watch the people
walking in the door,
111
00:04:05,478 --> 00:04:07,080
like what
are you watching me for?
112
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,315
narrator: And now
Fredericka is in debt
113
00:04:09,315 --> 00:04:10,883
over $200,000.
114
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:12,919
If we don't turn
this thing around
115
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:17,023
within the next 60 to 90 days,
we're gonna have some problems.
116
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:19,792
narrator: So before Fredericka
loses her retirement,
117
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:21,461
her daughter, and dream,
118
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:23,529
she has decided
to pull back the doors,
119
00:04:23,529 --> 00:04:25,732
bust open the books,
and make a call for help.
120
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:27,533
To Bar Rescue.
121
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:31,337
If Sandtown Pub
does not succeed, I lose a lot.
122
00:04:31,337 --> 00:04:33,973
I will feel like I would
disappoint so many people
123
00:04:33,973 --> 00:04:35,742
because I always
try to tell people,
124
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:38,578
you know, I'm a great example,
you can make it.
125
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:39,579
So if the bar has to close,
I will be devastated.
126
00:04:47,904 --> 00:04:49,973
- Welcome to Atlanta, buddy.
- Thank you.
127
00:04:49,973 --> 00:04:53,477
narrator: For the kitchen,
Jon brings in Jason Santos.
128
00:04:53,477 --> 00:04:56,880
One of Boston's most creative
and charismatic chefs.
129
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,182
Chef Santos is a published
cook book author,
130
00:04:59,182 --> 00:05:01,017
as well as owner
and operator
131
00:05:01,017 --> 00:05:03,153
of five successful restaurants
132
00:05:03,153 --> 00:05:05,088
in the
Greater New England area.
133
00:05:05,088 --> 00:05:08,825
So, this is the Sandtown Pub.
134
00:05:08,825 --> 00:05:10,394
Sandtown is the name
135
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:12,396
of the shopping center
that this bar was in.
136
00:05:12,396 --> 00:05:14,464
- Don't we got turkey burger?
- I'm about to see right now.
137
00:05:14,464 --> 00:05:17,534
And this bar
was bought by Fredericka.
138
00:05:17,534 --> 00:05:19,269
It might not--
just not be made up
139
00:05:19,269 --> 00:05:20,604
but we should have some.
140
00:05:20,604 --> 00:05:22,239
Her daughter,
141
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:23,940
Amber also works there.
There's Amber.
142
00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:26,176
I just wanted to meet you,
so bad.
143
00:05:26,176 --> 00:05:27,611
That's Tyanna behind the bar.
144
00:05:27,611 --> 00:05:30,614
Above the ground.
Above the ground.
145
00:05:30,614 --> 00:05:33,917
They're losing money
about $6,000 a month or so.
146
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:35,485
- Yikes.
- They only have enough money
147
00:05:35,485 --> 00:05:37,187
to make it another two months,
148
00:05:37,187 --> 00:05:38,455
they're behind
on their rent by two months.
149
00:05:38,455 --> 00:05:40,424
So I mean
they're about to go down.
150
00:05:40,424 --> 00:05:42,859
- [inaudible] at?
- Huh?
151
00:05:42,859 --> 00:05:44,628
We have two cooks
and they're brothers.
152
00:05:44,628 --> 00:05:47,864
There's Derrick
and there's Darryl.
153
00:05:49,366 --> 00:05:51,334
They both have two kids
154
00:05:51,334 --> 00:05:53,603
and Fredericka
really loves them.
155
00:05:53,603 --> 00:05:55,305
Look at the side of the table,
156
00:05:55,305 --> 00:05:57,574
there's grease
in every crevice kitchen.
157
00:05:57,574 --> 00:05:59,976
- Look at the flat top.
- It just builds up
158
00:05:59,976 --> 00:06:01,912
- and gets worse and worse.
- Chef, there's some danger
159
00:06:01,912 --> 00:06:03,613
- in that kitchen for sure.
- There is.
160
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:05,415
Sitting down on his phone.
161
00:06:05,415 --> 00:06:07,017
Clean something.
162
00:06:07,017 --> 00:06:08,118
So for recon,
163
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:09,953
I wanted to get two people
164
00:06:09,953 --> 00:06:11,922
who understood this community
and understand bars.
165
00:06:11,922 --> 00:06:14,057
Well, the WNBA
is big in this town.
166
00:06:14,057 --> 00:06:16,893
So I got Aari and Tianna
167
00:06:16,893 --> 00:06:20,030
- who are two WNBA players.
- Wow.
168
00:06:20,030 --> 00:06:22,466
narrator: Jon's spies
enter Sandtown Pub.
169
00:06:22,466 --> 00:06:24,968
A 3400 square foot space
170
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:27,404
with a single bar well,
a small stage,
171
00:06:27,404 --> 00:06:30,073
and an outdated
kitchen in the rear.
172
00:06:30,073 --> 00:06:32,175
Hey, girls,
grab a seat anywhere,
173
00:06:32,175 --> 00:06:33,910
somebody will come
and take care of you. Okay?
174
00:06:33,910 --> 00:06:35,979
- Thank you.
- All right. So there they are.
175
00:06:35,979 --> 00:06:37,647
What can I get for you
ladies to drink today?
176
00:06:37,647 --> 00:06:39,382
Can I have a mojito please?
177
00:06:39,382 --> 00:06:41,284
We don't have any mint, baby,
no mojitos.
178
00:06:41,284 --> 00:06:44,187
Sheesh, um...
179
00:06:44,187 --> 00:06:46,089
I'll go ahead
and try that bourbon mule.
180
00:06:46,089 --> 00:06:47,491
I guess I'll try
the bourbon mule.
181
00:06:47,491 --> 00:06:48,625
Okay.
182
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:50,327
Um, can I do the vodka lemonade?
183
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:51,695
- Okay.
- Or actually
184
00:06:51,695 --> 00:06:53,263
- [inaudible] water?
- [inaudible] water?
185
00:06:53,263 --> 00:06:54,931
- Yeah. Let me get that.
- Okay. What you got?
186
00:06:54,931 --> 00:06:56,333
- Can we try hot lemon pepper?
- Ranch or Bleu Cheese
187
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:57,367
- [inaudible] French.
- Right.
188
00:06:57,367 --> 00:06:59,002
Okay.
189
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:01,238
Okay. So these guys
are cleaning up a little bit.
190
00:07:01,238 --> 00:07:02,939
You see the sign over that sink?
191
00:07:02,939 --> 00:07:04,541
Can I see the sign
over that sink, please?
192
00:07:04,541 --> 00:07:07,577
What does that sign say?
Veggie Prep Sink.
193
00:07:07,577 --> 00:07:09,379
But what are they prepping?
194
00:07:09,379 --> 00:07:11,414
- It's like a raw chicken.
- All over that sink.
195
00:07:11,414 --> 00:07:13,049
All over that stainless steel.
196
00:07:13,049 --> 00:07:14,718
All over him.
197
00:07:14,718 --> 00:07:16,653
Okay. Now what
is she doing with this drink?
198
00:07:16,653 --> 00:07:19,055
Look at the cleaning supplies,
so she's making a drink
199
00:07:19,055 --> 00:07:21,491
right next
to her cleaning supplies.
200
00:07:21,491 --> 00:07:23,326
Oh, that is--uh-uh.
201
00:07:23,326 --> 00:07:24,961
Oh, no.
202
00:07:24,961 --> 00:07:26,997
- I ain't do [inaudible] that.
- Bugs in her drink.
203
00:07:26,997 --> 00:07:28,365
This is getting worse
by the minute.
204
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:30,100
I remember
asking for some water
205
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,535
and it was
something in it,
206
00:07:31,535 --> 00:07:33,003
it was like
little particles in it,
207
00:07:33,003 --> 00:07:34,738
which is pretty nasty.
208
00:07:34,738 --> 00:07:37,574
Okay. So that knife is now
cooking a raw chicken breast,
209
00:07:37,574 --> 00:07:40,410
we don't know
where that knife has been.
210
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:43,046
Now the chicken's dripping
on the other cutting board.
211
00:07:44,114 --> 00:07:45,448
Whoa.
212
00:07:45,448 --> 00:07:47,150
Doesn't clean
the cutting board.
213
00:07:48,985 --> 00:07:50,220
My God.
214
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:51,621
Raw chicken
is like poison
215
00:07:51,621 --> 00:07:53,323
and this guy is just
spreading poison
216
00:07:53,323 --> 00:07:54,391
all over this kitchen.
217
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,026
I hope she put it in
218
00:07:56,026 --> 00:07:57,727
because I'm hungry,
I mean... [laughs]
219
00:07:57,727 --> 00:07:59,596
I ain't never really seen
a couple of them before.
220
00:07:59,596 --> 00:08:02,265
I ain't never--I ain't seen
a couple of them before.
221
00:08:02,265 --> 00:08:04,100
You seen them before?
222
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,502
I think like
they're from the show.
223
00:08:05,502 --> 00:08:07,604
[laughter]
224
00:08:07,604 --> 00:08:09,406
I got to say we can let
this food go out, Jason.
225
00:08:09,406 --> 00:08:11,541
I say we go in.
I'll go find Fredericka.
226
00:08:11,541 --> 00:08:13,143
You go ahead in the kitchen.
Right away.
227
00:08:13,143 --> 00:08:14,644
- Got it.
- Let's call them out.
228
00:08:14,644 --> 00:08:17,113
Inspect what's wrong
and remind these guys
229
00:08:17,113 --> 00:08:19,516
that they can get people sick
with how they're cooking.
230
00:08:19,516 --> 00:08:21,084
And I'll get in there
with Fredericka,
231
00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:22,252
and I'll meet you
in the kitchen.
232
00:08:22,252 --> 00:08:23,286
Got it.
233
00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:26,456
Now, I'm, you be [inaudible]
234
00:08:26,456 --> 00:08:27,958
[laughter]
235
00:08:32,128 --> 00:08:34,230
Where's Fredericka?
236
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:35,632
There you are.
237
00:08:35,632 --> 00:08:37,467
Here I am.
238
00:08:37,467 --> 00:08:39,302
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you also.
239
00:08:39,302 --> 00:08:41,805
- I hear you're in a jam.
- We are.
240
00:08:41,805 --> 00:08:45,475
If we don't turn things
around in about 90 days,
241
00:08:45,475 --> 00:08:48,078
- we'll close the doors.
- You're done?
242
00:08:48,078 --> 00:08:50,046
So I got to tell you.
I just sent my chef back there.
243
00:08:50,046 --> 00:08:51,147
- Uh-hmm.
- Because they're gonna kill
244
00:08:51,147 --> 00:08:52,549
somebody back there.
245
00:08:52,549 --> 00:08:54,384
They got raw chicken juice
all over that kitchen,
246
00:08:54,384 --> 00:08:55,719
do you know that?
247
00:08:55,719 --> 00:08:57,320
- Hi, guys.
- How are you doing?
248
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,556
Hi, hey. I'm Jon's expert.
249
00:08:59,556 --> 00:09:01,391
You know, we were
just watching--
250
00:09:01,391 --> 00:09:04,060
I, I, I've never [bleep]
seen a kitchen this dirty
251
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:06,196
in my entire life.
Why are you guys smiling?
252
00:09:06,196 --> 00:09:08,465
- Why you not?
- Look how dirty this is.
253
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:10,200
- What's dirty?
- What's dirty?
254
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,435
Are you kidding me?
What's dirty?
255
00:09:12,435 --> 00:09:14,070
You're sitting on your phone
256
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:15,772
and you guys
can't wipe something down?
257
00:09:15,772 --> 00:09:17,340
- Look at this.
- Ain't that
258
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:19,109
- what you're here for?
- Yeah, but you have
259
00:09:19,109 --> 00:09:21,111
to know better, man.
This is not about being a chef,
260
00:09:21,111 --> 00:09:23,246
this is like common sense.
Like, look at that.
261
00:09:23,246 --> 00:09:25,548
- Do you think that's clean?
- I did never say it was.
262
00:09:25,548 --> 00:09:27,517
So you guys are okay
with how dirty this kitchen is?
263
00:09:27,517 --> 00:09:29,219
You're okay
with a yellow cutting board?
264
00:09:29,219 --> 00:09:30,820
Well, first of all,
don't come up in here
265
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:32,622
trying to yell at me
disrespecting me on nothing.
266
00:09:32,622 --> 00:09:33,823
I'm not disrespecting you.
This place is dirty, man.
267
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:35,358
Yeah, you
is disrespecting me, bro.
268
00:09:35,358 --> 00:09:36,660
Don't come up in here
disrespecting me, bro.
269
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,161
Bro, you could've came up
in here and say,
270
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:39,496
"Hey, look at this,
look at this, bro."
271
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:41,164
Don't come up
in here disrespecting me, bro.
272
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:42,499
- Let me rephrase it.
- I don't--yeah, rephrase it.
273
00:09:42,499 --> 00:09:44,234
- Rephrase it.
- Okay. So why are you guys--
274
00:09:44,234 --> 00:09:45,835
Aight, that's all you had
to say, bro.
275
00:09:45,835 --> 00:09:48,571
What just...
276
00:09:48,571 --> 00:09:51,207
We better get back there
and see what's going on.
277
00:09:51,207 --> 00:09:52,442
- Filthy kitchen.
- All right. Then,
278
00:09:52,442 --> 00:09:53,777
- isn't that what you here for?
- Yes.
279
00:09:53,777 --> 00:09:55,378
Aight then. Come on now,
280
00:09:55,378 --> 00:09:56,813
don't come up here
and disrespect, bro.
281
00:09:56,813 --> 00:09:58,314
- Then I'll disrespect.
- I don't care who it is.
282
00:09:58,314 --> 00:09:59,616
- Then I'll disrespect.
- I don't care.
283
00:09:59,616 --> 00:10:01,184
I don't care about none of that.
What's up?
284
00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:02,485
- You're gonna get somebody--
- I don't care
285
00:10:02,485 --> 00:10:03,687
- about none of that, bro.
- Listen to me.
286
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:05,255
- Shut up and listen.
- No, you shut
287
00:10:05,255 --> 00:10:06,356
the [bleep] up, bro.
Don't tell me to shut up,
288
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:07,757
- I'm a grown ass man.
- Okay.
289
00:10:07,757 --> 00:10:09,626
So she's gonna lose
her business,
290
00:10:09,626 --> 00:10:11,394
you want me to walk out of here?
291
00:10:11,394 --> 00:10:12,896
- You wanna stick it to her?
- I don't give a [bleep], bro.
292
00:10:12,896 --> 00:10:15,765
He don't give a [bleep],
does he? Does he?
293
00:10:15,765 --> 00:10:17,867
If you gave a [bleep]
this wouldn't be happening.
294
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:19,536
Man, I don't give
a [bleep], bro.
295
00:10:19,536 --> 00:10:21,204
Ain't that what the [bleep]
you here for?
296
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:22,439
Is this the way
your brother always is?
297
00:10:22,439 --> 00:10:23,740
Is he always
an asshole like this?
298
00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:25,375
- Are you an asshole?
- Come on, man.
299
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:26,576
- Really?
- Don't disrespect me.
300
00:10:26,576 --> 00:10:28,645
I'm not the one [bleep] up,
you are.
301
00:10:28,645 --> 00:10:30,246
Don't disrespect me, bro.
302
00:10:30,246 --> 00:10:32,115
This man's going off.
303
00:10:34,184 --> 00:10:35,518
- Calm down.
- Nah, bro.
304
00:10:35,518 --> 00:10:37,220
No, I don't play

305
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:38,521

00:10:38,521 --> 00:10:40,557

00:10:48,598 --> 00:10:50,834
That's what I'm saying, y'all

312
00:10:50,834 --> 00:10:52,435
Why you don't wanna listen

313
00:10:52,435 --> 00:10:54,204
This man is here to help.

If that man going sit up here

319
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:06,683
We need [bleep] help.
320
00:11:06,683 --> 00:11:08,451
Ain't nobody got time

321
00:11:08,451 --> 00:11:10,553
- Pull back in.
- No. He's not gonna come in
322
00:11:10,553 --> 00:11:12,355
and disrespect me, Ms. Jones.
I don't care
323
00:11:12,355 --> 00:11:13,857
about none of that [bleep] shit!
324
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:16,826
I just wanted my wings.
325
00:11:19,568 --> 00:11:21,303
[inaudible chatter]
326
00:11:21,303 --> 00:11:23,238
Ms. Jones,
I don't know what happened.
327
00:11:23,238 --> 00:11:26,575
You know Derrick
is a hothead.
328
00:11:26,575 --> 00:11:28,643
- Hello, ladies.
- Hi. How are you?
329
00:11:28,643 --> 00:11:30,979
Well, we're not
gonna let you eat here
330
00:11:30,979 --> 00:11:33,648
because if you eat here,
I think you'd get sick.
331
00:11:33,648 --> 00:11:36,218
So honestly if anybody's
ordered any food here,
332
00:11:36,218 --> 00:11:38,186
I wouldn't eat tonight.
333
00:11:38,186 --> 00:11:40,956
Yeah, I'm not being difficult
but there's cross-contamination,
334
00:11:40,956 --> 00:11:42,891
there's raw chicken
all over that kitchen.
335
00:11:42,891 --> 00:11:45,026
And I'm scared
somebody's gonna get sick,
336
00:11:45,026 --> 00:11:47,129
so we're asking them
not to serve any food tonight.
337
00:11:47,129 --> 00:11:49,664
But if there's a 10% chance
you're gonna get sick
338
00:11:49,664 --> 00:11:51,500
by eating it, then
we shouldn't eat, you agree?
339
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,135
- Yeah.
- So, please don't eat,
340
00:11:53,135 --> 00:11:54,569
enjoy your drinks.
I will clean up this kitchen.
341
00:11:54,569 --> 00:11:56,171
- It needs it, doesn't it?
- Yes, sir.
342
00:11:56,171 --> 00:11:57,639
I'm sorry you guys
don't get to eat.
343
00:11:57,639 --> 00:11:59,174
- Thank you for being here.
- Thank you.
344
00:11:59,174 --> 00:12:02,077
Let's get out of here.
Thank you.
345
00:12:02,077 --> 00:12:04,045
- Derrick just got to learn.
- Yes, ma'am.
346
00:12:04,045 --> 00:12:05,614
I'm very disappointed.
347
00:12:05,614 --> 00:12:07,282
Things are gonna get
a little heated
348
00:12:07,282 --> 00:12:09,484
but don't get too heated
to where, you know,
349
00:12:09,484 --> 00:12:11,920
I mean it was almost
a knock out drag out in here.
350
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,622
I don't even know
what to say this time.
351
00:12:15,690 --> 00:12:17,225
[upbeat music]
352
00:12:22,998 --> 00:12:24,332
Hey, y'all.
353
00:12:24,332 --> 00:12:26,668
What a night,
like for real.
354
00:12:26,668 --> 00:12:29,137
If last night
showed me anything,
355
00:12:29,137 --> 00:12:30,572
it showed me that Fredericka
356
00:12:30,572 --> 00:12:32,574
is not in control
with her business at all.
357
00:12:32,574 --> 00:12:34,342
It needed to happen.
Honestly,
358
00:12:34,342 --> 00:12:36,411
maybe this is just going
towards the right path
359
00:12:36,411 --> 00:12:37,712
of what we got to do.
360
00:12:37,712 --> 00:12:40,382
What I saw
was completely improper.
361
00:12:40,382 --> 00:12:42,551
So I wanna go in today.
I got to meet
362
00:12:42,551 --> 00:12:45,153
with Fredericka and Amber first.
363
00:12:45,153 --> 00:12:47,155
I wanna talk
to just the two of them
364
00:12:47,155 --> 00:12:49,090
and try to understand
what's going on.
365
00:12:49,090 --> 00:12:51,693
How can a cook
who is so irresponsible
366
00:12:51,693 --> 00:12:53,395
still be working here?
367
00:12:53,395 --> 00:12:54,629
Well, that's what we do,
368
00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:56,398
we argue
but then we still family.
369
00:12:56,398 --> 00:12:58,233
- We still, you know.
- Love each other.
370
00:12:58,233 --> 00:12:59,468
A long time.
371
00:12:59,468 --> 00:13:01,369
[laughter]
372
00:13:01,369 --> 00:13:03,572
[inaudible chatter]
373
00:13:03,572 --> 00:13:05,273
- Hello.
- Good afternoon.
374
00:13:05,273 --> 00:13:07,142
- Hey, how you doing?
- Hello.
375
00:13:07,142 --> 00:13:09,311
- Can I speak to you and Amber?
- Sure.
376
00:13:09,311 --> 00:13:10,378
For a couple minutes
by ourselves?
377
00:13:10,378 --> 00:13:11,546
Sure.
378
00:13:11,546 --> 00:13:13,315
[sighs] You know, Derrick,
379
00:13:13,315 --> 00:13:15,016
he is a wildcard.
380
00:13:15,016 --> 00:13:16,651
We need to be quiet, dude.
381
00:13:20,288 --> 00:13:22,123
What the hell happened
last night?
382
00:13:22,123 --> 00:13:24,059
Apparently,
383
00:13:24,059 --> 00:13:26,361
the way the guy came in,
Derrick had an issue with that.
384
00:13:26,361 --> 00:13:28,063
The way he was speaking to him
and saying stuff to him--
385
00:13:28,063 --> 00:13:29,998
So he had an issue?
386
00:13:29,998 --> 00:13:31,700
Gee, that's unfortunate,
isn't it?
387
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:33,435
- It's very unfortunate.
- So the man
388
00:13:33,435 --> 00:13:35,303
is putting raw chicken
on the same cutting board
389
00:13:35,303 --> 00:13:37,005
he's slicing a tomato on,
390
00:13:37,005 --> 00:13:39,074
he's not washing his hands.
391
00:13:39,074 --> 00:13:40,709
He's dredging chicken in flour
392
00:13:40,709 --> 00:13:42,544
that has raw chicken juice
in it.
393
00:13:42,544 --> 00:13:45,514
God knows for how many days
it's not refrigerated.
394
00:13:45,514 --> 00:13:48,016
Completely disrespectful
to your future.
395
00:13:49,217 --> 00:13:51,620
But he was annoyed.
396
00:13:53,088 --> 00:13:54,723
How come
you haven't been annoyed
397
00:13:54,723 --> 00:13:57,025
- for the past months over him--
- I've been very annoyed.
398
00:13:57,025 --> 00:13:59,361
- Are you his mom or his boss?
- I'm his boss.
399
00:13:59,361 --> 00:14:01,029
Doesn't seem that way,
does it, Amber?
400
00:14:01,029 --> 00:14:02,564
I am. I'm his boss.
401
00:14:02,564 --> 00:14:04,666
How much more time do you have
before this place closes?
402
00:14:04,666 --> 00:14:06,434
About 90 days.
Sixty to ninety days.
403
00:14:06,434 --> 00:14:09,037
Okay, 90 days.
So if ever you were honest
404
00:14:09,037 --> 00:14:12,707
with your mother, Amber,
this is the time.
405
00:14:12,707 --> 00:14:15,677
So let's lay it out there
because I see your mother
406
00:14:15,677 --> 00:14:19,247
running a charity
more than a business here.
407
00:14:19,247 --> 00:14:21,249
I know this is hard
for you but Amber,
408
00:14:21,249 --> 00:14:22,617
I'm here
to help you and your mom.
409
00:14:22,617 --> 00:14:23,818
I wanna make a difference.
410
00:14:23,818 --> 00:14:25,720
I don't wanna scream at people.
411
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,023
So, have we had problems
with these cooks in the past?
412
00:14:30,058 --> 00:14:31,626
- Yes.
- What kind of problems?
413
00:14:31,626 --> 00:14:35,830
Just I feel like trying
to give them criticism
414
00:14:35,830 --> 00:14:38,266
like, you know, we can give them
constructive criticism,
415
00:14:38,266 --> 00:14:40,735
but they won't take it
and use it.
416
00:14:40,735 --> 00:14:42,671
And if you don't
change something,
417
00:14:42,671 --> 00:14:44,639
- what's gonna happen?
- We're gonna fail.
418
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:47,142
We're gonna end up
closing the business.
419
00:14:47,142 --> 00:14:49,277
Well, something
has to change today.
420
00:14:49,277 --> 00:14:51,146
I'm gonna lay it out there.
421
00:14:51,146 --> 00:14:53,081
You need to step up now
422
00:14:53,081 --> 00:14:55,317
and show me and show her
423
00:14:55,317 --> 00:14:57,085
that things
are gonna be different.
424
00:14:57,085 --> 00:14:58,353
And I'll give you some time
to deal with this.
425
00:14:58,353 --> 00:14:59,588
I'll come in
and let's have a whole team
426
00:14:59,588 --> 00:15:00,822
- meeting and figure this out.
- Okay.
427
00:15:00,822 --> 00:15:03,224
Okay. Go do what you got to do.
428
00:15:03,224 --> 00:15:04,659
- Derrick.
- I'm telling you
429
00:15:04,659 --> 00:15:06,461
this whole conversation
was about me.
430
00:15:06,461 --> 00:15:09,164
Yeah.
431
00:15:09,164 --> 00:15:11,833
So listen,
I need the business to grow.
432
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:13,368
I really do.
433
00:15:13,368 --> 00:15:17,205
And you know I love you to death
434
00:15:17,205 --> 00:15:20,875
but I have to let you go, okay?
435
00:15:20,875 --> 00:15:23,845
Um, thank you
for everything.
436
00:15:23,845 --> 00:15:25,413
Get me out of here.
437
00:15:30,118 --> 00:15:31,252
Damn.
438
00:15:36,524 --> 00:15:39,661
So, are we one less
of a cook or...
439
00:15:41,730 --> 00:15:43,698
- We are.
- Really?
440
00:15:43,698 --> 00:15:44,833
Yes, we are.
441
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:47,535
So, what happened?
442
00:15:52,273 --> 00:15:54,142
What'd she say?
443
00:15:54,142 --> 00:15:55,310
She said what she said.
444
00:15:58,313 --> 00:16:00,348
- How do you feel?
- I'm good.
445
00:16:02,717 --> 00:16:04,386
We need help.
446
00:16:04,386 --> 00:16:06,454
But if we can't recognize
that we need help,
447
00:16:06,454 --> 00:16:08,323
then we're just gonna be stuck.
448
00:16:08,323 --> 00:16:09,457
And I'm not trying
to do that.
449
00:16:09,457 --> 00:16:10,759
I'm not trying to be stuck.
450
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:12,460
- Can we all talk?
all: Yeah.
451
00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:14,329
All right. Come on, everybody.
Let's do it.
452
00:16:14,329 --> 00:16:16,264
- Hi.
- Hey.
453
00:16:16,264 --> 00:16:19,167
I don't come here
to fight with people, guys.
454
00:16:19,167 --> 00:16:20,635
You know, I want you
to know, this is over
455
00:16:20,635 --> 00:16:22,237
200 Bar Rescues I've done.
456
00:16:22,237 --> 00:16:24,239
I've rescued thousands of bars
457
00:16:24,239 --> 00:16:25,674
and restaurants
around the world.
458
00:16:25,674 --> 00:16:27,842
And when I hear
of a woman of pride,
459
00:16:27,842 --> 00:16:29,678
and I walk in and I see that
in the wall and I say,
460
00:16:29,678 --> 00:16:31,746
"Okay, that's pride
right there."
461
00:16:31,746 --> 00:16:33,948
Pride in community,
pride in yourself.
462
00:16:33,948 --> 00:16:36,451
Right? Pride in what we do.
463
00:16:36,451 --> 00:16:38,620
So, I come here last night,
464
00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:41,289
and I'm seeing
this woman sinking.
465
00:16:41,289 --> 00:16:42,724
How much money
you losing a month?
466
00:16:42,724 --> 00:16:44,492
- I want them to know.
- About $25,000.
467
00:16:44,492 --> 00:16:46,528
$25,000 a month.
468
00:16:46,528 --> 00:16:49,564
- How far in debt are you?
- Uh, $225,000.
469
00:16:49,564 --> 00:16:51,700
$225,000.
470
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:53,902
And how much more time
do we have based
471
00:16:53,902 --> 00:16:56,237
on the money you have now,
Fredericka?
472
00:16:56,237 --> 00:16:57,972
- Uh, about 90 days.
- About 90 days.
473
00:16:57,972 --> 00:17:00,942
Uh, I didn't know
about her debt.
474
00:17:00,942 --> 00:17:03,278
The debt, I didn't know.
You know what I'm saying?
475
00:17:03,278 --> 00:17:05,313
What goes to my mind,
I don't know what I'd do.
476
00:17:05,313 --> 00:17:07,615
You know what I'm saying?
So, obviously that just make
477
00:17:07,615 --> 00:17:09,684
the pressure even higher.
You know what I'm saying?
478
00:17:09,684 --> 00:17:13,555
What's wrong with this place?
Why are we losing money?
479
00:17:13,555 --> 00:17:15,523
And if there's anything
that has to happen here,
480
00:17:15,523 --> 00:17:17,292
is Fredericka needs to hear
the truth, right, guys?
481
00:17:17,292 --> 00:17:18,693
all: Yes.
- Because we got to change
482
00:17:18,693 --> 00:17:20,361
what we're doing
to turn this around.
483
00:17:20,361 --> 00:17:22,330
So, what do you
think's wrong, Amber?
484
00:17:22,330 --> 00:17:23,965
Yeah, I think the food is great
when it gets out.
485
00:17:23,965 --> 00:17:25,700
So, definitely the timing,
486
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,402
it needs to be
a little bit better.
487
00:17:27,402 --> 00:17:29,437
There's a thing
called Sandtown Slow.
488
00:17:29,437 --> 00:17:31,272
Some of the regulars
that made that up
489
00:17:31,272 --> 00:17:33,641
where when the kitchen
comes out a little too late.
490
00:17:33,641 --> 00:17:35,710
Sandtown Slow.
491
00:17:35,710 --> 00:17:37,512
Kitchen perspective,
492
00:17:37,512 --> 00:17:38,713
what do you think's
wrong with the place?
493
00:17:40,515 --> 00:17:43,718
Other than that and the folks.
494
00:17:43,718 --> 00:17:46,020
I don't know. Every time
I, I feel like just, you know,
495
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:49,023
cleaning and all that.
But me and my brother
496
00:17:49,023 --> 00:17:50,625
worked so good together.
497
00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:52,393
Now, he gone already.
498
00:17:52,393 --> 00:17:53,895
And that's--
he never act like that.
499
00:17:53,895 --> 00:17:55,897
And I...
500
00:17:55,897 --> 00:17:58,533
So, he never--
don't leave, buddy.
501
00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:01,035
Don't leave, man.
Do you wanna go after him?
502
00:18:01,035 --> 00:18:02,737
He's a good guy.
503
00:18:02,737 --> 00:18:04,572
I don't wanna see him
walking out of here.
504
00:18:04,572 --> 00:18:06,474
He's very emotional
when it comes to his brother,
505
00:18:06,474 --> 00:18:08,443
- so he ain't leaving.
- Okay. Well, go talk with him.
506
00:18:08,443 --> 00:18:09,744
And that's my whole thing.
507
00:18:09,744 --> 00:18:11,479
Like, I feel
like so what?
508
00:18:11,479 --> 00:18:13,348
Like, I don't care
that he was yelling.
509
00:18:13,348 --> 00:18:15,049
- So, he's facing it.
- This man is coming into here
510
00:18:15,049 --> 00:18:16,684
to help all of us.
511
00:18:16,684 --> 00:18:18,753
A pro is coming in to help us.
512
00:18:18,753 --> 00:18:21,322
We really got to take
some constructive criticism
513
00:18:21,322 --> 00:18:23,358
because if something happens
to this lady right now,
514
00:18:23,358 --> 00:18:25,293
she--God forbid,
she dropped dead right now.
515
00:18:27,328 --> 00:18:29,464
Come on.
I know you're emotional.
516
00:18:29,464 --> 00:18:31,332
Come on. Come on.
Come on, let's walk.
517
00:18:31,332 --> 00:18:32,767
Come on. Come on.
518
00:18:32,767 --> 00:18:34,769
I know you're emotional.
Calm down.
519
00:18:34,769 --> 00:18:35,770
[Darryl sniffles]
520
00:18:38,701 --> 00:18:39,836
Calm down.
521
00:18:47,076 --> 00:18:48,678
[sobbing]
Man, my brother
522
00:18:48,678 --> 00:18:50,113
never act like that
on one thing,
523
00:18:50,113 --> 00:18:51,280
they gonna try to make him quit.
524
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,949
Okay. Come on. Come on.
525
00:18:52,949 --> 00:18:54,083
- I'm trying to be respectful.
- I know.
526
00:18:54,083 --> 00:18:55,885
I don't even wanna talk to him.
527
00:18:55,885 --> 00:18:57,787
Darryl, I want to you to have
a conversation with him, okay?
528
00:18:57,787 --> 00:18:59,288
Can you do that for me?
529
00:18:59,288 --> 00:19:01,758
Darryl, listen to me.
530
00:19:01,758 --> 00:19:03,092
Just calm down.
531
00:19:03,092 --> 00:19:04,360
I'll fix it.
532
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,295
Or you gonna be scared
to go in a kitchen
533
00:19:06,295 --> 00:19:08,231
and then never sell the burger
in the first place
534
00:19:08,231 --> 00:19:09,832
because you know
it's gonna be a problem?
535
00:19:09,832 --> 00:19:11,267
These are big issues.
536
00:19:11,267 --> 00:19:13,136
- What happened?
- Darryl wants to have
537
00:19:13,136 --> 00:19:14,971
a conversation
with you one on one.
538
00:19:14,971 --> 00:19:16,973
- Okay.
- Um, he's very upset
539
00:19:16,973 --> 00:19:18,341
about his brother.
They're very close.
540
00:19:18,341 --> 00:19:20,109
They're damn near like twins,
541
00:19:20,109 --> 00:19:21,978
but he wants to have
a one on one conversation.
542
00:19:21,978 --> 00:19:23,279
And then, I'll come back
and talk to you guys, okay?
543
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:24,714
- Hopefully with him.
- Okay.
544
00:19:26,182 --> 00:19:27,250
Okay. Where are they?
545
00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:32,922
Are they walking away from me?
546
00:19:32,922 --> 00:19:34,390
If they want me to talk to him,
I'll talk to him.
547
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:35,892
I'm not gonna chase him.
548
00:19:36,926 --> 00:19:38,294
They coming back?
549
00:19:41,297 --> 00:19:43,132
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.
550
00:19:43,132 --> 00:19:45,101
So, we have no kitchen staff.
551
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:49,906
Well, they apparently
walked away but, you know,
552
00:19:49,906 --> 00:19:51,774
uh, I can't have
your future based
553
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:53,943
upon whether they come back
or not, right?
554
00:19:53,943 --> 00:19:55,378
So, we have
to fix this together.
555
00:19:55,378 --> 00:19:57,880
- We do.
- Okay. We're gonna figure out
556
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,715
your kitchen situation.
557
00:19:59,715 --> 00:20:01,217
But in the meantime,
you guys ready to go to work?
558
00:20:01,217 --> 00:20:02,819
all: Yes.
- All right. I'm gonna bring
559
00:20:02,819 --> 00:20:04,220
my experts in,
come on in, everybody.
560
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:05,254
Absolutely.
561
00:20:08,224 --> 00:20:10,293
- Man, good to see you.
- Chantel, nice to see you.
562
00:20:10,293 --> 00:20:13,996
Chantel Anderson
is a great mixologist.
563
00:20:13,996 --> 00:20:17,266
narrator: For the bar,
Jon brings in Chantel Anderson.
564
00:20:17,266 --> 00:20:19,235
As an owner
and lead mixologist
565
00:20:19,235 --> 00:20:22,205
of one of America's lead bar
training programs,
566
00:20:22,205 --> 00:20:25,107
Chantel has worked with current
and aspiring bartenders,
567
00:20:25,107 --> 00:20:28,244
helping them to create simple
yet innovative cocktails.
568
00:20:28,244 --> 00:20:30,913
I can't say enough
about Jason Santos.
569
00:20:30,913 --> 00:20:32,381
He and I are good friends.
We've been doing
570
00:20:32,381 --> 00:20:33,850
this together nine, ten years.
571
00:20:33,850 --> 00:20:34,984
Yeah, a long time.
572
00:20:34,984 --> 00:20:36,786
Okay. Are we ready to do it?
573
00:20:36,786 --> 00:20:37,920
all: We're ready.
- All right. Let's go to it.
574
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,988
Thanks, everybody.
575
00:20:38,988 --> 00:20:40,456
Um, you know,
576
00:20:40,456 --> 00:20:42,291
I'm a little--
I'm a little disappointed
577
00:20:42,291 --> 00:20:44,760
in Derrick and Darryl.
And I hate that Darryl left.
578
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,463
Um, I'm trying to call him,
see if we can get him back in,
579
00:20:47,463 --> 00:20:50,066
you know, but if not,
we're gonna move on with plan B.
580
00:20:50,066 --> 00:20:52,235
All right. I'm excited
making new drinks.
581
00:20:54,036 --> 00:20:55,271
- Hi, ladies.
- Hi.
582
00:20:55,271 --> 00:20:56,772
- Hey.
- How are you today?
583
00:20:56,772 --> 00:20:58,741
From what I was told by Jon,
584
00:20:58,741 --> 00:21:00,843
last night
was a complete disaster.
585
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:03,312
A lot of bickering
back and forth,
586
00:21:03,312 --> 00:21:04,981
a lot of yelling,
a lot of screaming
587
00:21:04,981 --> 00:21:07,049
and a lot of uneasy situations.
588
00:21:07,049 --> 00:21:09,051
So today,
I will be introducing
589
00:21:09,051 --> 00:21:13,089
a couple of cocktails to enhance
the drinking experience.
590
00:21:13,089 --> 00:21:15,224
Starting off
with the Southern Hurricane,
591
00:21:15,224 --> 00:21:16,826
a well-balanced cocktail,
592
00:21:16,826 --> 00:21:18,895
something that your customers
would appreciate.
593
00:21:18,895 --> 00:21:20,396
We are going to build this.
594
00:21:20,396 --> 00:21:22,298
In a mixing glass,
add an ounce and a half
595
00:21:22,298 --> 00:21:23,833
of passion fruit syrup,
596
00:21:23,833 --> 00:21:26,202
ounce and a half
of orange juice,
597
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,870
ounce of lime juice.
598
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:29,305
One ounce of light rum
599
00:21:29,305 --> 00:21:31,274
and one ounce of dark rum.
600
00:21:31,274 --> 00:21:32,508
I'm going to do a dry shake.
601
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:35,311
[upbeat music]
602
00:21:38,814 --> 00:21:40,950
Garnish with a orange slice.
603
00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:43,252
And here you have
your Southern Hurricane.
604
00:21:44,253 --> 00:21:45,421
Yes.
605
00:21:45,421 --> 00:21:48,090
[slurping]
606
00:21:48,090 --> 00:21:49,825
- Okay.
- It's good.
607
00:21:49,825 --> 00:21:52,128
That is good.
608
00:21:52,128 --> 00:21:53,863
All right.
So, the stress test tonight,
609
00:21:53,863 --> 00:21:55,464
you guys will be
under a lot of pressure
610
00:21:55,464 --> 00:21:57,400
but I will be here.
I will be coaching you guys.
611
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,101
Learning the new drinks
is great.
612
00:21:59,101 --> 00:22:00,903
They are definitely
well-balanced.
613
00:22:00,903 --> 00:22:03,439
They all have a good
sweet and sour taste to 'em
614
00:22:03,439 --> 00:22:05,841
but I'm definitely
a bit nervous about making
615
00:22:05,841 --> 00:22:07,376
three new cocktails
this evening.
616
00:22:07,376 --> 00:22:10,179
[upbeat music]
617
00:22:19,488 --> 00:22:21,357
- How are you?
- We're good, Jason.
618
00:22:21,357 --> 00:22:23,092
Let's, uh, if we could just do
a formal introduction.
619
00:22:23,092 --> 00:22:25,494
It's been kind
of a crazy 24 hours, uh,
620
00:22:25,494 --> 00:22:27,263
just so we can start off
on the right foot.
621
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:28,798
How you doing?
My name, Darryl.
622
00:22:28,798 --> 00:22:30,132
- Darryl.
- Darryl, and you're--
623
00:22:30,132 --> 00:22:31,867
obviously,
I saw you last night.
624
00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:33,402
- [laughs]
- Ms. Jones,
she called me back.
625
00:22:33,402 --> 00:22:35,538
She asked me if I wanna
come back and I told her, yeah.
626
00:22:35,538 --> 00:22:37,273
You know what I'm saying?
Me and my brother are different.
627
00:22:37,273 --> 00:22:38,975
I understand
we're, you doing this
628
00:22:38,975 --> 00:22:40,876
for Mama Jones
and, you know,
629
00:22:40,876 --> 00:22:42,378
I, I love Ms. Jones.
630
00:22:42,378 --> 00:22:44,213
You know what I'm saying?
Like, like I said,
631
00:22:44,213 --> 00:22:46,115
Ms. Jones is like family to me.
632
00:22:46,115 --> 00:22:47,483
Because, you know,
I'm like family to her.
633
00:22:47,483 --> 00:22:49,385
I'm loyal to her.
She always look out for me.
634
00:22:49,385 --> 00:22:51,220
So, I'm gonna push you guys
only to be better
635
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:52,555
than you were yesterday.
636
00:22:52,555 --> 00:22:54,023
And tomorrow
we're gonna push you
637
00:22:54,023 --> 00:22:55,391
to be better than
you were today.
638
00:22:55,391 --> 00:22:56,592
I think the fact
that Darryl came back
639
00:22:56,592 --> 00:22:58,260
speaks volumes
of his personality,
640
00:22:58,260 --> 00:23:00,029
his ambition, his work ethic.
641
00:23:00,029 --> 00:23:01,163
I'm happy to see him.
642
00:23:01,163 --> 00:23:02,331
So, tonight's stress test,
643
00:23:02,331 --> 00:23:04,000
we're gonna give you one dish
644
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,868
and I'm going to make sure
it's awesome.
645
00:23:05,868 --> 00:23:08,004
So, I have my chicken
and I'm gonna fry four pieces
646
00:23:08,004 --> 00:23:09,472
because I want you guys
to try both
647
00:23:09,472 --> 00:23:13,309
the white barbecue
and the Nashville hot.
648
00:23:13,309 --> 00:23:15,911
50/50 flour and masa.
649
00:23:15,911 --> 00:23:19,115
Drop these in the fryer,
add the French fries.
650
00:23:19,115 --> 00:23:21,050
Little bit of kosher salt,
some black pepper.
651
00:23:21,050 --> 00:23:23,552
Shredded Asiago cheese,
some chopped parsley,
652
00:23:23,552 --> 00:23:25,888
some garlic.
653
00:23:25,888 --> 00:23:27,323
Chicken comes out of the fryer.
654
00:23:27,323 --> 00:23:29,859
Coat both sides
with Nashville spice.
655
00:23:29,859 --> 00:23:31,894
And you have a choice
of a white barbecue sauce,
656
00:23:31,894 --> 00:23:33,462
mayonnaise,
brown sugar, horseradish,
657
00:23:33,462 --> 00:23:35,431
Worcestershire or Nashville hot.
658
00:23:35,431 --> 00:23:37,333
You like it spicy or you don't.
659
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:40,336
And now, we have
two beautiful portions
660
00:23:40,336 --> 00:23:43,372
of fried chicken
that was simple to make.
661
00:23:43,372 --> 00:23:46,575
Delicious and something
visually stunning
662
00:23:46,575 --> 00:23:48,944
that you guys are not going
to find at the store.
663
00:23:48,944 --> 00:23:50,179
- Come on. Yes.
- So Jason. Quick question,
664
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:51,313
do you make your own sauces?
665
00:23:51,313 --> 00:23:52,648
Every single sauce.
666
00:23:52,648 --> 00:23:54,083
- Really?
- Every single sauce.
667
00:23:54,083 --> 00:23:55,251
And you do all this
in house--
668
00:23:55,251 --> 00:23:56,886
- in house?
- Every single sauce.
669
00:23:56,886 --> 00:23:58,287
Or you have a company
that does it and produce it?
670
00:23:58,287 --> 00:23:59,955
No. I make every single thing
in my restaurant.
671
00:23:59,955 --> 00:24:01,891
The sauces
I have for you tonight.
672
00:24:01,891 --> 00:24:03,325
- Interesting. Okay. Cool.
- We've--I've made today, so--
673
00:24:03,325 --> 00:24:05,027
So, get in here and take a bite.
674
00:24:05,027 --> 00:24:07,063
And I'm dying to see
what you guys think.
675
00:24:07,063 --> 00:24:08,397
That's the bite right there.
676
00:24:08,397 --> 00:24:11,100
I think it's spicy-spicy.
677
00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:13,035
- That thing good.
- Did you close your eyes?
678
00:24:13,035 --> 00:24:15,905
[laughs]
He's daydreaming about it.
679
00:24:15,905 --> 00:24:18,040
Man, that white barbecue sauce
680
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,909
is something I ain't never
even had before, man.
681
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:21,677
And it's homemade.
I ain't never had nothing
682
00:24:21,677 --> 00:24:23,612
homemade barbecue sauce before.
683
00:24:23,612 --> 00:24:25,481
You can go outside
and put this on the bumper
684
00:24:25,481 --> 00:24:27,516
of your van and eat it.
That's how good it is, okay?
685
00:24:27,516 --> 00:24:30,152
So, I took a bite into that,
that thing was so juicy.
686
00:24:32,121 --> 00:24:34,190
- You think we can do that?
- So, let's get set up
687
00:24:34,190 --> 00:24:36,325
and I wanna see
your best manner.
688
00:24:36,325 --> 00:24:38,060
And we got off
to a wrong foot last night,
689
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:39,628
hopefully we're
in the right direction.
690
00:24:39,628 --> 00:24:41,330
You're a good dude.
I'm here to help, remember that.
691
00:24:41,330 --> 00:24:42,998
Let's get going,
stress test tonight.
692
00:24:42,998 --> 00:24:44,967
- Let's go and head out.
- Thank you, Jason.
693
00:24:46,168 --> 00:24:48,504
Hey, guys, come on in.
694
00:24:48,504 --> 00:24:50,272
[upbeat music]
695
00:24:50,272 --> 00:24:52,708
Hey, welcome, welcome, welcome.
696
00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:55,177
- Hi.
- Good evening, everybody.
697
00:24:55,177 --> 00:24:56,612
How you guys doing today?
698
00:24:56,612 --> 00:24:58,347
Look, we're working
on two new dishes.
699
00:24:58,347 --> 00:24:59,982
- You'll like it, okay?
- All right.
700
00:24:59,982 --> 00:25:01,550
All right.
Hey guys, welcome, welcome.
701
00:25:01,550 --> 00:25:03,185
Let me have
this Southern Hurricane,
702
00:25:03,185 --> 00:25:04,553
- the Breonna Taylor.
- Okay.
703
00:25:04,553 --> 00:25:06,122
And that was
Nashville hot, right?
704
00:25:06,122 --> 00:25:07,223
Yes, please.
705
00:25:07,223 --> 00:25:08,290
Anything for you, love?
706
00:25:08,290 --> 00:25:09,692
She's already taken mine.
707
00:25:09,692 --> 00:25:11,360
She already got you?
All right, babe.
708
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,462
I'm gonna put your orders in.
709
00:25:13,462 --> 00:25:15,231
- Counter, okay.
- All right. Here we go.
710
00:25:18,033 --> 00:25:19,735
The first order.
What's the very first order
711
00:25:19,735 --> 00:25:21,103
- with the time on it?
- It's the signature,
712
00:25:21,103 --> 00:25:23,372
fries,
and Nashville hot chicken.
713
00:25:23,372 --> 00:25:24,740
It's not--this is yours.
714
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:26,342
One of the tickets
is on the floor.
715
00:25:26,342 --> 00:25:28,144
I need you to kind
of like talk to me
716
00:25:28,144 --> 00:25:29,545
because this
is kind of confusing me
717
00:25:29,545 --> 00:25:31,313
and it's rather
irritating.
718
00:25:31,313 --> 00:25:32,481
How many tickets have you got?
719
00:25:32,481 --> 00:25:33,716
There's five tickets in
720
00:25:33,716 --> 00:25:35,117
but there's got to be
a better system.
721
00:25:35,117 --> 00:25:36,118
They're just
kind of running around.
722
00:25:36,118 --> 00:25:37,319
Nothing's really getting done.
723
00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:39,221
Sorry.
724
00:25:39,221 --> 00:25:41,657
- A little bit more.
- Okay. Who's got drinks?
725
00:25:41,657 --> 00:25:45,594
Not you, not you,
not you, not you, not you.
726
00:25:45,594 --> 00:25:47,163
You're sitting
right in front of her,
727
00:25:47,163 --> 00:25:48,464
you still
don't have a drink yet.
728
00:25:48,464 --> 00:25:50,399
So, who got those drinks
that were up here?
729
00:25:50,399 --> 00:25:52,001
- They got dumped.
- They got dumped.
730
00:25:52,001 --> 00:25:55,237
Oh, so close yet so far.
731
00:25:55,237 --> 00:25:57,640
Come on. You got to move fast
and I need them dropped.
732
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,375
You got to get them dropped.
733
00:25:59,375 --> 00:26:00,543
That the issue.
You don't have nothing
734
00:26:00,543 --> 00:26:02,178
dropped back here.
735
00:26:02,178 --> 00:26:04,346
You're moving slow as shit, bro.
736
00:26:04,346 --> 00:26:08,384
Got all these orders taken
but nothing's dropped.
737
00:26:08,384 --> 00:26:09,718
Where are
the chicken tenders at?
738
00:26:09,718 --> 00:26:11,220
There's just no system.
739
00:26:11,220 --> 00:26:13,088
They're just running over
each other.
740
00:26:13,088 --> 00:26:14,557
- Are you happy with that?
- Uh, it looks good to me.
741
00:26:14,557 --> 00:26:16,125
It looks good to me too.
742
00:26:16,125 --> 00:26:17,493
The only problem with this,
743
00:26:20,229 --> 00:26:21,730
very raw chicken.
744
00:26:23,499 --> 00:26:25,367
[bleep].
745
00:26:25,367 --> 00:26:27,503
Look, man, it's only a mistake
if it hits the guest.
746
00:26:27,503 --> 00:26:29,238
We caught it
so it's not a mistake.
747
00:26:29,238 --> 00:26:31,607
- Keep your cool, man.
- [inaudible chatter]
748
00:26:31,607 --> 00:26:33,509
Shake, smile. Smile.
749
00:26:33,509 --> 00:26:35,511
- No!
- I forgot. Right.
750
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:39,315
- Oh.
- That about sums it up.
751
00:26:39,315 --> 00:26:41,283
It's got raw chicken.
We got burgers up
752
00:26:41,283 --> 00:26:43,152
that are five tickets ahead.
753
00:26:43,152 --> 00:26:44,253
There's no cohesiveness.
754
00:26:44,253 --> 00:26:45,621
There's no communication.
755
00:26:45,621 --> 00:26:47,656
There's just no system.
There's no leadership.
756
00:26:47,656 --> 00:26:49,525
Sorry, that's way too
[inaudible].
757
00:26:49,525 --> 00:26:52,161
Try it again.
758
00:26:52,161 --> 00:26:53,529
- How is that?
- This is, like, um,
759
00:26:53,529 --> 00:26:55,431
dry in the middle.
760
00:26:55,431 --> 00:26:58,167
- It's not juicy enough.
- No, it looks pretty dry to me.
761
00:26:58,167 --> 00:26:59,635
- A little overcooked, right?
- Yeah.
762
00:26:59,635 --> 00:27:00,769
How's that drink?
763
00:27:00,769 --> 00:27:02,338
- Sweet.
- Sweet?
764
00:27:02,338 --> 00:27:03,572
Very sweet.
765
00:27:03,572 --> 00:27:05,140
So, you wouldn't
have another one?
766
00:27:05,140 --> 00:27:06,508
No.
767
00:27:06,508 --> 00:27:09,578
Too shook. I'm sorry.
768
00:27:09,578 --> 00:27:12,081
They're dumping the drinks out,
y'all, okay? Just hold on.
769
00:27:12,081 --> 00:27:14,550
Okay. Fredericka, there's food
ready to go out here.
770
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:16,285
Yeah. Yeah.
Just help me with [inaudible]
771
00:27:16,285 --> 00:27:17,686
Let's get this food out.
772
00:27:17,686 --> 00:27:19,288
I asked you talk to me
on what should we do next.
773
00:27:19,288 --> 00:27:21,590
Make sure [inaudible]
silverware, please.
774
00:27:21,590 --> 00:27:23,425
All right, Fredericka,
make sure they have
775
00:27:23,425 --> 00:27:24,560
- napkins and silverware.
- I'm asking you to talk to me.
776
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,195
That's what you're not doing.
777
00:27:26,195 --> 00:27:27,863
I didn't even say nothing
to you, like I just said
778
00:27:27,863 --> 00:27:30,566
I just need you to talk, you're
not saying anything. Talk.
779
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:32,401
Whatever. You [inaudible]
in the kitchen.
780
00:27:32,401 --> 00:27:33,402
Amber, go down there.
Amber, go down there.
781
00:27:37,169 --> 00:27:39,171
I didn't even say nothing
to you, like I just said
782
00:27:39,171 --> 00:27:41,507
I just need you to talk, you're
not saying anything. Talk.
783
00:27:41,507 --> 00:27:43,342
Whatever. You [inaudible]
in the kitchen.
784
00:27:43,342 --> 00:27:46,345
Amber, go down there.
Amber, go down there.
785
00:27:46,345 --> 00:27:47,847
Lamar, go run the [inaudible]
786
00:27:47,847 --> 00:27:49,615
There's a lot of tension
in this kitchen.
787
00:27:49,615 --> 00:27:51,250
It's busy. These guys
haven't cooked like this before.
788
00:27:51,250 --> 00:27:52,852
It's some new food.
I get it.
789
00:27:52,852 --> 00:27:54,820
But someone's got
to take control of this ship.
790
00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:56,889
So, you've been sitting here,
what, 25 minutes?
791
00:27:56,889 --> 00:27:58,457
- At least.
- At least.
792
00:27:58,457 --> 00:27:59,825
Thing is, I'm a regular here.
793
00:27:59,825 --> 00:28:01,293
You're--and they're still
ignoring you?
794
00:28:01,293 --> 00:28:02,762
Still, still doing me like this.
795
00:28:02,762 --> 00:28:05,531
Yeah. So kitchen
has crashed completely,
796
00:28:05,531 --> 00:28:07,833
the bar has crashed.
We can't get drinks out.
797
00:28:07,833 --> 00:28:09,602
This poor guy has been
waiting a half hour
798
00:28:09,602 --> 00:28:11,704
for his drinks, can't get it.
799
00:28:11,704 --> 00:28:13,572
Fact is the stress
test is a failure.
800
00:28:15,307 --> 00:28:17,676
- Let's try it again.
- That's what I'ma do.
801
00:28:17,676 --> 00:28:19,578
- We failed out here.
- We did.
802
00:28:19,578 --> 00:28:21,547
And they know that. These guys
still don't have drinks.
803
00:28:21,547 --> 00:28:23,482
- Yes.
- So, I'm gonna shut us down,
804
00:28:23,482 --> 00:28:24,917
- so we can go to work.
- Okay.
805
00:28:24,917 --> 00:28:26,452
Okay? We have
to do better than this,
806
00:28:26,452 --> 00:28:27,586
- do you agree?
- I do.
807
00:28:27,586 --> 00:28:29,288
Come back in two days,
everybody.
808
00:28:29,288 --> 00:28:31,624
We'll have the kitchen organized
and this bar organized.
809
00:28:31,624 --> 00:28:33,793
And we'll have a drink
that isn't too sweet, okay?
810
00:28:33,793 --> 00:28:35,761
I think tonight is horrible.
811
00:28:35,761 --> 00:28:37,496
I mean, if we don't
get it together,
812
00:28:37,496 --> 00:28:40,366
I mean, what's the use?
It's just--it's, it's horrible.
813
00:28:40,366 --> 00:28:42,768
I feel like
we've been through a war.
814
00:28:42,768 --> 00:28:44,537
Complete failure. Disappointing.
815
00:28:44,537 --> 00:28:47,239
Question is, can we turn
this around in a day?
816
00:28:47,239 --> 00:28:49,408
I believe we can.
They need a lot of work though.
817
00:28:49,408 --> 00:28:51,377
Yeah. The kitchen
was even worse than the bar.
818
00:28:51,377 --> 00:28:53,779
I mean, it was one of the worst
meltdowns I've ever seen.
819
00:28:53,779 --> 00:28:55,848
Yeah. You know
what's interesting, though,
820
00:28:55,848 --> 00:28:57,416
is when you look
at this community,
821
00:28:57,416 --> 00:29:00,219
it's about 63% married.
822
00:29:00,219 --> 00:29:03,289
We go to a lot of places
that are 52% married
823
00:29:03,289 --> 00:29:04,757
and look
at all those bedrooms.
824
00:29:04,757 --> 00:29:07,226
This is a residential community,
825
00:29:07,226 --> 00:29:09,428
and only one other bar
in this area.
826
00:29:09,428 --> 00:29:11,797
So what do you see us
doing back there?
827
00:29:11,797 --> 00:29:13,432
I mean, I think we stick
with the chicken theme
828
00:29:13,432 --> 00:29:15,501
and we just fix the product,
we fix the process,
829
00:29:15,501 --> 00:29:17,837
put things in place and elevate
what they already have.
830
00:29:17,837 --> 00:29:19,939
Yeah. What do you see
for the bar program?
831
00:29:19,939 --> 00:29:22,408
Oh, definitely nothing
too complicated with the staff,
832
00:29:22,408 --> 00:29:25,678
but some twist on some classic
southern cocktails,
833
00:29:25,678 --> 00:29:27,346
something to, you know,
mend very well
834
00:29:27,346 --> 00:29:28,814
- with the chicken theme.
- Yeah, I'm with you.
835
00:29:28,814 --> 00:29:30,916
So with the nice southern
base cocktail program
836
00:29:30,916 --> 00:29:33,853
with some familiar flavors
done in great ways,
837
00:29:33,853 --> 00:29:35,754
a great chicken program
that protects them
838
00:29:35,754 --> 00:29:37,389
- from raw chicken.
- Yup.
839
00:29:37,389 --> 00:29:39,291
And I think we got
a concept that starts to work.
840
00:29:39,291 --> 00:29:40,893
- Agreed.
- And something that Fredericka
841
00:29:40,893 --> 00:29:42,661
- can get excited about.
- Definitely.
842
00:29:42,661 --> 00:29:44,363
All right.
We got a bar menu to do.
843
00:29:44,363 --> 00:29:45,798
- Let's do it.
- We got a food menu to do.
844
00:29:45,798 --> 00:29:47,867
- We do. All right.
- Let's go do it.
845
00:29:51,337 --> 00:29:53,339
[upbeat music]
846
00:29:58,244 --> 00:29:59,812
Hello, hello, hello, ladies.
847
00:29:59,812 --> 00:30:01,947
- Hello.
- How are you today?
848
00:30:01,947 --> 00:30:04,950
Last night felt
like a whole shit show.
849
00:30:04,950 --> 00:30:07,419
Like, I was too overwhelmed.
850
00:30:07,419 --> 00:30:08,921
I was too anxious.
851
00:30:08,921 --> 00:30:10,589
- [laughs]
- Definitely froze.
852
00:30:10,589 --> 00:30:11,657
I feel like
we should have communicated
853
00:30:11,657 --> 00:30:12,658
a little bit better.
854
00:30:12,658 --> 00:30:13,926
I actually totally agree.
855
00:30:13,926 --> 00:30:15,494
I think a lot
of your overwhelming came
856
00:30:15,494 --> 00:30:17,296
from your proper
pour counts and being
857
00:30:17,296 --> 00:30:18,998
able to properly
build the cocktail.
858
00:30:18,998 --> 00:30:20,666
No worries,
we're gonna work on that.
859
00:30:20,666 --> 00:30:22,401
So today, we're gonna
round out the menu
860
00:30:22,401 --> 00:30:23,869
with two new cocktails
861
00:30:23,869 --> 00:30:26,438
and the first cocktail
will be The Rosa.
862
00:30:26,438 --> 00:30:27,606
When you first see
this cocktail,
863
00:30:27,606 --> 00:30:28,807
it's something that will gain
864
00:30:28,807 --> 00:30:31,377
the attention of your customers.
865
00:30:31,377 --> 00:30:34,880
Add two ounces of lemonade,
a half an ounce of agave,
866
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,752
a half an ounce blue curacao,
1.5 ounces of vodka.
867
00:30:39,752 --> 00:30:42,288
[upbeat music]
868
00:30:43,856 --> 00:30:46,792
Garnish this with cotton candy.
869
00:30:46,792 --> 00:30:48,928
There you have The Rosa.
870
00:30:49,895 --> 00:30:51,030
What do you think?
871
00:30:51,030 --> 00:30:52,631
Oh, yeah, it's definitely good.
872
00:30:52,631 --> 00:30:54,333
All right, guys.
So I'm gonna have you come back
873
00:30:54,333 --> 00:30:55,734
and we're gonna try
out the first cocktail.
874
00:30:55,734 --> 00:30:57,570
- Woo-hoo!
- I think everyone did
875
00:30:57,570 --> 00:30:58,704
pretty good in bartending today.
876
00:30:58,704 --> 00:31:00,439
One, two, that's it.
877
00:31:00,439 --> 00:31:02,775
We definitely got,
you know, some more practice in.
878
00:31:02,775 --> 00:31:06,645
One, two, three,
uh-uh, keep going.
879
00:31:06,645 --> 00:31:08,747
Four, five, six,
seven, eight. Stop.
880
00:31:08,747 --> 00:31:10,683
I know I definitely
seen how Amber V
881
00:31:10,683 --> 00:31:12,551
was practicing,
she's heavy with the hand.
882
00:31:12,551 --> 00:31:14,353
Pull. Okay.
883
00:31:14,353 --> 00:31:16,455
I feel pretty
confident going in with those.
884
00:31:16,455 --> 00:31:21,660
Uh, so stress test
was definitely stressful.
885
00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:24,663
I definitely saw some glimpses
of greatness last night,
886
00:31:24,663 --> 00:31:27,466
but we have a lot to work on.
I want you guys to be psyched
887
00:31:27,466 --> 00:31:30,002
about what you're doing
and have lots of pride in it.
888
00:31:30,002 --> 00:31:32,004
So with that said,
first dish we're gonna to do,
889
00:31:32,004 --> 00:31:33,772
it's a great bar appetizer.
890
00:31:33,772 --> 00:31:35,874
And the reason being
is it's gonna incite you
891
00:31:35,874 --> 00:31:37,610
to get a drink,
you're gonna wanna have a drink,
892
00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:38,711
and we're trying
to come up with dishes
893
00:31:38,711 --> 00:31:40,379
that are more economical.
894
00:31:40,379 --> 00:31:42,414
So we're gonna do
a buttermilk fried pickle.
895
00:31:42,414 --> 00:31:43,816
So I'm gonna take these pickles,
896
00:31:43,816 --> 00:31:45,484
and I'm just gonna
coat them gently,
897
00:31:45,484 --> 00:31:47,319
drop these pickles in.
898
00:31:49,121 --> 00:31:50,956
We got this
bloody Mary spice,
899
00:31:50,956 --> 00:31:52,825
season it,
give it a little toss.
900
00:31:52,825 --> 00:31:54,460
Buttermilk fried pickle
901
00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:58,063
with homemade horseradish
ranch dressing.
902
00:31:58,063 --> 00:32:00,833
Yesterday, like I said,
stress test was wild.
903
00:32:00,833 --> 00:32:02,768
But, you know,
right now, it was great.
904
00:32:02,768 --> 00:32:04,737
Come on with these sauces,
Jason, come on!
905
00:32:04,737 --> 00:32:06,505
It's good, right?
906
00:32:06,505 --> 00:32:08,641
This whole process
has been a little challenge,
907
00:32:08,641 --> 00:32:10,442
but I'm ready.
I'm ready.
908
00:32:10,442 --> 00:32:12,978
I've grown a lot since
learning from Chef Santos.
909
00:32:12,978 --> 00:32:14,546
[dramatic music]
910
00:32:17,116 --> 00:32:19,018
After last night, I'm worried,
911
00:32:19,018 --> 00:32:20,552
but I see potential.
912
00:32:20,552 --> 00:32:22,087
- Hello.
- Hi.
913
00:32:22,087 --> 00:32:23,789
- Jon, how are you?
- Hi.
914
00:32:23,789 --> 00:32:25,924
I see a real opportunity
for Amber to step up
915
00:32:25,924 --> 00:32:28,794
and really help
her mother be successful.
916
00:32:28,794 --> 00:32:31,964
I also wanna talk about
Amber having more responsibility
917
00:32:31,964 --> 00:32:33,866
to help Fredericka go forward.
918
00:32:33,866 --> 00:32:35,668
What did you think
of last night?
919
00:32:35,668 --> 00:32:40,005
Last night was
a little bit of everywhere.
920
00:32:40,005 --> 00:32:42,675
- A mess?
- Yes, a mess.
921
00:32:42,675 --> 00:32:44,677
How many years have you guys
been doing this together?
922
00:32:44,677 --> 00:32:46,078
- Eight.
- Would you think
923
00:32:46,078 --> 00:32:48,180
after eight years,
it should be a mess like that?
924
00:32:48,180 --> 00:32:49,815
No, not at all.
925
00:32:49,815 --> 00:32:51,450
We should have
somebody expediting,
926
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:52,584
managing the orders,
they should be
927
00:32:52,584 --> 00:32:54,153
going out a table at a time.
928
00:32:54,153 --> 00:32:56,455
- And you know that.
- I do.
929
00:32:58,490 --> 00:33:00,192
You deserve success.
930
00:33:00,192 --> 00:33:01,660
I have a lot of respect for you.
931
00:33:01,660 --> 00:33:02,928
Thank you.
932
00:33:02,928 --> 00:33:04,730
How charitable you are
and how she wants
933
00:33:04,730 --> 00:33:07,933
to take care of everybody
and she won't fire anyone.
934
00:33:07,933 --> 00:33:11,103
I want you to understand
if you make money in that bar,
935
00:33:11,103 --> 00:33:13,138
you can take care of anyone.
936
00:33:13,138 --> 00:33:15,974
You don't make money
in that bar and it closes,
937
00:33:15,974 --> 00:33:19,611
you're not gonna be able
to take care of anyone.
938
00:33:19,611 --> 00:33:21,180
So do you need
a little more authority
939
00:33:21,180 --> 00:33:23,215
in the bar to back
her up a little bit?
940
00:33:23,215 --> 00:33:24,850
Would that be helpful?
941
00:33:24,850 --> 00:33:26,685
Maybe, just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
942
00:33:26,685 --> 00:33:28,620
Okay. Think about
the things that she can do
943
00:33:28,620 --> 00:33:31,557
to help you, if you say to her,
you know what, the bar is yours.
944
00:33:31,557 --> 00:33:33,826
I want the cleanliness,
the drinks, the recipes,
945
00:33:33,826 --> 00:33:35,461
the speed, the standards,
946
00:33:35,461 --> 00:33:37,496
you manage
the standards in the bar.
947
00:33:37,496 --> 00:33:39,231
You'll take
that responsibility, won't you?
948
00:33:39,231 --> 00:33:40,866
- I will.
- Then you can focus
949
00:33:40,866 --> 00:33:42,701
on the kitchen
for the next few weeks.
950
00:33:42,701 --> 00:33:44,670
I'm setting up everything I can
951
00:33:44,670 --> 00:33:46,939
to make your work better,
to make the bar more efficient,
952
00:33:46,939 --> 00:33:48,207
to have all
the systems in place.
953
00:33:48,207 --> 00:33:49,742
Okay.
954
00:33:49,742 --> 00:33:51,577
So if you guys
split up this way,
955
00:33:51,577 --> 00:33:54,079
I'm giving you the tools
to make that bar perfect.
956
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:55,948
And to get
that kitchen just right.
957
00:33:55,948 --> 00:33:57,583
- Okay.
- Does that sounds like a plan?
958
00:33:57,583 --> 00:33:59,151
- It does. Yes.
- Okay.
959
00:33:59,151 --> 00:34:02,488
After the week,
I think that I am so confident
960
00:34:02,488 --> 00:34:04,523
with Amber taking over
and making things happen.
961
00:34:04,523 --> 00:34:07,126
Okay. And I'll see you
tomorrow with a brand new bar.
962
00:34:07,126 --> 00:34:08,927
Thanks, Jon.
I appreciate it.
963
00:34:08,927 --> 00:34:10,095
Thank you.
964
00:34:10,095 --> 00:34:13,565
[upbeat music]
965
00:34:20,506 --> 00:34:22,074
[crowd cheering and applauding]
966
00:34:22,074 --> 00:34:23,609
- Hello.
- Hi.
967
00:34:23,609 --> 00:34:25,511
- Hi.
- Hey.
968
00:34:25,511 --> 00:34:28,881
So I wanna start
with you, buddy,
969
00:34:28,881 --> 00:34:30,182
'cause you and I started rough.
970
00:34:30,182 --> 00:34:32,117
What do you think of this week?
971
00:34:32,117 --> 00:34:33,986
It had been a rough week.
It was good though.
972
00:34:33,986 --> 00:34:36,188
We've been cool, this whole week
we've been straight.
973
00:34:36,188 --> 00:34:37,956
- It's all good now, right?
- Yes, sir.
974
00:34:37,956 --> 00:34:39,625
That's what this was all about.
975
00:34:39,625 --> 00:34:41,960
Fredericka, what do you think
of your team first?
976
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,996
I love them so much.
And I'm so glad
977
00:34:43,996 --> 00:34:46,031
that everybody came together
978
00:34:46,031 --> 00:34:49,835
and started working as a team
and we just made it happen.
979
00:34:49,835 --> 00:34:51,103
Yeah.
980
00:34:51,103 --> 00:34:52,938
Who was your dad?
981
00:34:52,938 --> 00:34:54,640
- John Jones.
- John Jones.
982
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,843
- Uh-hmm.
- Well, when I named this bar
983
00:34:57,843 --> 00:34:59,978
and came up with this concept,
984
00:34:59,978 --> 00:35:04,316
I didn't only think of you,
I thought of your dad too.
985
00:35:04,316 --> 00:35:07,186
Because I want this to mean
something to you, Fredericka.
986
00:35:07,186 --> 00:35:09,855
And Amber,
wait 'till you see what I built.
987
00:35:09,855 --> 00:35:11,757
Are you ready?
988
00:35:11,757 --> 00:35:14,159
Okay. In the count of three,
let's turn around.
989
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:16,695
[suspenseful music]
990
00:35:16,695 --> 00:35:19,298
One, two, three.

[crowd cheering and applauding]
993
00:35:33,409 --> 00:35:37,012
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
994
00:35:39,415 --> 00:35:41,217
JJ's, what's happening?
995
00:35:41,217 --> 00:35:42,618
Amber, don't cry.
996
00:35:42,618 --> 00:35:44,153
It's JJ's now.
997
00:35:44,153 --> 00:35:45,654
Who's JJ?
998
00:35:47,189 --> 00:35:49,125
- My granddad.
- Grandfather.
999
00:35:49,125 --> 00:35:50,993
I wanted when you walked
through that door
1000
00:35:50,993 --> 00:35:53,229
for it to mean
more than it ever has.
1001
00:35:56,465 --> 00:35:59,168
Well, take a look.
You have an identity now,
1002
00:35:59,168 --> 00:36:00,903
a chicken bar.
1003
00:36:02,371 --> 00:36:04,006
There's only one thing
left is there?
1004
00:36:04,006 --> 00:36:05,341
- Let's walk in.
- You guys ready
1005
00:36:05,341 --> 00:36:06,542
- to go in and see it?
- Walk in.
1006
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:08,277
Okay. Go ahead.
1007
00:36:08,277 --> 00:36:10,246
[upbeat music]
1008
00:36:10,246 --> 00:36:12,581
Wow!
1009
00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:16,519
Look at the hall.
1010
00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:20,189
Oh, my God!
1011
00:36:20,189 --> 00:36:22,725
Oh, my God.
1012
00:36:22,725 --> 00:36:25,428
[inaudible]
1013
00:36:28,564 --> 00:36:31,000
Wow!
1014
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,570
Oh, my God!
1015
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:37,039
Look at the air dryer.
1016
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:38,541
Oh, my God, y'all.
1017
00:36:38,541 --> 00:36:41,577
Oh, y'all got down,
I love it here.
1018
00:36:41,577 --> 00:36:44,447
- Oh, my God!
- Y'all got the ice machine.
1019
00:36:44,447 --> 00:36:47,016
- [inaudible chatter]
- Ice machine!
1020
00:36:51,353 --> 00:36:53,122
Yes! Yes! Yes!
1021
00:36:53,122 --> 00:36:54,690
Oh, my God!
1022
00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:56,158
How did I do?
1023
00:36:58,260 --> 00:37:00,062
When I walked in,
the wall and just,
1024
00:37:00,062 --> 00:37:01,730
just the decor,
it was just so different
1025
00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:03,365
because, you know,
it's been that way
1026
00:37:03,365 --> 00:37:05,301
for eight years,
so now I'm like,
1027
00:37:05,301 --> 00:37:07,136
oh, my God,
this is a huge change.
1028
00:37:07,136 --> 00:37:09,271
It just looks like
a totally different restaurant.
1029
00:37:09,271 --> 00:37:10,539
I got a lot to show you, guys,
1030
00:37:10,539 --> 00:37:11,674
so come over sit at the bar.
1031
00:37:11,674 --> 00:37:13,108
I wanna show you everything.
1032
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:14,677
First of all, I got PathSpot
1033
00:37:14,677 --> 00:37:16,312
to give your hand scanner.
1034
00:37:16,312 --> 00:37:19,281
Then I got you guys Partender.
1035
00:37:19,281 --> 00:37:23,385
Partender does inventory
behind the bar
1036
00:37:23,385 --> 00:37:26,388
in 10 minutes with your finger.
It's unbelievable.
1037
00:37:26,388 --> 00:37:28,791
I got your Harbortouch
POS Systems
1038
00:37:28,791 --> 00:37:33,195
and I got Intuitive AV
to come in and hang the TVs,
1039
00:37:33,195 --> 00:37:36,265
redo the sound system, make sure
all the sound is right.
1040
00:37:36,265 --> 00:37:38,501
You got your brand new
Manitowoc ice machine,
1041
00:37:38,501 --> 00:37:40,769
- did you see it back there?
- Yes.
1042
00:37:40,769 --> 00:37:42,771
Then, my favorite.
1043
00:37:42,771 --> 00:37:45,374
I have a dear friend
named Jason Hulfish.
1044
00:37:45,374 --> 00:37:50,112
And Jason Hulfish
is a craft carpenter artist
1045
00:37:50,112 --> 00:37:53,849
and he created this
for me by hand.
1046
00:37:53,849 --> 00:37:56,452
There's nothing like this
any place else in the world.
1047
00:37:56,452 --> 00:37:57,753
I'm not done yet, guys.
1048
00:37:57,753 --> 00:37:59,088
- Darryl.
- [laughter]
1049
00:37:59,088 --> 00:38:00,322
I'm proud to give you this, man.
1050
00:38:00,322 --> 00:38:01,857
[all cheering and applauding]
1051
00:38:01,857 --> 00:38:03,626
Oh, come on, Darryl.
You gotta [inaudible]
1052
00:38:03,626 --> 00:38:06,595
Come on back here.
Come on back.
1053
00:38:06,595 --> 00:38:08,764
- Hold that in front of you.
- You know what I'm saying?
1054
00:38:08,764 --> 00:38:10,866
Yeah! Yeah!
1055
00:38:10,866 --> 00:38:13,636
Oh, yeah,
I love this right here.
1056
00:38:13,636 --> 00:38:15,437
- Thank you, man.
- Pride. Pride, man.
1057
00:38:15,437 --> 00:38:17,306
It's all about pride.
1058
00:38:17,306 --> 00:38:20,175
When we have pride,
everything changes, does it?
1059
00:38:20,175 --> 00:38:21,577
- Yeah, it does.
- Okay?
1060
00:38:21,577 --> 00:38:23,178
- That's the plan.
- That's the plan.
1061
00:38:23,178 --> 00:38:24,847
- All right, guys. You ready?
- Yes.
1062
00:38:24,847 --> 00:38:27,583
All right. Let's go get ready.
We got a bar to open.
1063
00:38:27,583 --> 00:38:31,220
[dramatic music]
1064
00:38:31,220 --> 00:38:35,858
Hey, guys! How are you? Woo!
1065
00:38:35,858 --> 00:38:37,760
Thank you guys for waiting.
1066
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,495
Thank you for being so patient.
1067
00:38:39,495 --> 00:38:41,196
I love you guys.
1068
00:38:41,196 --> 00:38:44,466
Come on in,
let's experience the new JJ's.
1069
00:38:44,466 --> 00:38:47,570
- [crowd cheering]
- Just grab a seat.
1070
00:38:47,570 --> 00:38:48,804
We got you!
1071
00:38:48,804 --> 00:38:50,205
You like, you like, you like.
1072
00:38:50,205 --> 00:38:51,807
Hey, guys. Welcome.
1073
00:38:51,807 --> 00:38:55,244
Come on [inaudible]
1074
00:38:55,244 --> 00:38:57,446
- This is good, right?
- This is so fun.
1075
00:39:00,516 --> 00:39:01,717
Order up!
1076
00:39:03,252 --> 00:39:04,820
You guys are going so fast.
1077
00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:06,855
You're just doing sliders,
you got your bread.
1078
00:39:06,855 --> 00:39:08,791
Oh, you already put those up.
That's right [inaudible]
1079
00:39:08,791 --> 00:39:10,693
let me get your two pickles.
1080
00:39:10,693 --> 00:39:12,795
You guys are doing great.
1081
00:39:14,496 --> 00:39:15,898
- You doin' good?
- Yes.
1082
00:39:15,898 --> 00:39:17,666
- How's she doin'?
- Good.
1083
00:39:17,666 --> 00:39:19,602
Okay. That's two, three
at a time, right?
1084
00:39:22,304 --> 00:39:24,306
- Are they grabbing this food?
- Yeah, food's going down.
1085
00:39:24,306 --> 00:39:27,643
Okay. Two nights ago,
it was crazy here, right?
1086
00:39:27,643 --> 00:39:29,912
- Yes, sir.
- Tonight, look at this.
1087
00:39:29,912 --> 00:39:32,681
Food is ready, now
we're back up getting it out.
1088
00:39:32,681 --> 00:39:35,217
Because we're so far ahead
here in the kitchen.
1089
00:39:35,217 --> 00:39:39,488
Calm, cool, nobody screaming
at each other, right?
1090
00:39:39,488 --> 00:39:41,357
This is great, man.
This is tight.
1091
00:39:41,357 --> 00:39:43,225
Keep going. You're doing well.
1092
00:39:43,225 --> 00:39:44,793
All of your guests have drinks.
You're doing well.
1093
00:39:44,793 --> 00:39:46,528
Keep them coming out.
1094
00:39:46,528 --> 00:39:48,364
Get a garnish on that straw,
and get it out.
1095
00:39:48,364 --> 00:39:49,832
Oh, thank you.
That was just really quick.
1096
00:39:49,832 --> 00:39:51,433
- Yeah.
- Thank you so much.
1097
00:39:51,433 --> 00:39:52,968
You're very welcome.
1098
00:39:52,968 --> 00:39:55,838
Fredericka,
I'm sorry to interrupt.
1099
00:39:55,838 --> 00:39:58,240
I want you to know
you both mean very much to me.
1100
00:39:58,240 --> 00:39:59,808
- Thank you, Jon.
- I wanna see you be
1101
00:39:59,808 --> 00:40:01,810
really successful, okay?
1102
00:40:01,810 --> 00:40:04,413
And I wanna see your mom hand
this place over to you one day
1103
00:40:04,413 --> 00:40:06,415
and you can carry on
a family legacy
1104
00:40:06,415 --> 00:40:08,550
with your grandfather's name
on the sign.
1105
00:40:08,550 --> 00:40:10,452
- You happy?
- Yes.
1106
00:40:10,452 --> 00:40:11,954
- Are you happy?
- I'm very happy.
1107
00:40:11,954 --> 00:40:13,689
- All right, my work is done.
- Thank you.
1108
00:40:13,689 --> 00:40:15,357
- Now it's up to you guys, okay?
- Your work is done.
1109
00:40:15,357 --> 00:40:16,892
- Thank you, Jon.
- Jon definitely saved
1110
00:40:16,892 --> 00:40:19,395
my bar family,
me and my mother's relationship.
1111
00:40:19,395 --> 00:40:20,429
- Thank you.
- Make yourselves proud.
1112
00:40:20,429 --> 00:40:21,563
- Thank you.
- Good night.
1113
00:40:21,563 --> 00:40:22,898
- All right.
- It means the world
1114
00:40:22,898 --> 00:40:25,734
to me to have my staff
together with me now.
1115
00:40:25,734 --> 00:40:27,403
We're on the same page.
1116
00:40:27,403 --> 00:40:28,604
A lot of ups, a lot of downs,
1117
00:40:28,604 --> 00:40:30,572
but at the end,
we made it here,
1118
00:40:30,572 --> 00:40:31,774
we're here.
1119
00:40:31,774 --> 00:40:33,776
