00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,135
He's gonna do that to me.
2
00:00:02,135 --> 00:00:04,237
I'm--anybody got a pillow
I can sit on?
3
00:00:05,638 --> 00:00:07,307
He's usually a dick.

00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:09,442
[LAUGHS]
5
00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:12,278
NARRATOR: For over 30 years
6
00:00:12,278 --> 00:00:14,280
Jon Taffer
has traveled the country
7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,251
saving hundreds of bars
from failure and ruin.
8
00:00:18,251 --> 00:00:20,754
The past two years
are unlike anything
9
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:22,255
I've seen in our industry
10
00:00:22,255 --> 00:00:24,391
but we're bouncing back.
11
00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:25,558
People are going out again
12
00:00:25,558 --> 00:00:27,794
and restaurants
need to get ready.
13
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:31,431
NARRATOR: Now, Jon is faced
with a new set of problem.
14
00:00:31,431 --> 00:00:33,466
There are supply chain issues.
15
00:00:33,466 --> 00:00:36,136
Why are we out of this shit?
16
00:00:36,136 --> 00:00:37,337
Staffing shortages.
17
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:38,738
Every week, we get a new staff.
18
00:00:38,738 --> 00:00:40,407
We have to crash course 'em.
19
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,475
And consistent health concerns.
20
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:44,177
This can't fail.
21
00:00:44,177 --> 00:00:45,612
It just can't.
22
00:00:45,612 --> 00:00:48,381
NARRATOR : So now,
Jon is back out on the road
23
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:52,485
and heading to Valrico, Florida
to rescue J.F. Kicks.
24
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:54,621
This is a new era
for our country.
25
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:58,858
So we need to raise the bar
and rise to these challenges.
26
00:00:58,858 --> 00:01:02,695
NARRATOR: In 2019,
contractor Johnny Spieldenner
27
00:01:02,695 --> 00:01:05,632
bought J.F. Kicks
in Valrico, Florida.
28
00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:08,268
I got a phone call
from the owners of J.F. Kicks
29
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:09,803
and they asked me
if I knew anyone
30
00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:11,271
who wanted to buy a restaurant.
31
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:12,672
I wanted to get
out of construction.
32
00:01:12,672 --> 00:01:14,841
I saw an opportunity
and a good change
33
00:01:14,841 --> 00:01:16,643
in trajectory for myself.
34
00:01:16,643 --> 00:01:18,678
NARRATOR: With help
from his brother Jimmy,
35
00:01:18,678 --> 00:01:22,215
J.F. Kicks was up and running
and an instant success.
36
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:23,483
So my brother Jimmy,
37
00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:25,251
he moved down to Florida
to work for me.
38
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:28,421
And so when I decided
I was gonna buy the restaurant
39
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:30,590
and Jimmy helped me
out financially
40
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:32,325
and it was a big help,
41
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:34,561
I wouldn't have done it
without him.
42
00:01:34,561 --> 00:01:36,529
I saw a lot of upside
buying the place.
43
00:01:36,529 --> 00:01:38,565
People loved it
as a little local hangout.
44
00:01:38,565 --> 00:01:42,202
Uh, we had almost doubled
the old owner's total sales.
45
00:01:42,202 --> 00:01:44,571
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
46
00:01:44,571 --> 00:01:46,940
NARRATOR: But not long
after opening.
47
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:50,944
Jimmy tragically passed away.
48
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,613
Him passing away is probably
one of the hardest things
49
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:56,316
I've ever dealt with.
50
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:57,617
I mean, he was my best friend.
51
00:01:57,617 --> 00:01:59,519
So...
52
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,889
Jimmy supported me in this
in the beginning.
53
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:08,628
And then I supported him
through his cancer.
54
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:11,598
There's a connection between
him and this restaurant,
55
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:16,302
so I don't wanna see his efforts
and my efforts go to waste.
56
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:20,673
NARRATOR: After the loss
of his brother,
57
00:02:20,673 --> 00:02:22,842
Johnny found himself
short staffed
58
00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:25,478
and decided to enlist
his son Tanner
59
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:27,413
to help run the kitchen.
60
00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:28,948
There wasn't really anyone
to teach me,
61
00:02:28,948 --> 00:02:31,451
I would ask a service staff
how something looked going out
62
00:02:31,451 --> 00:02:33,219
and I would just guess
how it was made.
63
00:02:33,219 --> 00:02:34,621
I don't have the experience
64
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:37,357
but I'm just stepping up
wherever I need to be.
65
00:02:37,357 --> 00:02:38,825
He's only 18 now
66
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:41,461
and he's one of my most
reliable guys in the kitchen.
67
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:43,763
Tanner, how we doing down there?
68
00:02:43,763 --> 00:02:45,598
NARRATOR: But even after
Tanner's help,
69
00:02:45,598 --> 00:02:49,402
Johnny is still working himself
to the bone.
70
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:51,938
From the beginning,
Jimmy supported me in this.
71
00:02:51,938 --> 00:02:54,274
I am having a real
difficult time without him.
72
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:56,276
I'm losing money
and I don't even know why.
73
00:02:56,276 --> 00:02:57,844
He's always in the kitchen.
74
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,779
And I feel like a lot of times
like the bar gets neglected.
75
00:02:59,779 --> 00:03:02,415
Because if he's back there,
he doesn't have time
76
00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:03,783
to come out here.
77
00:03:03,783 --> 00:03:06,653
I'm the line cook.
I'm a dishwasher.
78
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:08,788
I'm the general manager.
I wear every hat.
79
00:03:08,788 --> 00:03:10,890
In the first year,
I kept inventory
80
00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:12,458
and I was able to watch
81
00:03:12,458 --> 00:03:13,893
a lot of the things
that were going on
82
00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:15,595
and I think
I had a better grasp of it
83
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:17,697
but it's difficult
without Jimmy.
84
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:20,300
We all feel he spends
too much time here.
85
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,701
NARRATOR:
But the stress of the bar
86
00:03:21,701 --> 00:03:23,670
was taking a toll
on his health.
87
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:25,471
I had a stroke.
88
00:03:25,471 --> 00:03:26,739
I was standing in the office
89
00:03:26,739 --> 00:03:29,375
and suddenly I lost vision
in my left eye
90
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:31,044
and I had to rush
to the hospital.
91
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:32,512
I was in there for three days.
92
00:03:32,512 --> 00:03:33,646
I think it's just
from the stress
93
00:03:33,646 --> 00:03:35,381
of this place to be honest.
94
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:37,584
I feel like this job
stressed on him
95
00:03:37,584 --> 00:03:40,053
is definitely taking years
off his life.
96
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:43,590
I feel like I could lose him
to this place.
97
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:46,559
NARRATOR:
And now the apple isn't
falling far from the tree.
98
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:49,696
I'm here every day
because he's here every day.
99
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:51,898
He feels pressured a lot
by his dad.
100
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:53,666
He's just always tired.
101
00:03:53,666 --> 00:03:55,735
I'm pushing myself
more and more
102
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:58,304
but I need to be
here for my dad
103
00:03:58,304 --> 00:03:59,739
because if I'm not here
104
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:02,942
he really does have no one else
who can help him.
105
00:04:02,942 --> 00:04:04,677
NARRATOR: So with his life
on the line,
106
00:04:04,677 --> 00:04:07,580
and his son following
in his self-destructive path,
107
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,515
and the legacy of his brother
at stake.
108
00:04:09,515 --> 00:04:12,418
I'm about $300,000 in debt
109
00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:13,753
and I don't understand how.
110
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,322
I don't know how long
he could really keep going
111
00:04:16,322 --> 00:04:17,890
at a hundred and ten percent
like he is.
112
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:19,425
NARRATOR: Johnny has
made the decision
113
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:20,893
to pull back the doors,
114
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:23,062
bust open the books,
and make a call for help,
115
00:04:23,062 --> 00:04:24,831
to Bar Rescue.
116
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:27,000
At this pace if I keep doing
what we're doing,
117
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
I feel like it could kill me.
118
00:04:40,878 --> 00:04:43,381
Well guys,
thanks for being with me.
119
00:04:43,381 --> 00:04:44,415
-Thanks for having us.
-Thank you.

00:04:46,951 --> 00:04:49,353

Having visited establishments
130
00:05:14,578 --> 00:05:15,813
around the world,
131
00:05:15,813 --> 00:05:17,548
Adam and Britt are perfect
132
00:05:17,548 --> 00:05:20,918
for assessing any bar's quality
and potential.
133
00:05:20,918 --> 00:05:22,953
So Adam, how long
you've been wrestling?
134
00:05:22,953 --> 00:05:24,722
Nearly 14 years now.

00:05:24,722 --> 00:05:26,757
-Fourteen years.
-Yeah.
136
00:05:26,757 --> 00:05:29,393
-And Britt, you too, how long?
-Just six, almost six years.
137
00:05:29,393 --> 00:05:30,494
Almost six years.
138
00:05:30,494 --> 00:05:32,029
And you started wrestling
in bars?
139
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:33,431
Yes.
140
00:05:33,431 --> 00:05:34,865
Bingo halls, bars, you name it.
Yeah.
141
00:05:34,865 --> 00:05:36,934
So, I mean,
between the two of us,
142
00:05:36,934 --> 00:05:38,836
we've been to,
I'd say hundreds of bars

00:05:38,836 --> 00:05:40,004
-all across the world.
-Yes.
144
00:05:40,004 --> 00:05:41,505
Oh, we're bar people for sure.
145
00:05:41,505 --> 00:05:43,974
And done wrestling promos
in bars and all?
146
00:05:43,974 --> 00:05:48,746
Well, there we are. J.F. Kicks.
147
00:05:48,746 --> 00:05:52,116
Now I'm told that stands
for Just For Kicks.
148
00:05:52,116 --> 00:05:54,985
This bar is owned by a guy
by the name of Johnny.
149
00:05:54,985 --> 00:05:56,353
Okay.
150
00:05:56,353 --> 00:05:58,422
Tanner,
we got nacho chips cooked.
151
00:05:58,422 --> 00:06:01,058
Johnny bought this bar
three years ago.
152
00:06:01,058 --> 00:06:03,928
And he's working
seven days a week,
153
00:06:03,928 --> 00:06:08,466
literally, 18, 20 hours a day
and he had a stroke.
154
00:06:08,466 --> 00:06:12,636
So he works with his son Tanner
who's just 18 years old.
155
00:06:12,636 --> 00:06:14,405
-Oh, my God, 18?
-Yeah.
156
00:06:14,405 --> 00:06:16,474
He can't make enough money
to get a staff in here,
157
00:06:16,474 --> 00:06:18,542
so he's stuck working
seven days a week,
158
00:06:18,542 --> 00:06:19,710
-twenty hours a day.
-He is?
159
00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:20,778
-He is!
-Oh, my God.
160
00:06:20,778 --> 00:06:23,514
After he had the stroke.
161
00:06:23,514 --> 00:06:26,550
So this is a really
difficult situation.
162
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:29,753
So they're not making money
and we gotta figure out why.
163
00:06:29,753 --> 00:06:32,156
Take a look,
so there's the kitchen.
164
00:06:32,156 --> 00:06:34,458
We got a Philly set,
you got the both fries,
165
00:06:34,458 --> 00:06:36,126
we need a side onion ring,
do you have that down?
166
00:06:36,126 --> 00:06:37,528
Not the cleanest
167
00:06:37,528 --> 00:06:38,629
but not the dirtiest
I've ever seen.
168
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:40,431
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Swinging out!
169
00:06:40,431 --> 00:06:42,633
See there's Tanner
working in the kitchen.
170
00:06:42,633 --> 00:06:44,435
-Okay.
-They do everything themselves.
171
00:06:44,435 --> 00:06:46,537
So Tanner and his dad
work in the kitchen literally
172
00:06:46,537 --> 00:06:49,740
-20 hours a day.
-Oh, my God.
173
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:51,742
There is Nikki,
she's the floor manager.
174
00:06:51,742 --> 00:06:52,810

There's Joel,
he's one of our bartenders.
177
00:06:59,450 --> 00:07:00,985
-Blue cheese ranch?
-Yeah.
178
00:07:00,985 --> 00:07:02,453
Cool beans. Let's get it on.

There's Sam.
She's another bartender.

Here, another day,
another dollar.

-Okay.
-And there is Crystal,

-Quesadilla?
-Yup.
184

Looks like he's confident
from here.
185
00:07:22,506 --> 00:07:23,974
-Yeah.
-Let's see how his pour is.
186
00:07:26,143 --> 00:07:27,912
Failed the pour.
187
00:07:29,013 --> 00:07:30,548
So, even he knew it he blew it.

No! Fake it till you make it.
191
00:07:35,619 --> 00:07:37,688
So, he let the customer know
that he blew it.
192

-Yeah.
-Yeah.
193
00:07:39,657 --> 00:07:41,859

some kind of tequila sunrise
194
00:07:41,859 --> 00:07:43,694

00:07:46,864 --> 00:07:47,865
So, do you think he can put
his hands on those garnish?
198
00:07:47,865 --> 00:07:49,166
That's what I wanted to see,
199
00:07:49,166 --> 00:07:50,868

on the--on the--

Look at this. Look at this.
No rubber gloves.

What if he was sneezing
a few minutes earlier?

-Right. We don't know.
-We don't know.

-Okay. Yeah.

high and low top seating,
213
00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:22,166

no sense at all.

-I do not.
-You don't know mojitos? Okay.

-Sorry.
-You go ahead first.

-Yeah.
-Okay. Let's do that.

No surprise to me
they couldn't make the mojitos.

how cranberry cloud comes out.
232

Not a very good pour.

00:09:06,010 --> 00:09:08,278
She over poured.

of that old fashioned.

-Are they good?

-I like 'em.
-They're good?

-It's different.
-I should try it?

00:09:37,241 --> 00:09:38,742
I would.

you like,

00:09:40,077 --> 00:09:41,111

at some seafood stuff,
251

-The crazy rolls.

-The crazy rolls. Okay.
-The very bottom.
254
00:09:45,215 --> 00:09:47,351
So it's basically
the lobster filling.
255

With a little bit
of a twist too,
256
00:09:48,886 --> 00:09:50,220
so we have like shrimp
and fish inside of it.
257
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:52,623
And it's put into an egg roll,
deep fried.
258

and the lobster roll.

is moving back there,

he could cook,
he seems organized.
272

The freaking guy
is a good cook.
273
00:10:33,997 --> 00:10:36,066
Why does he do
everything himself?
274
00:10:36,066 --> 00:10:37,935
Why can't he get somebody
back there?
275
00:10:37,935 --> 00:10:39,570
He clearly can train 'em.

himself a stroke a year ago.

Ooh, what is--
the buffalo chicken--
281

This is gonna be
your buffalo chicken dip.

-Food is out already.

That is all cream cheese
right there.

So they're doing
some things right.

to be doing anything

Look at this,
now Johnny is doing inventory.
310
00:11:56,780 --> 00:11:59,483
So he's cooking food,
now he's doing the inventory.
311
00:11:59,483 --> 00:12:01,485
Why does he do
everything himself?
312
00:12:01,485 --> 00:12:02,920
That worries me.
313
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,922
I gotta have a serious talk
with Johnny,
314
00:12:04,922 --> 00:12:08,091
Johnny needs to learn
how to run it rather than do it.
315
00:12:08,091 --> 00:12:10,861
He's gonna kill himself
in this place
316
00:12:10,861 --> 00:12:13,163
rather than have the place
better his life,
317
00:12:13,163 --> 00:12:14,865
he's making it worst.
318
00:12:14,865 --> 00:12:17,234
I'm gonna go in, I wanna see
how that food looks myself
319
00:12:17,234 --> 00:12:18,969

A little bit.
348
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,095
No, I'm watching you move around
in this kitchen,
349
00:13:43,095 --> 00:13:44,930
you got the moves,
you got eight, ten plates
350
00:13:44,930 --> 00:13:46,999
going at the same time,
you're not burning,
351
00:13:46,999 --> 00:13:49,034
you're not frying,
I mean things are coming out,
352
00:13:49,034 --> 00:13:50,769
-you can cook.
-Thank you.
353
00:13:50,769 --> 00:13:52,004
So you wanna go out front,
let's talk for a couple minutes?
354
00:13:52,004 --> 00:13:53,672
-Sure, you got it.
-Great. Let's do it.
355
00:13:55,073 --> 00:13:58,777
You know, I heard your story.
356
00:13:58,777 --> 00:13:59,978
How far in debt are you?
357
00:13:59,978 --> 00:14:02,047
I mean, right now it's 300,000.
358
00:14:02,047 --> 00:14:03,615
Wow.
359
00:14:03,615 --> 00:14:04,783
And that's your boy Tanner?
360
00:14:04,783 --> 00:14:06,385
-It is. Yeah.
-Good kid?
361
00:14:06,385 --> 00:14:07,920
He's the best kid. Yeah.
362
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,321
So he's here helping you?
363
00:14:09,321 --> 00:14:12,724
He is been a Godsend here
in the last six months.
364
00:14:12,724 --> 00:14:15,227
He's the only one really
that cares about how things go.
365
00:14:15,227 --> 00:14:17,796
So you got into this business
to make your life better?
366
00:14:17,796 --> 00:14:19,865
-I did. I did.
-And just made your life worst?
367
00:14:19,865 --> 00:14:21,967
You know, I didn't intend on,
you know, being a line cook.
368
00:14:21,967 --> 00:14:23,969
What's your biggest fear?
It's gonna kill you?
369
00:14:23,969 --> 00:14:25,637
Yeah. I mean
that's gotta be number one.
370
00:14:25,637 --> 00:14:27,239
I just watched
my brother pass away
371
00:14:27,239 --> 00:14:29,675
and that's, you know,
that's a hard thing.
372
00:14:29,675 --> 00:14:31,143
-And I, I--
-Older or younger?
373
00:14:31,143 --> 00:14:32,244
-He was younger.
-Younger brother?
374
00:14:32,244 --> 00:14:34,379
-He's 40--41.
-That got you?
375
00:14:34,379 --> 00:14:36,215
It kills you,
he's got a little daughter
376
00:14:36,215 --> 00:14:38,784
and I've got my kids
and if something happened to me,
377
00:14:38,784 --> 00:14:41,119
what happens to them, you know?
378
00:14:41,119 --> 00:14:42,688
So listen buddy,
I wanna dig you out.
379
00:14:42,688 --> 00:14:43,889
-Thanks.
-Okay?
380
00:14:43,889 --> 00:14:45,390
-I appreciate it.
-I'm here to help you.
381
00:14:45,390 --> 00:14:48,026
I got to think about why
this place is not making money.
382
00:14:48,026 --> 00:14:49,962
Johnny is trying.
383
00:14:49,962 --> 00:14:52,264
He's not ignoring his business,
he's working like crazy,
384
00:14:52,264 --> 00:14:54,032
his food is very mediocre,
385
00:14:54,032 --> 00:14:56,368
nothing great but he's trying.
386
00:14:56,368 --> 00:14:58,804
He's $300,000 in debt
387
00:14:58,804 --> 00:15:01,306
and he's scared
he's gonna die from this bar.
388
00:15:01,306 --> 00:15:04,042
I've got to get Johnny
out of this kitchen,
389
00:15:04,042 --> 00:15:05,878
I've gotta get him
running this bar
390
00:15:05,878 --> 00:15:07,446
and I've gotta get him
out of debt.
391
00:15:07,446 --> 00:15:09,848
And set him up for a long life.
392
00:15:09,848 --> 00:15:11,016
-So see you tomorrow.
-Thank you.
393
00:15:11,016 --> 00:15:12,084
See you tomorrow, sir.
394

[TENSE MUSIC]
395
00:15:19,858 --> 00:15:21,693
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
396
00:15:29,201 --> 00:15:31,904
Tonight, like, if we can work
like as a cohesive team--
397
00:15:31,904 --> 00:15:33,839
I think we should just all work
together tonight to be honest.
398
00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:35,474
I mean, you know,
you see something
399
00:15:35,474 --> 00:15:37,175
that's not happening over here,
you guys come out,
400
00:15:37,175 --> 00:15:38,243
we see something
that's happening over here,
401
00:15:38,243 --> 00:15:39,378
we come and get that.
402
00:15:39,378 --> 00:15:40,946
Yesterday I was a little nervous
403
00:15:40,946 --> 00:15:42,347
but now that I see
what's happening
404
00:15:42,347 --> 00:15:44,016
and how things are going,
405
00:15:44,016 --> 00:15:45,450
I feel a little bit better
about it to be honest.
406
00:15:45,450 --> 00:15:47,152
What do you think
your response is gonna be
407
00:15:47,152 --> 00:15:49,988
if Jon Taffer comes in
and lays into you?
408
00:15:49,988 --> 00:15:52,190
You--I do hold my ground
but, I mean,
409
00:15:52,190 --> 00:15:54,826
he's [BLEEP] Jon Taffer guys,
I mean let's be real.
410
00:15:54,826 --> 00:15:57,129
I think the only hard thing
to hear it would be that,
411
00:15:57,129 --> 00:15:58,497
like, you're a bad manager
412
00:15:58,497 --> 00:16:00,432
because I have put
a lot of my heart
413
00:16:00,432 --> 00:16:04,036
and soul on this place
and time, and money.
414
00:16:04,036 --> 00:16:06,405
And so, that's one thing
that kind of makes me nervous.
415
00:16:06,405 --> 00:16:08,907
-Hello!
-ALL: Hello! Hello!
416
00:16:08,907 --> 00:16:10,909
-How's everybody?
-ALL: Good! How are you?
417
00:16:10,909 --> 00:16:12,377
Great. You guys
wanna talk a little bit?
418
00:16:12,377 --> 00:16:15,013
-ALL: Yeah.
-Come on over, let's do it.
419
00:16:15,013 --> 00:16:18,116
As far as bar rescues go,
you had an easy night.
420
00:16:18,116 --> 00:16:19,351
We did.
421
00:16:19,351 --> 00:16:22,754
You know, this is
a difficult situation,
422
00:16:22,754 --> 00:16:25,023
when you have an owner
who's a good guy,
423
00:16:25,023 --> 00:16:26,491
who's working seven days a week,
424
00:16:26,491 --> 00:16:28,226
a hundred hours a week,
425
00:16:28,226 --> 00:16:30,228
had a medical issue a year ago.
426
00:16:30,228 --> 00:16:31,830
-Uh-hmm.
-Right?
427
00:16:31,830 --> 00:16:34,132
This guy is working this level,
what's gonna happen?
428
00:16:34,132 --> 00:16:35,500
He's not gonna get healthy,
is he?
429
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,336
-Nope.
-So I need you guys
430
00:16:37,336 --> 00:16:38,770
to step up with me now
431
00:16:38,770 --> 00:16:40,238
and let's fight for him
this week, okay?
432
00:16:40,238 --> 00:16:41,773
-Got you.
-Okay.
433
00:16:41,773 --> 00:16:42,975
Nikki,
how long you've been here?
434
00:16:42,975 --> 00:16:44,276
Almost seven years.
435
00:16:44,276 --> 00:16:46,211
I noticed in between cooking
last night,
436
00:16:46,211 --> 00:16:47,946
you were doing liquor inventory,
437
00:16:47,946 --> 00:16:50,015
why isn't she doing
the liquor inventory?
438
00:16:50,015 --> 00:16:51,249
She's got a lot on her plate.
439
00:16:51,249 --> 00:16:52,985
She is a fulltime server
as well.
440
00:16:52,985 --> 00:16:54,987
So I feel like
I would be spreading her
441
00:16:54,987 --> 00:16:56,154
a little too thin.
442
00:16:56,154 --> 00:16:57,990
So instead you do it
to yourself?
443
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:59,992
That's what I do. Yeah.
444
00:16:59,992 --> 00:17:01,360
How's that working?
445
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,527
It's not working well.
446
00:17:02,527 --> 00:17:04,997
Does your dad
not give responsibility,
447
00:17:04,997 --> 00:17:06,498
is he bad at delegating Tanner?
448
00:17:06,498 --> 00:17:08,433
And you gotta be straight
with me to help him, right?
449
00:17:08,433 --> 00:17:10,335
Yeah, he does everything himself
450
00:17:10,335 --> 00:17:13,205
because he just usually feels
like he can do it faster
451
00:17:13,205 --> 00:17:15,140
-and better than anyone else.
-Yeah.
452
00:17:15,140 --> 00:17:16,575
But then a hundred hours a week,
453
00:17:16,575 --> 00:17:18,310
does he do it any faster
and better than anybody else?
454
00:17:19,277 --> 00:17:20,946
No.
455
00:17:20,946 --> 00:17:22,514
Okay, guys.
We got a lot of work to do.
456
00:17:22,514 --> 00:17:25,517
So I got two great experts
to come work with me here today.
457
00:17:25,517 --> 00:17:27,319
Guys, are you ready to come in?
458
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:28,453
There they are.
459
00:17:28,453 --> 00:17:30,455
-How you doing, Jon?
-Derrick Turner.
460
00:17:30,455 --> 00:17:33,392
NARRATOR: For the bar,
Jon brings in Derrick Turner.
461
00:17:33,392 --> 00:17:35,527
A mixologist from
New York City.
462
00:17:35,527 --> 00:17:38,964
He's named the top 10 bartender
by Timeout Magazine.
463
00:17:38,964 --> 00:17:41,500
Derrick has worked
with both craft spirit brands
464
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:44,102
and major breweries
across the country.
465
00:17:44,102 --> 00:17:45,537
Derrick is a great mixologist.
466
00:17:45,537 --> 00:17:48,040
We're gonna work
on a great signature
467
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,975
cocktail program for you.
468
00:17:49,975 --> 00:17:52,577
And Chef Mike Ferraro.
469
00:17:52,577 --> 00:17:54,946
NARRATOR: For the kitchen,
Jon brings in
470
00:17:54,946 --> 00:17:56,948
Chef Michael Ferraro.
471
00:17:56,948 --> 00:17:59,551
With his Italian roots
and decades of experience
472
00:17:59,551 --> 00:18:01,153
in some of
the finest restaurants
473
00:18:01,153 --> 00:18:02,354
in New York City.
474
00:18:02,354 --> 00:18:04,056
Chef Ferraro
has cultivated menus
475
00:18:04,056 --> 00:18:05,524
at high end establishments
476
00:18:05,524 --> 00:18:07,559
as well as local
neighborhood restaurants
477
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:09,094
across the country.
478
00:18:09,094 --> 00:18:11,229
Cocktails have to be profitable,
correct?
479
00:18:11,229 --> 00:18:13,432
-Oh, absolutely.
-Should be the most profitable
480
00:18:13,432 --> 00:18:15,133
part of the business,
you agree Johnny?
481
00:18:15,133 --> 00:18:17,569
-For sure.
-I wanna show you something.
482
00:18:17,569 --> 00:18:20,238
This is Partender.
483
00:18:20,238 --> 00:18:22,140
The way Partender works
is they come in,
484
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:24,376
they weigh every liquor bottle
in the bar
485
00:18:24,376 --> 00:18:28,046
then we come back in
and we weigh the bottles again.
486
00:18:28,046 --> 00:18:30,482
Then we compare
what was consumed
487
00:18:30,482 --> 00:18:31,950
to what was sold.
488
00:18:31,950 --> 00:18:33,218
-Makes sense?
-Uh-hmm.
489
00:18:33,218 --> 00:18:35,120
So over those several days,
490
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:40,158
we poured 7,416 ounce
worth of liquor,
491
00:18:40,158 --> 00:18:43,562
we sold $5,647.
492
00:18:43,562 --> 00:18:46,064
-Oh, my God.
-In retail value.
493
00:18:46,064 --> 00:18:48,433
-I want you to see this number.
-Yes.
494
00:18:48,433 --> 00:18:50,469
Johnny, I want you to read to me
495
00:18:50,469 --> 00:18:52,537
the number that
that is every year?
496
00:18:52,537 --> 00:18:56,108
That's $322,843.
497
00:18:57,642 --> 00:18:59,344
Yeah. There's your debt.
498
00:18:59,344 --> 00:19:02,214
And it's leaking at the bar,
499
00:19:02,214 --> 00:19:05,317
$300,000 loss over the year.
500
00:19:05,317 --> 00:19:06,952
When I was looking
at those numbers
501
00:19:06,952 --> 00:19:10,055
for the bar leak,
I almost started tearing up.
502
00:19:10,055 --> 00:19:11,123
I looked at my dad
503
00:19:11,123 --> 00:19:12,991
and his face
is just utter shock.
504
00:19:12,991 --> 00:19:16,128
I can't help but feel
how he does in that moment
505
00:19:16,128 --> 00:19:18,163
just seeing that much loss
506
00:19:18,163 --> 00:19:20,132
and what could've been ours.
507
00:19:20,132 --> 00:19:21,633
We wouldn't have to worry about
508
00:19:21,633 --> 00:19:23,401
losing the house or anything.
509
00:19:23,401 --> 00:19:26,138
One thing and that would've
cleared our debt in one year.
510
00:19:26,138 --> 00:19:28,073
Maybe he wouldn't
have gotten sick a year ago
511
00:19:28,073 --> 00:19:30,075
because that debt
might have gotten you sick.
512
00:19:30,075 --> 00:19:32,144
-I feel sick right now.
-Bet you do.
513
00:19:32,144 --> 00:19:34,613
So while you're in
the kitchen cooking,
514
00:19:34,613 --> 00:19:36,214
this is what's happening
out here.
515
00:19:36,214 --> 00:19:38,517
This is why I need to get you
out on the floor.
516
00:19:38,517 --> 00:19:40,485
And this is on you,
517
00:19:40,485 --> 00:19:43,054
because these transactions
happened under your eye.
518
00:19:43,054 --> 00:19:44,589
-Yes, sir.
-So either the over pouring,
519
00:19:44,589 --> 00:19:46,358
the quick cash
not hitting the drawer,
520
00:19:46,358 --> 00:19:49,127
whatever it is,
it's happening under your eye.
521
00:19:49,127 --> 00:19:51,463
So I'm gonna say it
straight out.
522
00:19:51,463 --> 00:19:53,732
You might say she's qualified
and she earned it,
523
00:19:53,732 --> 00:19:55,167
I don't see it.
524
00:19:55,167 --> 00:19:56,701
I see a completely
ineffective manager,
525
00:19:56,701 --> 00:19:58,270
if you are my manager,
526
00:19:58,270 --> 00:19:59,504
you'd have one foot
out the door.
527
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:04,904
in the way
the physical room looks
528
00:20:04,904 --> 00:20:06,740
and the way the room operates.
529
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:09,509
I'm being straight with you,
if you are my manager,
530
00:20:09,509 --> 00:20:10,977
you'd have one foot
out the door.
531
00:20:10,977 --> 00:20:13,513
So prove me wrong
the next two days,
532
00:20:13,513 --> 00:20:14,914
show me you can do this.
533
00:20:14,914 --> 00:20:17,784
I almost got my feelings hurt
534
00:20:17,784 --> 00:20:20,520
but I know what he said
was probably true
535
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,858
and I have probably
overlooked things
536
00:20:24,858 --> 00:20:27,761
that are way overdue.
537
00:20:27,761 --> 00:20:29,829
So what I'd like to do,
Tanner and Johnny,
538
00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:32,532
I'd like you guys to go back
in the kitchen with chef.
539
00:20:32,532 --> 00:20:36,202
Derrick, I'd like Joel and Sam
to go behind the bar with you.
540
00:20:36,202 --> 00:20:37,904
Nick, you go with him too.
541
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:40,607
Okay. Are we ready to do it?

543
00:20:45,211 --> 00:20:47,547
-What is up, guys?
-Hey, what's up?
544
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:49,182
-How we feelin'?
-Good.
545
00:20:49,182 --> 00:20:50,984
-Feeling good.
-Feeling good?
546
00:20:50,984 --> 00:20:52,952
Jon has invited me out
to J.F. Kicks
547
00:20:52,952 --> 00:20:54,921
to see what these bartenders
are about.
548
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:57,023
From what I heard,
there's a real big problem
549
00:20:57,023 --> 00:20:58,825
with over pouring,
so I'm looking to see
550
00:20:58,825 --> 00:21:00,226
if they have technique down,
551
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:02,061
to see if they know
how to use pour spouts.
552
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:04,130
And I'm interested to see
what their skill level is.
553
00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:05,865
This is one of my favorite.
554
00:21:05,865 --> 00:21:08,001
It's called the Rummer Up.
555
00:21:08,001 --> 00:21:09,569
It's a rift on the Rum Runner.
556
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:11,070
It's simple and delicious.
557
00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:12,839
And it's very easy to mix,
558
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:14,774
so it would help out
over pouring.
559
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:18,111
So we're gonna start off
with a half-ounce of grenadine.
560
00:21:18,111 --> 00:21:19,779
A half-ounce of lime.
561
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:21,881
A half-ounce
of maraschino liqueur.
562
00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:23,950
Two ounces of dark rum.
563
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,852
You can already see
the variation of color,
564
00:21:25,852 --> 00:21:28,254
it's bright, it's vibrant,
it looks nice.
565
00:21:28,254 --> 00:21:30,590
Seal steel, over the shoulder,
566
00:21:32,592 --> 00:21:34,794
cold crush, ice this up.
567
00:21:36,095 --> 00:21:37,330
A little bit of soda water.
568
00:21:37,330 --> 00:21:39,098
Oh, it looks so good.
569
00:21:39,098 --> 00:21:40,900
A little bit
of aromatic finish on top
570
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:43,770
with a nice flag
of cherry and lime.
571
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:47,340
And that ladies and gentlemen,
is the Rummer Up.
572
00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:50,677
Getting to expand
my knowledge more
573
00:21:50,677 --> 00:21:52,812
behind the bar
and understanding more of it
574
00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:54,981
than just your normal
rum and coke,
575
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:56,149
it just--it amazes me.
576
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:58,051
-So one, two, one, two.
-One, two.
577
00:21:58,051 --> 00:21:59,919
I didn't think that the bar
needed help before this,
578
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:01,321
and now that I see it,
and I see numbers,
579
00:22:01,321 --> 00:22:04,891
and I see proper training,
uh, I'm, like, wow.
580
00:22:04,891 --> 00:22:06,292
Definitely blown away by it.
581
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:08,595
All right, guys.
We got this, right?
582
00:22:08,595 --> 00:22:09,996
We're gonna remember
these cocktails.
583
00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:11,331
We're gonna get
these counts down.

-Yes.
-We're gonna communicate.

-We're gonna be a team, right?
-Yeah.
586
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,869
All right. So let's get ready
for stress test
587
00:22:15,869 --> 00:22:17,704
and let's rock and roll, man.

00:22:17,704 --> 00:22:20,240
-Let's go.
-Let's do it.
589
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,041
So Jon has brought me
into J.F. Kicks
590
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:23,776
to check out
what's going on in the kitchen.
591
00:22:23,776 --> 00:22:26,813
Apparently, the owner, Johnny,
is stuck behind the line,
592
00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:29,048
and I'm here to help him
get out of there
593
00:22:29,048 --> 00:22:32,118
and get his son Tanner,
ready to take over.

00:22:32,118 --> 00:22:33,620

00:22:33,620 --> 00:22:34,921
-Doing good.
-All right.
596
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:36,289
-You're Patrick?
-Yes, sir.
597
00:22:36,289 --> 00:22:37,891
Michael, nice to meet you.
598
00:22:37,891 --> 00:22:39,325
So, Tanner?
599
00:22:39,325 --> 00:22:41,060
The goal is here
is to get your father
600
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:42,829
-out of the kitchen, right?
-Yup.
601
00:22:42,829 --> 00:22:46,065
So, very important, Tanner,
that we teach you
602
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:47,767
how to run the kitchen,
603
00:22:47,767 --> 00:22:50,069
and to be as efficient
as possible, right?
604
00:22:50,069 --> 00:22:51,738
While raising the standard.
605
00:22:51,738 --> 00:22:52,939
-Yeah.
-All right?
606
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:54,974
So I'm gonna show you
a new dish today.
607
00:22:54,974 --> 00:22:57,143
So the goal going
into the kitchen today,
608
00:22:57,143 --> 00:22:58,912
a few things from scratch
609
00:22:58,912 --> 00:23:01,881
make them more elevated
but with less work.
610
00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:04,651
So we are gonna make
a crispy chicken sandwich.
611
00:23:04,651 --> 00:23:07,287
Here, I have a chicken breast
marinated in buttermilk
612
00:23:07,287 --> 00:23:09,055
with some seasoning. Dredge.
613
00:23:09,055 --> 00:23:11,124
Okay? Just season the flour.
614
00:23:11,124 --> 00:23:13,092
We're gonna shake off
the excess.
615
00:23:13,092 --> 00:23:15,728
When you put the chicken in,
go away from you, right,
616
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:17,063
so you don't get any splash.
617
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:18,665
Five minutes.
618
00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:20,300
A little bit of butter
on the grille,
619
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,335
toast the buns.
620
00:23:22,335 --> 00:23:25,405
So the slaw,
shredded red cabbage,
621
00:23:25,405 --> 00:23:29,042
a little bit of carrot,
a very simple vinaigrette.
622
00:23:29,042 --> 00:23:30,877
Pepper jack cheese,
623
00:23:30,877 --> 00:23:32,345
pop that underneath the boiler.
624
00:23:32,345 --> 00:23:33,913
[timer pings]
625
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:35,882
Cheese melted on both sides.
626
00:23:35,882 --> 00:23:37,450
So look at that beautiful
627
00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:39,319
-crispy chicken breast, right?
-Uh-hmm.
628
00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:42,021
On the bottom there, tomato,
629
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:45,024
some of that slaw,
Old Bay aioli.
630
00:23:45,024 --> 00:23:47,894
-That's a big, thick sandwich.
-Oh, yeah.
631
00:23:47,894 --> 00:23:50,029
That's a showstopper
for a sandwich right there.
632
00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:52,398
A lot better than
the frozen bought stuff, right?

-For sure.
-Comes together very quickly.

All right, gentlemen.
Let's get ready for stress test.

-See you in a little bit.
-See you in a little bit.

00:23:58,705 --> 00:24:01,407
-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you.

00:24:01,407 --> 00:24:02,942

put them together?

-for a minute.
-Let's go.

00:24:05,745 --> 00:24:07,947
I am stressing
to the max right now.
641
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:09,349
A big part is Johnny.
642
00:24:09,349 --> 00:24:11,184
Without Johnny,
I wouldn't be here.
643
00:24:11,184 --> 00:24:13,419

because I wanna make sure

that know what they're doing.
645
00:24:17,023 --> 00:24:18,358
What do you think, Johnny?
646
00:24:18,358 --> 00:24:20,994
I think I'm nervous
here tonight, to be honest.
647
00:24:20,994 --> 00:24:22,428
I realized here last minute
648
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:24,063
that I don't know
what the hell I'm gonna do.
649

So you'd be checking production
behind the bar, right?

00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:28,501

through the kitchen,

00:25:38,104 --> 00:25:40,039
Take a seat. How we doin'?
689
00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:45,978
Okay. Let's keep going, guys.
690
00:25:50,917 --> 00:25:52,852
Sam, you're getting old here.
Let's go, move it.
691
00:25:52,852 --> 00:25:54,353
You move like an old lady here.
692
00:25:54,353 --> 00:25:56,189
Come on, let's go, let's go.
693
00:25:56,189 --> 00:25:58,591
Guy back there is hungry,
way back there.
694
00:25:58,591 --> 00:26:00,293
-Hi.
-You guys thirsty?
695
00:26:00,293 --> 00:26:02,161
-[CHEERING]
-Yeah!
696
00:26:02,161 --> 00:26:03,496
We got to hustle that up.
697
00:26:03,496 --> 00:26:04,931
Oh, here we go.
698
00:26:04,931 --> 00:26:06,399
I'm gonna do Rummer Up.
699
00:26:06,399 --> 00:26:07,867
-Okay.
-I'm gonna do Rummer Up too.
700
00:26:07,867 --> 00:26:09,135
All right. So four...
701
00:26:09,135 --> 00:26:11,037
Joel, move to two
at a time, buddy.
702
00:26:11,037 --> 00:26:12,505
-Yup.
-Two or three at a time.
703
00:26:12,505 --> 00:26:14,173
-How many you making?
-One.
704
00:26:14,173 --> 00:26:15,541
One?
705
00:26:15,541 --> 00:26:17,210
You're gonna be here
a long time,
706
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:18,344
one at a time.
707
00:26:18,344 --> 00:26:20,313
I'm trying to inspire
this team
708
00:26:20,313 --> 00:26:22,081
by encouraging them
to move along.
709
00:26:22,081 --> 00:26:24,183
The fact is
we're all very slow here.
710
00:26:24,183 --> 00:26:26,052
Nothing's happening
quick enough.
711
00:26:26,052 --> 00:26:28,121
There doesn't seem
to be the energy level
712
00:26:28,121 --> 00:26:30,857
to drive success.
713
00:26:30,857 --> 00:26:33,626
You good on fries back there?
714
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,895
It's been a while
since I actually did
715
00:26:35,895 --> 00:26:38,364
the owner things
and walked around the tables.
716
00:26:38,364 --> 00:26:40,633
-Are you the bartender tonight?
-I am the owner.
717
00:26:40,633 --> 00:26:42,201
-You're the owner?
-How are we doing? Yes.
718
00:26:42,201 --> 00:26:43,870
Hi, my name is Johnny,
how are you doing?
719
00:26:43,870 --> 00:26:46,005
But to not be in the kitchen
when they're struggling
720
00:26:46,005 --> 00:26:47,540
and not jump in to help them,
721
00:26:47,540 --> 00:26:50,643
it goes against
every grain in my body.
722
00:26:50,643 --> 00:26:52,111
Sam, how you doing
with tickets, honey?
723
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:54,046
Tickets are right here,
I need you to help.
724
00:26:54,046 --> 00:26:56,449
-Got it.
-It couldn't move.
725
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:59,051
This gun's not reaching.
726
00:26:59,051 --> 00:27:00,553
-Two hands, buddy.
-Two, three, four--
727
00:27:00,553 --> 00:27:02,355
-You got a left hand, too.
---five, six, seven, eight.
728
00:27:02,355 --> 00:27:03,990
You guys got your drinks?
729
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:05,558
-We did.
-Did you all order food?
730
00:27:05,558 --> 00:27:07,193
-Yes.
-No food yet?
731
00:27:07,193 --> 00:27:08,594
It's been quite a while too,
hasn't it?
732
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:12,365
Talk to me, Mike.
733
00:27:12,365 --> 00:27:14,967
Fourteen minutes
on the lead ticket.
734
00:27:14,967 --> 00:27:16,302
Johnny, what's going on?
735
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:18,304
Uh, we're running
a little slow on a big ticket.
736
00:27:18,304 --> 00:27:21,174
All right, guys.
Now, it's do-or-die, isn't it?
737
00:27:21,174 --> 00:27:23,309
Berry right
and I have a Rummer,
738
00:27:23,309 --> 00:27:25,912
Rum--Rummer Up coming right now.
739
00:27:25,912 --> 00:27:28,347
Guys, we got tables
that still aren't served yet.
740
00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:30,650
Sam, we need you to move. Joel,
we need you to move, buddy.
741
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:32,919
Come on. How about
those people in the back?
742
00:27:32,919 --> 00:27:34,287
Do any of you have drinks?
743
00:27:34,287 --> 00:27:36,355
-No!
-No? How about over there?
744
00:27:36,355 --> 00:27:38,424
You guys got drinks?
Joel, come on, buddy.
745
00:27:38,424 --> 00:27:39,926
Get this out, let's go!
746
00:27:39,926 --> 00:27:41,327
We're losing it now.
747
00:27:41,327 --> 00:27:42,995
Bar is behind,
kitchen is now running
748
00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:44,363
at 15-minute ticket times.
749
00:27:44,363 --> 00:27:46,699
People getting frustrated,
we're unraveling.
750
00:27:46,699 --> 00:27:48,968
Now, we crash.
751
00:27:48,968 --> 00:27:51,270
Boom, boom,
752
00:27:51,270 --> 00:27:52,705
there you go. Send that off.
753
00:27:52,705 --> 00:27:54,307
Service!
754
00:27:54,307 --> 00:27:56,042
You guys gotta keep your ears
out for service, man.
755
00:27:56,042 --> 00:27:58,511
I can't keep coming over here
and grabbing service tickets.
756
00:27:58,511 --> 00:28:00,613
Joel, I need drinks here,
please!
757
00:28:00,613 --> 00:28:01,981
Let's go!
758
00:28:01,981 --> 00:28:03,282
[BLEEP]! [BLEEP]!
759
00:28:04,717 --> 00:28:06,385
Yeah!
760
00:28:06,385 --> 00:28:07,687
[BLEEP].
761
00:28:07,687 --> 00:28:08,688
[TENSE MUSIC]
762
00:28:14,037 --> 00:28:15,605
Yeah!
763
00:28:15,605 --> 00:28:17,807
They lost their steam.
This is crazy.
764
00:28:17,807 --> 00:28:19,042
They're drinking them faster
than we can make.
765
00:28:19,042 --> 00:28:20,310
Of course.
766
00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:21,878
We had empty glasses
all over the place.
767
00:28:21,878 --> 00:28:23,713
-Empty, empty.
-No maintenance.
768
00:28:23,713 --> 00:28:25,248
So we're getting in deeper
by the minute.
769
00:28:25,248 --> 00:28:29,619
Sam, you got four
of those runners, make all four.
770
00:28:29,619 --> 00:28:31,588
So I'm still missing
two berries and limes
771
00:28:31,588 --> 00:28:32,989
from this ticket that went out.
772
00:28:32,989 --> 00:28:34,624
-We're missing what?
-Two berries.
773
00:28:34,624 --> 00:28:36,259
-Two berries.
-Table 63.
774
00:28:36,259 --> 00:28:38,661
Sixty-three.
775
00:28:38,661 --> 00:28:40,597
What's happening, Michael?
We're losing it, aren't we?
776
00:28:40,597 --> 00:28:41,998
We're not even cooking here.
777
00:28:41,998 --> 00:28:43,266
We're defrosting
on this griddle top.
778
00:28:43,266 --> 00:28:45,168
This is a disgrace.
779
00:28:45,168 --> 00:28:46,770
It doesn't even look edible
to me.
780
00:28:46,770 --> 00:28:48,938
Okay. So we're unraveling
back here in the kitchen,
781
00:28:48,938 --> 00:28:50,807
we unraveled in the bar, too.
782
00:28:50,807 --> 00:28:53,143
Guys, I'm gonna shut this down,
this is ridiculous.
783
00:28:53,143 --> 00:28:55,245
-Do you wanna serve that?
-No, sir.
784
00:28:55,245 --> 00:28:57,347
Would you go out,
tell everybody, apologize,
785
00:28:57,347 --> 00:28:58,948
you gotta take the heat, buddy.
786
00:28:58,948 --> 00:29:00,316
Tell everybody
we're gonna shut down
787
00:29:00,316 --> 00:29:02,719
and invite them back
in two nights, Johnny, okay?
788
00:29:02,719 --> 00:29:05,955
Excuse me. Can I have
everyone's attention, please?
789
00:29:05,955 --> 00:29:07,924
We're gonna go ahead
and shut it down tonight,
790
00:29:07,924 --> 00:29:09,392
we're crashing hard.

00:29:09,392 --> 00:29:11,060
We appreciate you being here,
792
00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:13,296
and hopefully
you can come back Thursday
793
00:29:13,296 --> 00:29:15,765
and see what we've done.
Thank you, guys.

[BLEEP]!
795
00:29:17,133 --> 00:29:18,902
Folks, I'd ask you
to take a second
796
00:29:18,902 --> 00:29:21,004
and fill out these little cards.
797
00:29:21,004 --> 00:29:22,839
Rate it
on your overall experience,

00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:25,241
service, attitude,
food quality, drink,
799
00:29:25,241 --> 00:29:27,744
and give us
a fair evaluation, okay?
800
00:29:27,744 --> 00:29:29,112
Thanks, everybody.
801
00:29:32,715 --> 00:29:34,150
It sucks, bro.

It sucks, man.

[BLEEP], we had that shit going
so [BLEEP] good, man.
804
00:29:42,892 --> 00:29:44,894
Yeah, I think I lost
my confidence tonight.

00:29:46,296 --> 00:29:48,398
This job's important to me
for my kids.
806
00:29:48,398 --> 00:29:50,166
My family.
807
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:53,169
And, uh, we wanna live up
to certain expectations
808
00:29:53,169 --> 00:29:56,139
and that's what's important.
809
00:29:59,108 --> 00:30:00,944
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
810
00:30:04,113 --> 00:30:05,782
Okay, guys.
811
00:30:05,782 --> 00:30:07,217
We're gonna be introducing
things that are simple,
812
00:30:07,217 --> 00:30:08,852
easy, and delicious.
813
00:30:08,852 --> 00:30:10,320
So the next cocktail
is gonna be called
814
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,788
the Florida Breeze.
815
00:30:11,788 --> 00:30:13,056
So we're gonna start
with a quarter ounce
816
00:30:13,056 --> 00:30:15,959
of simple syrup,
a half-ounce of lemon juice,
817
00:30:15,959 --> 00:30:17,894
a half-ounce of orange liqueur,
818
00:30:17,894 --> 00:30:20,029
and then two ounces
of your bourbon.
819
00:30:20,029 --> 00:30:22,098
You can tell a drink
is over poured or under poured
820
00:30:22,098 --> 00:30:24,834
by just simply looking
at the color.
821
00:30:24,834 --> 00:30:26,803
Seal steel.
Over the shoulder.
822
00:30:31,207 --> 00:30:34,711
And guess what glass
is this going in, and then pour.
823
00:30:36,346 --> 00:30:38,014
So this gonna be garnished
with mint.
824
00:30:38,014 --> 00:30:39,782
And that,
ladies and gentlemen
825
00:30:39,782 --> 00:30:41,251
is a Florida Breeze.
826
00:30:43,353 --> 00:30:45,855
Taste it,
tell me what you think about it.
827
00:30:45,855 --> 00:30:47,490
And you saw how easy that was,
it's not that hard.
828
00:30:47,490 --> 00:30:49,359
That's good.
That's really good.
829
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:50,960
Yeah? So what do you think
about it?
830
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,395
I love it.
It's a beach in a glass.
831
00:30:52,395 --> 00:30:53,796
I love the new drinks.
832
00:30:53,796 --> 00:30:54,864
I think they're great
and refreshing,
833
00:30:54,864 --> 00:30:56,366
and no matter what
834
00:30:56,366 --> 00:30:57,767
I'm gonna get this down
835
00:30:57,767 --> 00:30:58,868
and it's gonna be killer.
836
00:30:58,868 --> 00:31:00,370
I can't wait
to serve 'em tomorrow.

-You guys got this, right?
-I got it.

00:31:02,071 --> 00:31:03,439
All right.
So let's work on this,
839
00:31:03,439 --> 00:31:04,941
let's tune it up.
840

you just have to work on it.

00:31:06,776 --> 00:31:08,444
All right?
All right, let's get to it.
842
00:31:08,444 --> 00:31:10,079
Okay. For our next dish,
843
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:11,814
we're gonna take
one of the dishes
844
00:31:11,814 --> 00:31:14,217
that you're doing already
that people tend to like,
845
00:31:14,217 --> 00:31:15,752
but we're just
gonna make it better.
846
00:31:15,752 --> 00:31:18,354
So we are gonna serve
a hot lobster roll,
847
00:31:18,354 --> 00:31:19,889
New England style.
848
00:31:19,889 --> 00:31:22,926
Classic split-bun,
melted butter,
849
00:31:22,926 --> 00:31:24,761
and we're gonna toast that
on the flat top.
850
00:31:24,761 --> 00:31:27,030
Fresh poached lobster
that we did today,
851
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:30,166
hot butter, fresh lemon juice.
852

Salt, pepper, chives.

00:31:32,902 --> 00:31:34,771
Give that a good mix.
854
00:31:34,771 --> 00:31:36,172
Some of that goodness
right there.
855
00:31:36,172 --> 00:31:38,141
-Goddamn.
-Right over the top,
856
00:31:38,141 --> 00:31:39,943
a side of fries there.
857
00:31:39,943 --> 00:31:41,778
There you have it.
858
00:31:41,778 --> 00:31:43,846
-Hot lobster roll.
-Yeah, that looks good.
859
00:31:43,846 --> 00:31:47,016
Guys, freshness. Okay?
860
00:31:47,016 --> 00:31:48,785

with a plan that's healthier

I'm looking forward to it.
I'm stressed.
877
00:32:24,187 --> 00:32:25,922
So I wanted to run
a couple things past you.
878
00:32:25,922 --> 00:32:27,423
-Sure.
-One, how about
879
00:32:27,423 --> 00:32:29,892
if you contemplated
closing on Tuesday,
880
00:32:29,892 --> 00:32:31,427
put yourself in the front
of the restaurant,
881
00:32:31,427 --> 00:32:33,830
you get a day off
every freaking week.
882
00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:36,466
You're energized,
build revenues with energy.
883
00:32:36,466 --> 00:32:39,202
And if you find
that you grow your revenues
884
00:32:39,202 --> 00:32:41,838
the other days of the week,
you can always reopen later.
885
00:32:41,838 --> 00:32:43,106
-Okay.
-So, I think that
886
00:32:43,106 --> 00:32:44,907
if you take that day down,
887
00:32:44,907 --> 00:32:48,111
you have a far better restaurant
the other six days of the week.
888
00:32:48,111 --> 00:32:50,580
I trust you. I think that
that's a great idea.

you're a good guy.

the shit out of you.

how hard that is to go through.

Don't let this bar
do that to you again, Johnny.

-Yeah.
-You gotta figure out
897
00:33:09,065 --> 00:33:11,934
a way to enjoy your life,
to depressurize yourself,
898
00:33:11,934 --> 00:33:15,471
to spend some time with Tanner
outside of that bar.
899
00:33:15,471 --> 00:33:16,939

00:38:28,781 --> 00:38:30,449
Eleven? Okay.
Is that food coming up soon?
1032
00:38:30,449 --> 00:38:31,784
Yes, sir.
1033
00:38:31,784 --> 00:38:32,818
I'll be right back
with you guys.
1034
00:38:32,818 --> 00:38:34,119
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
1035
00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:35,187
Let's get these people
over here too, yeah?
1036
00:38:35,187 --> 00:38:36,388
Got 'em.
1037
00:38:36,388 --> 00:38:37,856
Johnny, how's all the food
looking?
1038
00:38:37,856 --> 00:38:39,858
It looks great, man.
Really beautiful.
1039
00:38:39,858 --> 00:38:41,026
Doesn't that roast beef sandwich
1040
00:38:41,026 --> 00:38:42,394
look much better
with that au jus?
1041
00:38:42,394 --> 00:38:43,963
Is it wrong
if I start eatin' them?
1042
00:38:43,963 --> 00:38:45,397
-[laughs] Yes.
-There you go, Dad. Crazy roll.
1043
00:38:45,397 --> 00:38:46,865
Crazy roll. Got it.
1044
00:38:46,865 --> 00:38:49,001
Look at this food
coming up on the line now.
1045
00:38:49,001 --> 00:38:50,269
Hot, beautiful.
1046
00:38:50,269 --> 00:38:52,071
We're at eight-minute
ticket times.
1047
00:38:52,071 --> 00:38:54,873
Tanner really pulled this off.
His kitchen is organized.
1048
00:38:54,873 --> 00:38:56,408
And listen.
1049
00:38:56,408 --> 00:38:57,876
It's calm, too.
1050
00:38:57,876 --> 00:38:59,211
-You're good, you're good.
-I'm doing this.
1051
00:38:59,211 --> 00:39:00,779
Just keep--yeah.
Joel's finishing him off now,
1052
00:39:00,779 --> 00:39:02,348
-Sam's backing up.
-Yup. Excellent.
1053
00:39:02,348 --> 00:39:03,949
-You stepped up.
-Thank you.
1054
00:39:03,949 --> 00:39:05,451
You stayed really organized,
I'm proud of you.
1055
00:39:05,451 --> 00:39:07,286
Yeah, come on.
Keep doing double,
1056
00:39:07,286 --> 00:39:08,787
let's go, good job!
1057
00:39:08,787 --> 00:39:10,856
I told you, you have it!
Let's move!
1058
00:39:10,856 --> 00:39:12,257
Let's keep it going.
1059
00:39:14,793 --> 00:39:16,762
Everybody's cheering me on,
1060
00:39:16,762 --> 00:39:18,230
building that confidence
back up.
1061
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:20,332
I never really had confidence
in myself.
1062
00:39:20,332 --> 00:39:23,135
Um, I know we're gonna do
good things here.
1063
00:39:23,135 --> 00:39:25,771
Look at me for a second.
If you were my dad,
1064
00:39:25,771 --> 00:39:27,906
I would be really proud of you.
1065
00:39:27,906 --> 00:39:29,408
You stepped it up.
Listen to me,
1066
00:39:29,408 --> 00:39:31,110
you're a freakin' hero, right?
1067
00:39:31,110 --> 00:39:32,811
-I appreciate it.
-So I hope that they get
1068
00:39:32,811 --> 00:39:34,246
-a chance to see this.
-I appreciate it.
1069
00:39:34,246 --> 00:39:35,981
You talk to your little boy
and your little girl.
1070
00:39:35,981 --> 00:39:37,916
They need to see
how great their daddy did.
1071
00:39:37,916 --> 00:39:39,985
-I appreciate it. Thank you.
-Good job.
1072
00:39:44,456 --> 00:39:46,291
Look.
1073
00:39:46,291 --> 00:39:47,960
-Things are tickin'.
-You like what you see?
1074
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,062
Yeah. Everybody's moving
and shakin', doing their thing.
1075
00:39:50,062 --> 00:39:52,231
Yeah, I gotta say it.
Nikki stepped up.
1076
00:39:52,231 --> 00:39:54,333
Big time. She was great on
the floor tonight.
1077
00:39:54,333 --> 00:39:56,001
It, it just feels good in here.
1078
00:39:56,001 --> 00:39:58,504
It, it feels weird to be
on the other side of the line.
1079
00:39:58,504 --> 00:40:02,074
Up until Jon got here,
I didn't really see any light
1080
00:40:02,074 --> 00:40:05,177
at the end of that tunnel,
and it's just been such a relief
1081
00:40:05,177 --> 00:40:07,346
to see that there is a light,
and that I, I--
1082
00:40:07,346 --> 00:40:09,248
my health will improve,
1083
00:40:09,248 --> 00:40:11,216
I will start to have
more freedom and time
1084
00:40:11,216 --> 00:40:12,885
to spend with my loved ones,
1085
00:40:12,885 --> 00:40:15,254
and get to enjoy
the fruits of my labor.
1086
00:40:15,254 --> 00:40:16,889
-Do you feel it?
-I do.
1087
00:40:16,889 --> 00:40:18,457
Do you feel it
coming off your shoulder?
1088
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:20,125
I do,
I really appreciate it.
1089
00:40:20,125 --> 00:40:21,460
Excellent. Well,
my work is done, buddy.
1090
00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:23,395
It is. Hey, thank you, man.
1091
00:40:23,395 --> 00:40:25,064
Appreciate you, Jon.
1092
00:40:25,064 --> 00:40:27,833
I can see a different look
on Johnny's face already.
1093
00:40:27,833 --> 00:40:29,068
A look of relief.
1094
00:40:29,068 --> 00:40:30,436
Okay. Make Jimmy proud, right?
1095
00:40:30,436 --> 00:40:32,137
I will. Thank you.
1096
00:40:32,137 --> 00:40:34,473
He's out. Tanner handled it.
1097
00:40:34,473 --> 00:40:36,809
Johnny can now come
to the front of the house
1098
00:40:36,809 --> 00:40:39,411
and run this place correctly,
but the best part is,
1099
00:40:39,411 --> 00:40:41,513
Johnny doesn't only have
his bar back,
1100
00:40:41,513 --> 00:40:45,918
he has a chance
at having his health back.
