Jon Taffer, the no-nonsense bar and restaurant consultant, rolls into Smithton, Illinois this Sunday on “Bar Rescue,” and by the looks of it, he’s got his work cut out for him. “On the 3:10 to Failure” finds Taffer facing not just a struggling business but a marriage on the brink. The bar’s owners, a married couple at their breaking point, present a unique challenge. While one works two jobs to keep the place afloat, the other seems to be driving it into the ground through sheer mismanagement.
Taffer’s expertise extends beyond crafting a profitable menu and managing unruly staff. He often acts as a de facto therapist, mediating disputes and forcing owners to confront hard truths.
Can he pull off a double rescue? Tune in to Paramount Network this Sunday, May 4 at 10:00 PM ET to find out.
