Bar Rescue: Calendar’s Crisis (Paramount Network, Sunday, April 27, 2025)

Bar Rescue

Bar Rescue” takes a detour from its usual format this Sunday, trading Jon Taffer’s tough-love approach for a visit from actor Danny Trejo. In “Calendar’s Crisis,” Trejo heads to Macclenny, Florida, to help a struggling pizza joint on the brink of collapse. It’s a family affair, fraught with tension and financial woes.

The owner of the pizza place seems hesitant to cede control to her daughter, a familiar dynamic in family-run businesses. This internal conflict, coupled with the restaurant’s financial troubles, creates a perfect storm for a “Bar Rescue” intervention. But will Trejo’s star power and the show’s expertise be enough to save this sinking ship?

While Jon Taffer’s absence might surprise regular viewers, the core elements of “Bar Rescue” remain: a failing business, a menu in dire need of an overhaul, and a staff desperately requiring training. The challenge here, it seems, lies as much in mediating family conflict as it does in revamping the restaurant itself. Can Trejo bridge the generational divide while also whipping the pizza place into shape?
