The title of this week’s Bar Rescue says it all. Jon Taffer heads to Toledo, Ohio, to confront a staff apparently comfortable serving “The World Famous Raw Chicken Wings.” It’s a food safety nightmare waiting to happen, and the episode’s name alone telegraphs the level of disaster awaiting the perpetually angry host.
The situation centers on a bar owner whose kindness is being weaponized against him. His untrained staff has taken advantage of his leniency, leading to a breakdown in standards that extends from the front of the house to the kitchen. To help tackle the operational chaos, Taffer dispatches his go-to mixologist, Phil Wills, to assess the damage and begin the arduous process of retraining a crew that seems to have gone completely rogue.
This is Bar Rescue in its most elemental form: an owner in over his head, a staff in need of a reality check, and a glaring, hazardous problem that needs immediate fixing. The hour will follow the show’s established formula of confrontation, recon, and renovation, all fueled by Taffer’s signature brand of tough love and shouting. The only real question is how many people have already been served the titular dish.
Bar Rescue airs Sunday, June 15 at 10:00 PM ET on Paramount Network.
