hello everyone hope you're having the most amazing day today welcome to the film insight channel for
today's video we're going to cover some more businesses featured on bar rescue and review
how they're doing now so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the
content guys unlv college of hospitality for a very unique season 6 episode John Taffer heads
over to las vegas nevada to help unlv college of hospitality overcome its biggest challenge yet
the college is internationally renowned for having the best courses on hospitality and holds
close to 2 400 students which is impressive taffy arrives very early into the episode
with expert chef tiffany derry and mixologist brian van flandern who are shocked by how big
and beautiful the campus is filling them in on the situation the famous rescuer explains that
the college plans to host a major event for all of its sponsors within the next few days however they
plan to have students run the events and serve world-class food and drinks in an outdated looking
building which is unacceptable soon after everyone understood the task at hand the bar rescue host
meets with the college's dean stowe shoemaker he brings them directly to the venue they'll be
occupying for the event which looks like an 80s fast food restaurant looking around some more
they meet with the executive chef mark sandova who's training 10 students that he hand-picked
for the event rather than recon the place like usual tafra has the students participate in a
little challenge which requires them to prepare a meal as well as a drink within 20 minutes
of course the end goal of this was to get a better idea of their strengths but the famous rescuer
also hoped to see what they needed to improve on to no one's surprise the food and drinks were
incredibly well done but expert mixologist van flandern was concerned about their efficiency
sure the drinks were good but they were probably a bit too flamboyant to be made at a swift speed
taking note of the fact that the students could perform a little quicker taffra leaves and returns
the following day with his experts for some training first van flandern teaches them how
to make high volume craft cocktails to bring their speed to the next level showing the students how
to mix a rosemary pineapple tequila cocktail he's disappointed to see it take them 4 minutes rather
than 45 seconds on the culinary side of things chef derry teaches them how to make a bone marrow
dish that was inspired by something they had made the day before since he really wanted to be sure
that the students were ready for the events taffer held a stress test soon after during the prep
phase they all seemed to be very nervous about what was to come but the famous rescuer managed
to somewhat calm their nerves though he could only do so much since they would have to serve
over 100 unlv students which clearly overwhelmed them overall the students didn't seem to be able
to work fast enough which resulted in a lot of people getting drinks without any food despite
the fact that they had very poor operation skills taffer truly had faith that they could improve
following the mediocre test tafra highlights to the overwhelmed students that this is what a real
workplace is like if they can improve upon their speed and production line setup they're going to
be golden for the event considering the fact that a lot more training was required van flandern went
over the same cocktails and made sure that the students understood that each customer is a vip
chef dairy has the culinary team cook some sample dishes under her guidance that would be served to
the executive chef and the dean for testing and the same would be done for the cocktails
the dean especially seemed to like the selection they had made for the food and drinks which meant
that the venue was the last thing to fix over the course of four days taffer and his team gave the
building a complete makeover modernizing it and branding it with school-related decor in order to
keep customers engaged an led projector alongside a sound system was installed to screen live games
from the stadium additionally they were given an ice maker to help with crafting perfect cocktails
as well as received a discreet draft beer system later on after everyone was up to date with the
fantastic changes that were made guests were let in for the event initially the students reverted
back to their old ways and were lagging behind with orders but after a quick wake-up call they
stepped things up thanks to the help of taffer and his team the students finally seemed to be doing
their jobs with efficiency and elegance near the end of the service the famous rescuer called the
students out who were praised by the sponsors for their work post bar rescue it seems like
the renovated space is being used for classes but is also used to host weekly events unfortunately
since this isn't exactly a bar there aren't any reviews to look back on but it's clear that
the event was a success many believe that this episode was used as a way to promote the college
and draw in more applications which makes sense interestingly enough the college lost its first
place ranking in the world to a school called ecole hotelier de lausanne shibo in yet another
special episode jon taffer heads all the way to san juan puerto rico to help shibo return back to
its glory days owned by a brother and sister named jonathan and gabriella cruz they opened the puerto
rican asian fusion restaurant back in 2016. while jonathan is the talent of the pair with years of
experience in the culinary industry gabriella and her husband are the investors initially
the business was a complete success with the restaurant being patronized by the locals and
tourists alike however close to a year after hurricane maria wreaked havoc a category 5
hurricane completely ravaged puerto rico which left shebo with some damage months after this
disastrous event the business still seems to be struggling and for a whole slew of reasons
for one the repairs are extremely costly and most importantly many of the neighborhoods don't even
have electricity or running water considering the fact that they were severely in debt and
had little options left the owners reached out to tafer for some guidance when he finally arrives
the famous rescuer brings the staff to an off-site location to get a taste of jonathan's food
obviously he's accompanied by his trusty experts with chef anthony lamas and mixologist rob floyd
being the ones to join him this time around deciding to order one of everything on the
menu they start things off with a sangria that has beautiful tropical colors which they loved
they also received an interesting sushi fusion meal that impressed chef lamas with its unique
flavor combinations on top of this they eat some dumplings and a chicken dish as well as drink some
fresh lemonade which were all lovely hoping to see how knowledgeable the staff is they ask gabriella
to explain a dish and she does so with elegance overall Taffer and his team were quite impressed
with their skills but pointed out that they should have checked in with them while they were eating
to ask about the food heading into the venue's kitchen to give his feedback Taffer praises the
owner for his fantastic culinary abilities what's more despite the fact that the building they were
using was only temporary jonathan still managed to pull in a crowd which should be a testament to his
skill now that most of their recon was complete the last thing left to do was to see shibo so they
could assess what needed to be done thankfully the damages seemed to be pretty minimal but the place
was in desperate need of cleaning due to the lack of funds the owners admit that the business has
been severely neglected which explains why the produce had gone bad and why there was a vermin
infestation other than the fact that the place was filthy the restaurant still had working equipment
which was great clearly all that shibo needed was to be cleaned up remodeled and stocked with new
inventory which is exactly what the famous rescuer planned to help them with before they jumped
into the usual stress test expert mixologist rob floyd taught the staff how to make edgier drinks
finally launching the stress test the shebo team was challenged to serve drinks at a quick pace and
jonathan was asked to come out and greet guests overwhelmed the bartender started things off
poorly making the drinks one at a time so a lot of the drinks ended up being dumped catching word of
the drink situation the owner attempted to gather the staff for an impromptu meeting but to no avail
to make up for his staff's poor performance jonathan meets with his guests but is forced to
eventually shut down the restaurant fast forward to near the end of the episode after the staff
was trained even further kafir moved straight into the renovations aside from the branding they had
placed on the exterior some japanese lettering was added to the outside which read we get up again
on the inside everything was modernized and made to feel more inviting they also received tons of
great equipment post bar rescue the owners reveal that they open the restaurant five nights a week
and are slowly getting back to pre-hurricane level it's still open to this day and rocks a solid four
stars on chip advisor with many praising the food but others complaining about the service
