- What would you like?
- I want two nachos, but also like a hamburger.
What do you want?
- The chicken strips and fries.
- Okay. - Okay?
- All right.
- Let's take a look in the kitchen.
Louie's never done this before.
So what do you see, anything?
That is no gloves on his hands.
- Nope, there's no gloves.
- So do you know what it's like for a place to be clean?
To be right, do you think this bar is clean?
- No.
- It's a complete shit hole, isn't it?
That's his nacho cheese, look at the sides of it, all brown.
You see the chunks in it?
Those are chunks of burnt cheese,
and that's not even real cheese, that's mostly oils.
- You just see that.
- It's fake cheese. - Yeah.
- That's the cheapest of the cheap.
So let me ask you a question.
You know how to run a kitchen.
You know that the bar should be clean and organized.
Why won't they let you manage?
- Cause they have to be in charge.
She has to be in charge at all times.
- Regardless of your experience?
- Correct. - Okay.
- It's been almost a half an hour.
- We're on it.
We've got one cook, I apologize, but we're on it.
- The nachos, which would come out in five minutes.
- I need a shot.
- Oh my gosh.
- I'm telling me to have a shot.
That or I'll cry.
So a shot of tequila, or a meltdown.
- All right, thank you. - Thank you folks.
- Thanks.
- I can't wait until he tastes the burger.
- Terrible, yeah.
- Man, I'm only eating these fries cause I'm starving,
but they're not very good.
- I don't know how you call those nachos.
- It's close to over Sarah.
- Right, I know.
- I want you to walk in with me.
I want to confront her.
Let's go in and see what's going on.
- I am going to sit.
And have a drinky drink.
- Okay, so where's the owner?
- I seen Jon walk in the door and I'm like-
Got your ID on you?
- Do I look under 35 to you?
- "Can I have your ID please?"
- Thank you.
What are you crying about?
The fact that your bar's a shit hole?
And the fact that you've done nothing about it?
Does that bother you?
You're in a real estate business right?
- Yes.
- Before you show a house, do you clean it?
- Yes.
- Before you show a house, do you stage it?
- Yes.
- Would you show this?
Look at this fricking place,
there's scotch tape on the walls, staples everywhere.
Look at this shit hole!
- It's a shit hole.
- Who's shit hole is it?
- Mine? - Why?
- Honestly, I'm inexperienced.
- So have you gone on YouTube and watched videos?
- Yes.
- How many videos did it take you
to learn that the place should be clean?
- In all honesty, it didn't take any.
- You certainly know how to find a shot.
Why don't you know how to find a broom?
Have you ever run this before?
- No, I have not.
- Okay, so a guy who's never done this before,
goes to somebody else who's never done it before.
Said the blind leads the blind,
and there's only one person in this building
who knows what they're doing.
Who is it?
- Sarah.
- Sarah!
Are you this ignorant?
That you would hire somebody
more ignorant than you to run it,
and then stand here with these fricking wires,
and this filth, unmatching chairs, look this (beep) place!
What are they doing, Chef?
- You would think they're splitting the atom
with how much work they're putting into this.
- Look at the cutting board, Chef.
- Cutting board, no gloves.
There's raw chicken on his cutting board,
with his knife, with his towel.
- All over his hands.
All over the handle. - Oh my God.
I'm curious where his hands go next.
So he's touching chips now with his
raw chicken and beef hands.
- Covered in chicken.
And this is all happening right in front of DJ.
- Oh man.
- Okay, now he's got chicken all over everything.
- This is actually yours, so your chicken nachos.
- Chicken nachos?
- He's sending out raw food with her.
We got to stop this, Chef.
In all my years, I've rarely seen such gross negligence
as I see in this kitchen.
I'm going to go in and give DJ a few choice words.
Stop!
I would not eat that.
There's raw chicken all over this.
There might be raw chicken on your glasses.
Let's go check, Chef.
Where's DJ, are you DJ?
Okay, so this guy
is taking raw meat,
all over your hands, right?
With raw meat all over your hands,
he goes and touches the handle of this.
The containers over there.
This kitchen is covered in raw chicken and raw meat,
and you don't have a (beep) clue of what you're doing,
and you are watching him.
How the (beep) does that happen right in front of you?
- Hey, blood, you ready to do a live performance?
- Nah, hell nah.
- Y'all done turnt him up, blood.
- What the-
- They got me, (beep) up.
- Okay, who got you (beep) up?
- Y'all want to hear some rap, then hear me (beep).
Yeah, bitch, I'm from two, three.
They call me big two, three.
- I mean his freestyle was just weak.
- Tell yo bitch she can
suck this (beep).
- The problem is, that there's a woman sitting there,
with her mother.
- Now what?
- And he's talking about a blow job.
- Not only that,
but he done put them dirty ass butt cheeks all on the bar.
- You don't want to hear my music?
Get the (beep) out.
This my bar right now.
Shut your ass up.
- What the hell is he doing?
- Nah, that's over the top.
- You think that's cool?
- No, hell nah that ain't.
Shit, that's a case waiting to happen.
- Right, exactly right.
We got to run this more like a team, less like a family.
Does that make sense?
- Yeah.
- Everybody's got to hold up their own.
Everybody's got to fricking deliver
or as a team we lose.
You give them the opportunity,
now they got a fricking season.
- That's what time it is.
It's time to season.
- Man, you might've been a,
you might have been an all right coach in the league.
You got me ready to go and bust some (beep) heads right now.
- I want to go in, let's go in and talk to them.
- Ah, I (beep) yo (beep), 'cause yo (beep) ain't (beep).
She ain't (beep).
No we won't.
Cause I don't do that, you know what?
(crowd chattering)
- Excuse me, you busy?
- I'm busy, hell yeah I'm busy.
- Lets talk to him for a second.
How long does it take to pick this up?
This has been sitting here for a half hour.
How long does it take to pick those up?
Hold on, I'm not done.
- I'm not saying that.
- How about picking this up, for Christ's sakes.
So how many times do you walk by this
and not pick up anything?
- You wait till they finish eating.
- [Jon] I don't understand it, what do you do here?
- So I'm the only person in here?
- You walked by it ten times.
- No.
- This has been here long before I even got in the room.
So before I even came back here-
- That's right, even before, yes, even before.
- Bro, I didn't even walk back here, bro.
I'm not a server, I'm a bartender.
- You know, the more you talk,
the more of an idiot you sound like.
You walked by it and didn't do it.
- I aint walk by shit! - End of story.
- I don't want to hear it!
- How many times do I walk by this?
How many times do I walk by this?
How many times do I walk by that?
And expect you to keep writing checks?
- Well, look, I got the glasses, what are you doing?
- I had to tell you to.
Congratulations, you did something.
- What the (beep) are you talking about?
- Cause you (beep) up.
You (beep) up and he writes the check, is that fair?
- Why don't you do something?
- I am doing something!
I'm (beep) calling you out!
That's what I'm doing!
- Am I the only (beep) in here?
- Do better!
- Here you wanna beer shirt, here, hold on.
- Do better!
I'm calling you out!
- (Beep) you mean, you put this (beep) on here.
I'll show you something.
Somebody can actually work in this shirt.
Even though you didn't.
- What the (beep) you mean?
- Is this reasonable?
- At the end of the day, bro.
- So am I the only one here?
- Nah, I aint gonna lie to you though.
- I'm the only (beep) here though, aight.
- Check me out though cuz, check me out though cuz-
- He's the biggest screw up here that's all.
- Check me out though cuz.
The whole point of all the shit,
why he telling you what he telling you is
that's coming out of my pocket.
- [Jon] For recon tonight,
I got two really good friends of mine,
Justin and Sandra.
Justin is the creative director
for a major entertainment company.
- Do you do an Irish coffee?
- Yeah, you got it.
- And I understand the pineapple margaritas
are a special drink?
- Is that what we're doing here?
- That's what she said.
- Pineapple margarita, and do we have jalapenos cut up?
- No, but I'll go get some.
- Okay, yeah, we can do that.
- Oh, there's jalapenos in it?
- Yeah.
- They're actually using shot glasses
as units of measurement.
They're not using jiggers or bar tools.
- There's no training here. - No.
- You notice how the whipped cream is falling like that.
You know why, he didn't shake it.
- Nope.
- Look at the mess.
- It's all over his hands now.
- It tastes like water.
- Pretty hard to make a drink with coffee taste like water.
Coffee's got a pretty strong flavor.
- Yeah. - It has that bold flavor.
- [Jon] So that's Linda, she's working isn't she?
- Is she bar backing?
Is she, like is she a manager, a bar back,
or is she just all hands on deck?
- I think she's all hands on deck.
She is a manager,
but they don't know what their labor cost is,
their food cost.
So I'm not quite sure that you could call somebody a manager
who doesn't know those things.
- Well, I don't really taste any pineapple.
Is this a pineapple margarita?
- He should have given you a jalapeno-pineapple margarita.
What did you get?
- I just don't taste any pineapple,
and I don't taste any tequila.
- You don't take tequila or pineapple?
- No. - I'll fix it.
- You want the prime dip?
- Yeah that's what- - Prime rib dip?
- That's what she was recommending.
- Yeah, it's really good.
- I'd like the half rack of ribs.
- Half rack, half rack, okay.
- So Jon, I'm just a little confused about Riva.
- She's not helping anything. - No.
- So either she doesn't know, or she doesn't care.
- Exactly.
- She almost seems a little intimidated.
- Okay, so these are the ribs.
When were these made?
- Oh my goodness.
- What is the date on these?
- These are like petrified.
No date, no label.
Is that mold on those ribs?
- Ew!
- That is so scary.
- They're like boiled.
- That's the,
that's a silverware caddy.
That is a utensil holder.
There's meat in there.
- Oh, that's the prime rib.
- Oh, God!
Oh, that is disgusting.
- Chef, he can't eat this food.
- That is not serveable at all.
- So we need to find out when that was made.
We can't let Justin eat this food.
Go in, find out when this was made, stop this, okay?
- Yeah, I got it.
Jon sends me in to stop these ribs from being served.
Someone is 100% going to get sick, if not dead.
- I'll be back for the toast.
Right behind you Bridget.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Come here, come, come with me.
Bring those here.
Hey.
I'm one of Jon's experts, and we were just watching you.
Hold on, keep that right there, huh?
Excuse me for one second.
- Ew. - Oh my God!
- What, what is this?
You know, this is here,
and you're serving this shit, are you kidding me?
- I haven't been to work in three days, okay?
- I mean, Mike doesn't even understand
what the hell Jason is saying.
- Where do you, where do you-
- Look at this.
I want Rita to see this.
She's the one who needs to see this, I'll be back.
- All right.
- Congratulations.
You're the worst (beep) cook I've ever worked with.
- Ah, (beep) you.
Bitch ass (beep).
- I would not let them bring your food out.
If you ate that food, you would have gotten sick.
We stopped it in the kitchen, we're dealing with this now.
Riva, Linda?
Nice to meet you both, come with me.
Ask me, "Why are you mad, Jon," ask me!
- Why are you mad, Jon?
- Cause you're gonna (beep) kill somebody that's why.
This guy makes hamburgers with his hands.
Then he comes and picks up this knife,
now there's raw meat all over the knife.
Rubs his hand on this, there's raw meat all over this.
Touches the buns, cuts them with his hand,
raw meat all over everything in this kitchen!
This place is completely cross contaminated.
He's responsible in this kitchen,
but you're the owner, Riva.
You're responsible for him.
It's completely illegal.
Do you understand that?
- I'm not going to kill nobody.
- Yes you are, did you put on gloves?
Did you wash your hands once?
- Look at your film. - One time.
- Look at your (beep) film.
- I did, I've been watching you for a half hour.
This man should not be in here
if doesn't know what he's doing.
And he does not know what he's doing.
- You're such a dick.
- Let me ask you a question,
are you supposed to wash your hands
after you touch raw meat?
- Yeah. - Did you?
- Yes. - You did not!
- Look on the (beep) camera.
- You-
I will show you tomorrow, you're a (beep) liar.
You're gonna kill somebody.
(women moaning)
- Ah, you better not, you bitch!
- Oh my God!
- Put your ass in that face.
- What is happening?
- Oh, show me your boobs.
- Oh my God, guys, oh my God.
- No touchy, that's mine's girl.
- He's like those are mine-
- She likes my touch better.
- That would not make me comfortable, to be in that bar,
and I'm not being prudy like,
a topless bar would be better than this.
- Right.
- Because there are boundaries.
There's no boundaries here to make me feel safe.
- Patrick should be operating this place,
but as a manager,
all he does is look down.
He's a bar back.
He's not watching anything
going on in his world at all, is he?
- No.
- Whoo!
- So look at Sarah, Kev.
I mean, she's all over the place.
Unlike the other girls, who are selling shots and drinking,
when she's just drinking shots, screaming at people.
- Pound it, whoo!
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
- Stop (beep) playing.
- Bitch, bitch. - Get your drunk ass-
- Stop, bro, stop.
- Stop, get your bitch.
- She's combative with everybody in there.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Stop abusing me.
She better stop (beep) touching me, goddammit.
- Everywhere we look, she's in conflict with somebody.
- And her boyfriend is right there.
- Right. - Yeah.
- I mean, look at this guy, he looks so sad.
- Excuse me, I got to get by, I got to put dishes away.
No, you better not.
- It doesn't seem like they have
a lot of respect for him.
Him as a, as a manager.
- Why are you arguing with your manager, why?
- He's not my manager.
- That's his (beep) bar.
- It's not, it's his mom's.
- Oh my God.
- So he's not controlling the bar, is he?
- No. - No.
- He's just completely submissive to his environment.
- Yes.
But he's, but he's trying.
We've seen other bar owners just sit in the corner,
and play that game, or drink with their friends.
This guy's actually doing the work.
But he's broken.
- If he doesn't have the confidence
to stand up and say no to them,
and fight for the things that are right,
then he can't possibly succeed.
My objective is to save this kid.
- Hey sexy. - Hey.
(overlapping bar chatter)
- Oh.
- Okay.
- She just put her finger in her ass, oh my God.
What did we just see?
And she's going to serve people with those hands.
- Oh, so she hasn't washed her hands yet.
- I am horrified right now.
- I really want to throw up now.
- I've seen chaos, and fighting, and madness.
- Horses defecate in bars.
We've seen pirates.
We've never seen-
- I've seen a bartender stick her fingers in her butt.
- I wanted the two of you to go in.
- Okay. - I'm sorry, Maria.
In advance Kev, I'm sorry buddy.
- Anytime Jon calls us,
we're going to be there no matter what.
- Yeah, in a sick way, this is our date night.
It's true. - It is true.
- Oh, (beep) and welcome.
(woman screeching)
- Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
That girl was literally blowing her beer bottle.
(girls cheering)
- What are we looking at, Maria?
- Have you guys been helped yet?
- No. - No?
Aren't you famous?
- Hm? - Are you famous?
She looks like, um, oh my God.
What does she look like?
- She looks like,
she looks like Eva, no,
she looks like Eva Mendez and Eva Longoria
had a (beep) baby.
- No it's that one girl.
- This is insane.
- This is a freak show.
- All right, let's do a shot.
You're doing an ass shot, lay down this way.
- We're doing a what?
- Ass shot.
- What's an ass shot?
- I guess you're doing an ass shot.
- Why are you, this is not funny.
What's happening right now?
- You're doing an ass shot.
(crowd chanting ass shot)
- Are you high?
Oh my God, I'm not doing an ass shot out of someone's ass.
- Fine, get off the chair.
- This is crossing the line, I can't watch this.
- You do it!
- I would do the ass shot,
but they brought you the ass shot.
- Honey, go right ahead.
- What, how do you od the ass shot?
- Oh my God, no I didn't say to really do it.
- This is Jon Taffer, oh my God.
- Oh, okay, our friend has arrived.
- All right, I'm out.
- Take it!
- What the (beep).
