Struggling KC area bar "RGs Lounge" gets "Bar Rescue" visit
http://www.kansascity.com/2013/12/12...s-tvs-bar.html
A bar near the Truman Sports Complex has gotten a reality TV makeover, thanks to Spike TV’s “Bar Rescue” show. The series stars “renowned bar and nightlife expert” Jon Taffer, who with his crew swoops into a struggling bar, fixes its problems and gives it a new name and concept. In the case of RG’s Lounge, at 9100 E. 35th St. in Independence, the place gets renovated and is reportedly given the new moniker “BarCode.” That, we suppose, is the good news. The bad news is that in a preview of the episode (airing at 9 p.m. Sunday on Spike), RG’s beyond-grimy kitchen does not exactly invite business. It looks like the last place you want preparing your food. We’ll just assume that Taffer and “Bar Rescue” did a deep cleaning. The preview clip is also noteworthy for the number of bleeps, as Taffer and a cook scream and curse at each other over the condition of the kitchen. The dispute devolves into a shoving match. Spike TV sums up the episode, “Twin vs. Twin,” this way: “Jon is met by lights, sirens and handcuffs before he even enters the door of this Kansas City bar. Sibling rivalry between two identical twins with identically huge egos” — that’d be Randy and Rick Houser — “present Taffer with one of his toughest rescues yet.” Sunday’s episode is the second of three filmed in our area. An episode titled “Brawlin’ Babes,” shot at the former Long Shots in Grain Valley, premiered last Sunday. Catch a rerun of that one at 8 Sunday night, part of a “Bar Rescue” marathon on Spike. Long Shots has been renamed Badlands. When we checked in with RG’s, we learned that a “Bar Rescue” watch party starts at 7 p.m. Sunday. The public is invited.

Watching it right now... HOLY SHEEIT... what a bunch of dirty ****nuts.
The kitchen camera in the first five minutes? OMG... serving the straight up hammered black chick braying like a mule? OMG. I LOVE JOHN TAFFER, that guy knows how to run a bar. |
That black Chick gave Chiefs fans a good look. Jesus.
|
it was a good show.
|
Now that cook is mouthing and pushing Taffer, dude needs an elbow to the face first... and a firing second.
That dirty bacon baking tray with old, black grease running down it?... L.O.L... "it may not be perfect, but its clean!" |
Having extensive knowledge of two of these "rescues".. I can say without any doubt that they are 95% made up bullshit.

Went to RG's once- they played disco through a shitty sound system, they were rude and the place smelled like an armpit.
Thought they closed a long time ago? |
Amateurs CANNOT cry on cue the way sooo many of these bar owners do, AustinChief.

I can only comment definitively on the two bars in Austin (The Brixton and Headhunters) but I know all the people involved in both of those and there was almost nothing "real" about either. The only realistic thing was the Headhunters episode showing the owner to be a complete douche. Hell, in the Brixton episode they talked about Sara and Tim (the owners) wanting to have a baby and then at the end they put up text saying she was pregnant. #1 they have zero plans at the moment to have kids #2 she did NOT get pregnant. Sorry to be a buzzkill but it's mostly make believe. |

At any rate, i consider myself a pretty good judge of sincerity, and too many of these people are literally on the balls of their ass, imo. Quote:
