Jon Taffer visits two guys who made a drunken decision to open a bar despite no experience and faces a series of problems that managed to get worse by the minute.
This work contains examples of:
- From Bad to Worse: Practically the theme of the episode peaks when he finds a broken floorboard
- Gargle Blaster: Their Inception Shot is more of a drinking game than a drink, and there's so much alcohol it's actually illegal to serve more than one.
- Lethal Chef: The chef nearly served Taffer's daughter nachos cross-contaminated with raw chicken.
- Serial Escalation: To say the problems got worse throughout the episode would be more accurate than exaggeration. To list: The owner was so disrespectful to his staff the manager opened a competing bar stealing most of his clients, they served drinks that had more alcohol in one drink than could be legally served, the food was served in a cross-contaminated environment, the bartenders were not trained properly and were expected to buy cleaning products with their own money, viscous sludge had built up in the hood and was raining down on food, and the coup de grâce was a broken support beam holding up the floorboard that, if not caught, would cause the floor to cave in and could've killed several people.
