- [Jon] How bad is that?

- I think this is the worst one that we've seen.

This is dry vermouth. - Oh my God.

- [Mia] Dry vermouth should look clear.

(intense music)

Anybody want to drink that?

(intense music)

- Why don't we all take a quick peek in the kitchen?

Let's see what's going on in there.

(intense music)

Much better.

- We took all these out, completely out

and cleaned the walls.

- This is a good start, you agree?

- I agree.

- You can breathe in this room now.

- Yeah. - Yes, yes.

- Let's take a walk through real quick.

- All right, let's go.

- We stayed till the wee hours last night,

the staff was incredible

and was happy to have Jon come in,

and see the work we put in.

- Come on in.

It stunk when I stood here before now it doesn't.

(intense music)

Cool.

(intense music)

What is this?

(intense music)

We've got a serious problem here guys.

- Oh man! - Wow!

- Look at that, they're going up the whole damn wall.

(intense music)

Your building is coming down in front of us

for Christ sakes.

Just when I thought we were clean all ready to train,

wham mo, I get hit with something else.

Now we have another roadblock.

We gotta leave the building.

Let's get an exterminator in here.

Let me get this assessed

and let's see what the hell we can do about this guys.

This is a huge problem.

This bar is infested with ants.

I have to call an exterminator, see if I can solve it

and if I can even train inside.

What do we got?

- Argentine ants, so they're foraging.

They're just trying to invade the bar.

So we gotta go ahead and treat the exterior.

- Okay. - And then treat the interior.

- No issues selling food in here once you guys are done?

You can get this under control, it's safe?

- Everything will be safe. - Okay.

- Good news. - Problem solved.

Thank you guys.

Thankfully, I had a great exterminator come.

We did eradicate the problem.

(intense music)

- They're gone.

- So I wanna to go to work because tonight

I still have to have a stress test.

- [Jon] This is more of an age fashion than an old fashion.

- Oh, hold on.

Wait sir, hold on.

That's a hot mess, I know.

I don't have a well, you see if I have the well right here,

I'll just set the ice.

- Knowing there there wasn't a well here

but then brought everything to make it here

and now was having to run back and forth.

- Excuse me, coming through.

All right guys, sorry about that.

(intense music)

Bad. - No balance it.

- It's just straight whiskey. - Give it a taste,

tell me what you think guys?

- Five being the best, one being the worst.

What do you give it?

- Three because he smiled.

- So if I didn't get him to smile, he would've gotten a one.

- Man, I made it with love.

- You made with love, but you still (beep) up,

you understand that.

(patrons laugh)

I'd like you to go down to the well

and make three old fashions properly,

down there so now there's no freaking excuses.

It's all on you.

I don't know what he's smiling about,

to be honestly with you because if that was me,

I'd be pretty freaking embarrassed.

- One, two, three, four, five --

- Hold it, hold it. - One, two, three, four, five.

Stop!

Freaking bugs in this bottle.

(audience gasps) (intense music)

- [Woman] Just so you know.

- Oh my God.

- Rob, come back here.

- We've been closed for three months guys.

- Would everybody look in your glasses,

does anybody see bugs in their drinks?

- Oh my god (beep).

- That's my worst nightmare.

- [Jon] What else has them back here?

(intense music)

- (beep) bugs.

- Anybody drinking this, stop if you are.

(intense music)

Look at all this, check the other back bar,

you guys are pouring from those.

- (sighs) This is a nightmare.

- And a few of you got a few bugs with it.

There's no systems here.

There's an old cash register, no POS system.

There's one speed well, there wasn't too.

I've seen what I need to see.

I'm actually impressed.

They served almost everybody in the room in a half hour

till the bugs came out.

- It's been a rough one.

We had bugs in the bottles, we have no consistency.

I think it's best to shut it down now and get to work.

- If I can have your attention?

I wanna thank everybody for coming out,

we do have some problems to fix though.

I wanna welcome everybody back, we'll get this right.

We'll be on point even better than today.

(patrons applauds)

Bugs in the bottles man that was horrifying.

That was absolutely horrifying,

I'm embarrassed. - Pull the plug.

Now I wanna talk to the staff.

I wanna expose all the problems we had tonight

and I wanna talk to Steve about the future of this bar.

What do you think?

- The biggest problem with today was the bugs,

I'm ashamed about that.

- You had plenty of time to check the bottles

before opening yet customers

were drinking fruit flies all day.

- What is the one thing I've been on you the whole time,

what do we do every week in this building?

- Check the bottles.

- Check the bottles.

So we've been closed and it's not an excuse,

I should know better.

- Operationally, other than that, what do you think?

- Louis, he knows how to make an old fashioned, he choked.

- It's not the first time Louis choked is it.

- [Steve] No it's not.

(intense music)

- Look at this (beep) place.

There are bugs everywhere.

I seen bugs or two in kitchens, brother.

You got bugs underneath.

You got colonies of bugs underneath.

Heads with wings bro.

You got bugs everywhere, bro.

Bugs by your tools that you use to feed people.

- [Cook] I didn't even notice them.

- You didn't notice them? - You see how trash

this kitchen is. - Bro,

do you see bugs right here?

- [Cook] Yeah, I see them now.

- You're making people sick but you don't give a damn.

- I do. - No.

- That's crazy. - Here allow me.

Let me scrape them all together.

- I see them, I see them, that's gross.

- That hand was sitting over there

with all of the utensils on it.

So he picked up his tongs and worked off of this all night,

as you sat outside and smoked.

Do you understand how (beep) pissed I am

that you would serve this food to people?

- I'm honestly appalled.

- Do you understand how (beep) irresponsible that is, Rod?

- Yeah.

- Do you wanna get people (beep) sick?

- Oh no, no no.

- What are you doing man?

- I didn't see it.

- See, here's the deal.

I will save your ass and I will dig you out of the hole

that you've dug yourself into

but I will not work in this kitchen.

So guess what you're doing all (beep) night.

- I don't know. - You're cleaning

your (beep) damn kitchen.

(Ron chuckles)

There better not be one (beep) ant here in the morning.

He is a disgrace to our industry.

Clean your (beep) damn kitchen, let's get outta here.

(intense music)

Rod, let's go.

What'd you see?

- Jon, besides all the (beep) flutter back here.

What pisses me off the most, can you do me a favor

and look into these bottles for me

and tell me that you're serving your guests (beep) bugs?

- What?

- They're floating around,

we can get a flashlight.

- [Woman With Colored Hair] You're not lying (beep).

- No, I'm not lying, that's (beep) ridiculous.

- This is foul, it's bad, it's disgusting

and you don't know it.

- I don't know that much about the bar business.

- But you've been in it for two (beep) years.

(Rod chuckles)

Stop (beep) drinking, stop partying

and start doing something. - Okay.

- Let's get out of here.

This kitchen is infested with bugs

and so are the liquor bottles.

Tonight I expect Rodney's staff to clean this bar

so tomorrow I can train in it.

We proved that the town is working, the other bars are full.

- Yeah.

- We saw that he's empty. - Yep.

- The question is what can they do in their fault?

So we got about 100 people, we begged them to come.

So are they gonna seize it and make money

or are they gonna totally blow it?

So there we got owner Mike, look at him.

- As an owner or manager, I don't understand how

you're getting slammed.

You're just still sitting there in the corner.

As an owner, you see that you're in go mode.

- There's Jen.

- Wait no, I'm sorry.

My brain's fried right now.

- Going out with Brian, the promotion manager.

This is Michael.

Michael's been here about seven years.

- Lemme me double check.

- So Jen now has eight people at the bar.

She's making drinks, how many at a time, Phil?

- One. - One.

- [Jon] So all of these people are gonna wait.

- Thanks so much.

- The guy eight drinks back is gonna wait 10 minutes or so

for that drinks. - At least.

- I like your eye makeup that's a really nice color.

- I feel like she's carrying on a conversation

with one person.

- Oh wow.

- You have to be friendly but you can't focus on one person

for 15 minutes if your bar slammed.

- You gotta get while the getting's good right now.

- She just dumped the drink into the shaker

and dumped it back in the glass.

So there's no shake in it, there's no mixing.

- So there's one of our recon girls.

Jezel and Amy went in there

and I gave them smartphones so they can take videos for us

and really evaluate the business.
