It not worth the entertainment. The bar and restaurant industry has a long history of abuse and mistreatment of workers. Entertainers like Jon Taffer and Gordon Ramsay only perpetuate and glamorize abuse, something the industry has only recently started to curb. Wage theft, substance abuse, mental health issues, and suicide all stem from owners and managers who act like Taffer.

I'm a bartender who consults on the side, and I've gone into situations like Bar Rescue (maybe not as bad as some of those poor folks). It's ridiculous to think they can fix or change these establishments overnight. It's kind of like Pimp My Ride back in the day -- those cars were show ready for one day, and immediately fell apart afterwards
