In Season 1, they (producers) focused primarliry on Customer service, bar floor plans, flow, etc...They did broach uncleanness of bar and kitchen, but didn't really push it all that much. I am only 3 episodes deep into Season 2, and I am appalled at how disgusting these 3 bars are. They have really done a 180 and focused on some of the most disgusting things you will ever see in a kitchen. These 3 are so bad that as of now, I am not officially boycotting any and all bars, restaurants, food trucks and anything else you can think of. I will NEVER dine out again. I rather just cook my own food from here on out.
I use to work in food service many years ago and I was borderline OCD when it came to clean up. I couldn't function if I thought something wasn't clean. So I of course just assumed that everyone else would have the same work ethic and respect that I put into my job and would do the same for their kitchens. Not so at all. Sure, I knew that people would cut corners and just be downright lazy. But not to the extent of bile and goo dripping from the overhead over or dead rats on the floor that has been sitting their for 6 months. UGH!
You know that anyone that agrees to 'Rescued' with this show has to sign a release form and that nothing gets censored. Personally, I would rather just let my Bar die instead of going on air and having the world know what a filthy, sh*tty job they are doing behind the scenes. I wouldn't be able to look anyone in the eye after my episode and dirty laundry was aired for all to see.
