B Is For Razor posted:I've lived five minutes away from Rythm and Brews for over 15 years and I've literally never seen a group of motorcycles outside the place. The bar mostly did "Battle of the Bands" shows with young lovely local bands. I haven't been to the new place but Taffer was totally off base when it comes to the actual demo of the neighborhood so I don't see it lasting long tbh. It's like they saw some big houses in Tottenville or Todt Hill and were like "yeah lets pretend the entire borough is like this." I haven't been to Rhythm and Brews for years, but I never saw a biker there. I stopped going because it was a shithole, not because it was dangerous.

Taffer sure thinks he's clever for coming up with that "El Moron-te" crack.

Does Taffer just not give a poo poo about his recon anymore? He was just laughing with his experts about how someone will get sick eating that while they eat it. I've seen him loving storm places and knock it out of their hands for worse.

That bathroom game is ridiculous, but I'd go there just to play it. Between that and the smokey shots and the grilled cheese challenge, they really put a lot of unique stuff into this one compared to others.

I do not understand making people who can't make a drink one at a time flame orange peels for garnish at all, but the smoked glasses are a cool idea for a firehouse-themed bar, and that grilled cheese looked awesome.

Near the end when Taffer sticks his head through a door and asks how are we doing, for just a second I thought he was talking about the urinal game. Also I want a Jacked up grilled cheese.

Could someone please describe this grilled cheese to me. I had to tap out about halfway because they all seemed terrible and I hope that place burns to the ground while they're forced to watch

Starts with some kind of "hot shot". The sandwich has regular cheese, then transfers to either pepper jack, some kind of ghost pepper cheese, or a combination of both, and the last bite has some kind of hot sauce bite. If you can get to the end without drinking the milk, you get a shirt. The shirt's no big deal, but the sandwich looked tasty.

The ghost peppers are in the 800k-1million scoville range, which is really loving hot.

It starts with regular cheese at the front, ghost pepper cheese at the end, with both cheeses in the middle. The last bite has a dollop of ghost pepper sauce. The idea is that it gets progressively hotter as you eat it. It's made on hoagie bread so you can't just wolf it down.

The Piratz episode is so much better if you buy into the theory that the awful CORPORATE re-branding was just a huge middle finger to everyone there But given how bad most of the re-brandings have ended up being it was probably serious ALSO something I found out a full year ago but maybe many people don't know: Y'all remember that bad Irish pub in Philly from season one? And how the guy's brother "died," and he and Taffer had a heart-to-heart? Well that guys brother actually tried to murder his mom and then killed himself at the pub, IIRC right on that balcony where Taffer threw all the chairs onto the street. Really adds a whole new perspective to that episode ANYONE, since I guess for the time being this is the general business rescue show, people need to watch the "Rotting Woodstock" episode from the new season of Hotel Impossible. Because That ep:Hotel Impossible::ABC Baking:Kitchen Nightmares Toilets that aren't sealed to the floor? Caving in roofs? Open, rusting septic tanks? Asbestos?

I have a theory on why so many of the rebrandings seem bad. For a lot of the owners their biggest obstacle seems to be their own ego and dreams. The lovely rebranding is Taffer forcing them to kill their baby and forcing them to approach the new least common denominator concept as actual businesspeople.

I think with Piratz, in particular, he had to go to another extreme. If he'd done something ever so slightly related to the previous concept, they would have stuck to their old habits. Of course they went back to their ridiculous concept anyway, but that was a case where just telling them to give up would have been the best option.

Hell, getting them to run the thing with some sanitation and hygiene would have been a winner. You're in a food and drink related service, for gently caress's sake, filth is a BAD thing!

Also, while edited it seemed like Taffer's bar and kitchen experts were working during the relaunch, which would be a huge help. Although really with some practice the staff would learn the new stuff pretty quickly. BUT what caught my eye was Really Jon? 3 huge brothers with hot tempers, anger management problems and a bar full of alcohol - you don't see a potential problem with this 'decoration' ?!

I'm sure there's plenty of other "weapons" around that would be just as deadly as a couple axes. Knives, busted bottles, stools, etc.

Yes firemen are famous for carrying a bit of a broken beer bottle in case they need to quickly break down a door or smash through a wall.

If a bar argument heats up, it's more likely that someone will smash a beer bottle and stab you with it than tear the two fire axes off the wall where they're nailed, then un nail them from one another then split your head open with one. If the person you've angered is that dumb, use the ten minutes they'll spend loving around with a pry bar to run the gently caress away,

As for thost ominous changes... (warning spoilers for next week in the article) Philly.com posted:The former Lickety Split - a two-level pizzeria and bar at Fourth and South Streets - is downplaying its Taffer-developed "Alleged Pizza" motif. Management stripped away the Alleged window decorations and restored the TV that blares ESPN. On the second floor, renamed 2nd State Lounge, drink specials are gone and comedy nights and music acts have been reinstituted.
