purple is good thumbs up hello all right so we're gonna get some let's start off with the grog a regular or top shelf all depends on how groggy you want to feel the next day i'd like to feel rather groggy please i then got with the regular then it was like a rum soda i don't know okay really bad it was uh it was nasty what's the first catch fred's cash uh let me check fresh catch today mahi yeah yeah mahi yes mahi fresh mahi's fresh yes the fresh catch was like frozen i don't know pond bass or something like that it was nasty oh my god that's just that was so gross it was a disgusting chunk of white smelly i couldn't even take a bite this sucks is this your grog news we're honestly struggling a little bit is this fresh that's got to be frozen fish is it frozen if it's the maje entree it is yeah it's fresh well it wasn't put on the plate it wasn't put on the grill this really was a terrible terrible dining experience the worst i've ever had was horrid we just got to get out of here just do this yeah he should be bringing you back to bell and i did take some stuff off your bill and i apologize that things weren't up to par we're working on it after an hour inside pirates tavern bill and jen emerged to report their findings first of all thanks for doing this for me guys absolutely what'd you think it's tough in there the staff was really odd it was uncomfortable how bad was the food the food was disgusting there was a mahi and it was supposed to be fresh they were frozen products no truth in menu what'd you have to drink i started off with the grog and i mean it was just it was disgusting i think that they really believe that's a good product to be serving so you think they think they did it right i do believe that yes well i'll tell you guys this is a strange one because it runs deep it's more than just food more than just beverage there's a cultural thing in this business that's killing it all right guys i'm going to work all right that's good take care john heads into pirates tavern to meet with owner tracy about what he's learned hello i'm john tuffer welcome to pirates traverse nice to be here were you busy i think my place speaks for itself yes sit down and talk for a few minutes okay the problem with this bar is the concept it's a pirate bar in silver spring maryland corporate people don't want to go have lunch at a pirate bar when do you get good at running this place because you're not good at it now you know that your food stinks right i mean i sent my recon people in a couple into pirate suits really yes you count their entire food didn't you yes the fresh fish was frozen it was a lie but you sit before me saying this is your dream that's true i'm realizing i might not be able to fix this park if tracy doesn't change the way she thinks she will fail i need you to come clean with me trey okay are you ashamed no you're not ashamed no well if you are not ashamed of what you serve tonight to people then i'm gonna tell you you should close this place now if you're not ashamed by the fact that you have men you lies that you're serving food that is undercooked what makes you ashamed i have an establishment that i believe you're not ashamed of what you're doing then i can't help you because you're never going to have pride in it that guy talked like that yeah are you ashamed of the food that was served tonight the food is good your food is the worst i've ever seen it stinks i don't think so really yeah well you should stop cooking tomorrow and not cook anymore your food stinks no hot butter glam about that let me explain something to you she had to buy them your dinner tonight because you blew it because the the customer no you blew it and how dare you put her i cleaned my hand too i got my work cut out for me you're a fool man you're a fool i cannot succeed i can't fix this bar until these people accept that they're failing so i heard last year you lost two hundred thousand overall and our food and beverage looks like and you know my job is to identify some problems correct and then fix them for you so i want to introduce you to somebody at the bar okay frank terrell hi frank how are you all about your maintenance very beautiful frank is the owner here and terrell is one of my experts and one of the best bartenders in the area and i wanted you to hear her report so how did we do i ordered the pina colada it was so sweet that i mean i didn't taste the liquor it was very very sugary the frozen drinks it's a test trial it's a little bit less expensive the product right what was the worst thing that happened to you i wanted to hear it well i found hair in the food i found a haircut that was my biggest thing let me tell you what i saw on camera she's playing with her hair which she's holding the food yeah actually we don't get too many complaints about the food at all is this great we don't have too many complaints about our frozen drinks either he says people don't complain in this bar i say bull if they didn't complain they would have come back chef capon accompanies john to see what frank and chef berry have cooking what do we got obviously everything should be dated we also should make sure that even everything saran wrap when you don't wrap things up they actually take on the taste of a refrigerator sometimes when we're busy in and out so you know how it is what is this you see this you know what it is i don't have that in my fryer yeah because maybe not running a busy restaurant no disrespect to the bamboo tiki bar i'm running a busy restaurant it's french fries that's ass that's ass yeah it's bass that's ass okay garbage there's grease dripping out of the hood this thing's not wrapped up things aren't dated there's garbage everywhere and barry just keeps telling me how often he cleans the kitchen but i'm looking at him like who are you trying to get here guy the sludge from the gas this will catch on fire guys this this clean big man this this is something like over you know over the day it's not clean but what i'm saying is i'm saying it's clean i don't want to hear excuses it's not clean this is not clean what i'm telling you this clean you're telling me that's cool i'm telling you that i'm telling you you're blind you have grief look okay into your saute pad but i'm telling you not clean tonight it's clean when we finish work up in here frank's excuses and lack of caring have rubbed off on his staff since he doesn't care if the place is clean why should they clean it clean it now okay it's gonna fit now okay he's good he's gonna clean he's our owner mr dimples what's interesting about sal is he's been doing this about 50 years because you've done something for a long time doesn't necessarily make you good at it yeah there's roberto roberto he's our head cooked brian it's a young lad himself also not a spring chicken sure there's terry the dj i understand he's worked here 12 years there's kim she's our head bartender she's been there 10 years guys and last but not least there's elle and that was our cocktail waitress and she is our junior new employee two years let me just get a burger how do you want it cooked uh medium okay so we got a club sandwich no pos system so they're handwriting checks so is there a concern of how long the check's been in all right got it all right great cool oh at least we're gonna cook our bacon you know what this guy's doing right after he touched the raw bacon on the cutting board bingo health violation there we go there's the batteries it's frozen we're gonna it's freezer burning what does it take to cook a burger patty a medium burger eight minutes [Music] so the burger has yet to move hasn't even touched it yet all right jason yeah 99 11. what is this a karaoke bar or a bingo hall did you just hear that how's everyone doing out there come on show me what you're gonna do to the burger there brother leave it where it is just right there don't touch that good you're good man please turn the burger roberto dude flip the burger flip the burger this guy won't flip this burger yeah see now you've got all the grease and all the fat and we have a burger that's a medium burger that's been on the grill for 13 minutes i'm dying to see when he takes a bite of that burger i want to hear the crunch here's the epitome of bad karaoke production this is a nice guy he came here to spend his money and his voice is terrible this is where you make the guy sound [Music] love good you rock man i love you because you rock because you have a 24 minute check time [Music] okay quite a bit overcooked maybe because it was cooked for 15 minutes on one side [Music] birdo i'm john taffer hello how are you nice to meet you nice to meet you too i saw you put a hamburger on the grill yeah and i watched you for 14 minutes not turn that hamburger over the hamburger was burnt the guests couldn't eat it the reason why you're not selling food i think is that you're lazy and for a guy who's been working in a kitchen 19 years you know better no this is not the army okay don't talk to me like that let me tell you what he does now he goes into the refrigerator he pulls out a raw piece of bacon puts it on a cutting board with your bare hands raw pork then a couple of minutes later he puts the salad right on top from where the pork was you didn't wash your hands you didn't watch it no you didn't die every time when you put raw pork on lettuce and send it out in the dining room what happens roberto oh yeah it gets contaminated it's irresponsible and it's illegal in 19 years nobody got sick here you don't know that food poisoning can happen in an hour or it can take days roberto has cross contamination all over this kitchen so i don't know how many people have gotten sick here this device measures bacteria content on surfaces okay so the only thing so this device is gonna check and i'm gonna see right now whether we're getting people sick or not any count over 2500 is a failure i'm just touching surfaces that a hand would touch we have 199 308 counts of bacteria which is a failing grade so guess what you're doing tonight you're cleaning the kitchen
