Jon Taffer has opened the doors for Season 10 of Bar Rescue. The world-renowned hospitality kingpin doles out more tough love to struggling business owners. This round of episodes marks a milestone for Paramount Network’s long-running unscripted series. In 2011, Taffer found a successful recipe, bringing his no-nonsense approach to transforming food and drink establishments within local communities across the country. The show has endured despite network changes and a devastating pandemic.
Over the new installments, he’ll once again lean on field experts to lend their knowledge while crews work on aesthetics. Taffer also welcomes VIPs to the guest list, including Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and AEW pro wrestler and actress Mercedes Varnado (Moné). On his travel itinerary this time around include Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Before the February 22 premiere, we caught up with the busy businessman to reflect on Bar Rescue’s landmark and tease what’s next.
Has there been a fan of the show who has surprised you?
Yes, I was sitting in a restaurant in Hollywood, California. I was in a good friend’s restaurant, and Bette Midler came up to me at the table. She told me she watched my show every week. She said, “I love your show.” Then she bought me dessert. That was a shocker.
