Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
The Tavern closed not too long after the 'rescue' - maybe 5 years ago?
Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
Never saw that episode. How was it?

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
TUFF played there 1x... soon after that make-over.
Ripper was very cool and got up on stage and did "You Got Another Thing Comin'" with us.

Tim Owens’ Traveler’s Tavern closed for good in September, 2016, around one year after the original Ripper’s Rock House Bar Rescue visit.
At the time of its closure, it had a solid 3.5 star rating on Yelp.

I went to the bar he owned right before that. Ripper Owen's Tap House. It was a shithole.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
Read an interview with Ripper about this episode and he said there was no tension at all. That bar guy was nice as could be the entire time he was there and once they started rolling he'd yell. They shut off the cameras and be like, "This is going really good guys!"
Fake ass show but yeah, I have to admit, I get suckered into watching garbage like this. Restaurant Impossible is another guilty pleasure.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
I'm not sure why the food is so bad in Ohio, is it because the culinary highlight is Cincinnati Chili??
Ranked dead fucking last in this list >

Ohio
52. Cincinnati Chili (Ohio)
For the mercifully unacquainted, "Cincinnati chili," the worst regional foodstuff in America or anywhere else, is a horrifying diarrhea sludge (most commonly encountered in the guise of the "Skyline" brand) that Ohioans slop across plain spaghetti noodles and hot dogs as a way to make the rest of us feel grateful that our own shit-eating is (mostly) figurative. The only thing "chili" about it is the shiver that goes down your spine when you watch Ohio sports fans shoveling it into their maws on television and are forced to reckon with the cold reality that, for as desperately as you might cling to faltering notions of community and universality, ultimately your fellow human beings are as foreign and unknowable to you as the surface of Pluto, and you are alone and always have been and will die alone, a world unto yourself unmarked and unmapped and totally, hopelessly isolated.
But wait! This abominable garbage-gravy isn't just sensorily and spiritually disgusting—it's culturally grotesque, too! What began as an ethnic curio born of immigrant make-do—a Greek-owned chili parlor that took its "Skyline" name from its view of the city of Cincinnati—is now a hulking private-equity-owned corporate monolith that gins up interest in its unmistakably abhorrent product by engineering phony groups of "chili fanatics" to camp out in advance of the opening of new chains, in locations whose residents would otherwise see this shit-broth for what it is and take up torches and truncheons to drive it back into the wilderness.
Whatever virtue this bad-tasting Z-grade atrocity once contained derived from its exemplification of a set of certain cherished American fables—immigrant ingenuity, the cultural melting pot, old things combining into new things—and has now been totally swamped and consumed by different and infinitely uglier American realities: the commodification of culture; the transmutation of authentic artifacts of human life into hollow corporate brand divisions; the willingness of Americans to slop any horrible goddamn thing into their fucking mouths if it claims to contain some byproduct of a cow and comes buried beneath a pyramid of shredded, waxy, safety-cone-orange "cheese."
Cincinnati chili is the worst, saddest, most depressing goddamn thing in the world. If it came out of the end of your digestive system, you would turn the color of chalk and call an ambulance, but at least it'd make some sense. The people of Ohio see nothing wrong with inserting it into their mouths, which perhaps tells you everything you need to know about the Buckeye State. Don't eat it. Don't let your loved ones eat it.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
My favorite chili story is definitely Wildside playing Cadillac Club in Fresno 1992
5$ dollar ticket on Wednesday with 1$ chili bowls
To this day I listen to Under The Influence eating chili
all those food shows are sports entertainment-good fun
Seems like bar rescue did a show for place on Redondo Pier
I can’t imagine ever visiting Ohio

Cincinnati Chili is fucking amazing. Literally 4 out of 5 people I've told to try while passing through the area loves it. The other stupid 20% hate it.

Cincy Chili is NOT the best food in Ohio. That list is fucked.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
Some of the pictures of Cinci chili looked like it was overloaded with cheese. Hope it's a valid option to hold the cheese.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
I got addicted to this show during the pandemic and watched every episode! This is one of the first episodes I ever saw.
I was never there myself but it looked like a good little metal/biker bar. Part of the makeover was a cool "wings around the world" concept where they had a ton of different sauces. I recommend checking it out. I think it's on Paramount Plus.

I’ve had it several times. Always served covered in cheddar cheese. I like it.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
I call it Cleveland chili but ya its just chili on spaghetti noodles. Works great as a hangover cure. My parents have eaten at Skyline and they said their chili sucks though.
I'll catch that episode but thing is I can't fucking stand Jon Taffer. Wasn't there an episode where he almost got his ass kicked? That was awesome.

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
The Irish eat their chili on rice, which I found weird at first but can tolerate now. Much better than on spaghetti...

Re: Ripper Owens - Bar Rescue
You can. I order it "inverted". They put the cheese on the plate first, then the spaghetti noodles and the chili on the top. That way the cheese gets melted.
Anyway, my wife is from the Philippines . She hates Skyline, but our daughter loves it. We sent cans of it to the Philippines and her family loved it and asked if we could send more.
I don't like Gold Star chili, but Skyline is good. My favorite Cincinnati food would be LaRosas pizza though.
On St Patrick's day, Skyline serves the chili with green spaghetti.
