The Bar Rescue star dishes out a meal we'd be happy to receive at an airport.

—a fancy French technique that’s essentially putting food in a plastic bag and cooking it in a bath of hot water. You know, Applebees style. Soft foods abound.a bewildering thicket of sugar that all looks so awful that I literally cannot decide. So I choose the “Taffer’s Tasters,” a flight of four popular drinks, one of which turns out to be blue.

Before our food arrives, a suited publicist descends on our table and reminds us of the ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow. Oh, there’s a ribbon cutting? Yes, and Mayor Bowser was slated to attend, but regrettably she’s busy. A deputy mayor and a couple of council members plan to go in her place, alongside Taffer himself, who is literally rolling out a red carpet in front of the restaurant.

“Do you want to be a pirate or do you want to send your daughter to college?” Taffer shouts at the crestfallen owner, who obviously wants to be a pirate.burning the Corporate Bar and Grill logoIt’s bewildering how mean Taffer is to this endearing crew of misfits who dress and talk like pirates. How can any man shout so much? Then I remember when hethat Covid relief had made his employees unruly.

I appreciate the local foodie scene dunking on this place unmercifully.

Taffer could’ve struck gold if he picked a spot on the Hill. Would’ve been the go to place for the conservative crowd. Doubt it lasts 2 years in China town unless it becomes a tourist trap.

LiveByTheSWard this review is a masterpiece

For the same price you’d likely pay at the airport, too!

Utah’s liquor board issues three bar licenses, while warning other bars about too many violationsUtah liquor commissioners warn they may have to ration bar licenses. After giving out three on Tuesday, DABS has only two left to give in 2022. This is insanity… for Utah State Legislature to constantly avoid fixing this problem is ridiculous 'Utah liquor commissioners warn they may have to ration bar licenses.' Let me fix that for you 'Utah liquor commissioners are jumping at the chance to ration bar licenses.' I hate this so much. Rules everyone knows are dumb that we enforce as though they're not. Small business shut down and UT revels in having 0 social scene.
