In my most favorite episode of Bar Rescue ever, Jon’s ability to adjust his understanding of a situation based on the information he receives is on full display and harkens memories of the old days when the show didn’t have such perfectly designed and executed procedures and felt like all hell was going to break…

In my most favorite social media post ever, Jon shares a Throwback Thursday Taffer Tries It episode he originally posted on June 30, 2023.

In my least favorite episode of Bar Rescue ever, Jon takes a break from hosting because he “can’t be everywhere at once.” I would never begrudge Jon the opportunity to pursue anything he wants during his precious time on earth, but I will cry and cry and cry like an inconsolable baby every time he…
