Jon Taffer took to Twitter last night to answer questions during a brand new episode of Bar Rescue. This was the first time Taffer returned to a bar that he’d previously rescued, so most of the questions centered around that. We also get a taste of what he does on the side and what, if any, books he plans to release. Enjoy!
.@jontaffer‘s first re-rescue called for another #TafferTalk. Here are 12 things we learned last night. http://t.co/yll7hIE20W

1: Reckless ownership is why Second Base failed after the first rescue, and why it will continue to fail until Terry changes his ways.
@TylerCoolGuy88 @BarRescue No. I was hoping I would never have to! #TafferTalk

2: If you have good intentions and a formidable work ethic, Taffer will try to save your bar (in spite of your incompetent boss).
@Jeff_Clauson @BarRescue Because of the staff…..

3: See what Taffer did here?
@jabbryan97 @BarRescue @TylerCoolGuy88 I care too much for the sharks. #TafferTalk

4: Rescuing a bar is one thing, rescuing owners from self-destructive habits can prove to be much more difficult.
@NickMorrison96 After this, I’m not sure! #TafferTalk

5: O-Face: still the worst. Ever. #walkout
@sportyswerve @BarRescue This is offensive. O-Face was fricking revolting! #TafferTalk

6: Do NOT mess with a member of Taffer’s crew.
Being rude to a member of the @BarRescue team? I won’t stand for it. #TafferTalk

7: Owner Terry was beyond rescue, and wasted everybody’s time right from the beginning. This explains why he wouldn’t front his own money.
@Nascarking3 Probably thinking about it right now. #TafferTalk

8: Jon is a tremendously talented public speaker. A quick internet search will prove that he’s been using words to motivate and empower for years.
@kitchentable28 Yes I do them and I’ve done them for a while. #TafferTalk

9: Terry isn’t even the majority owner of his second bar.
@MannyXLVI No I did not and he’s a minority owner and doesn’t run it. #TafferTalk
— Jon Taffer (@jontaffer) February 9, 2015
10: Boom Roasted, Terry
Tery doesn’t run the other bar. That is why it’s successful. #TafferTalk #BarRescue

11: Taffer said that he would advocate for the staff at Second Base to get new employment elsewhere. Let’s hope they can get out of that place!
@MelvinLTate So do I. #TafferTalk
— Jon Taffer (@jontaffer) February 9, 2015
12: Look forward to getting your copy the Bar Rescue cocktail book!
@vanakitts @BarRescue Coming soon!
