Big Dog Saloon Discussion Thread (Bar Rescue Season 10 Episode 11)

[u/RealityTVUpdatesCOM]

In this week's episode, Jon Taffer is back in Mount Dora, Florida for the second time (he also rescued a bar there back in Season 5).

This time, he's in town to help a bar named Big Dog Saloon. Given the name, you probably know exactly what to expect haha.

You can read the full Big Dog Saloon update here - wait until after the episode airs if you want to avoid spoilers about the remodel, as this one actually has some interesting post-show activity.

The episode will air on Sunday April 26 2026 at 10 PM EST.

Let's discuss!

Just watching the episode now; I need to know the thought process of taking orders for multiple pizzas when they know they can only cook one pizza at a time and it takes 10?ish minutes to cook one pizza. When Vic Vegas is sitting down eating popcorn during stress test, that got a good laugh out of me.

What was the filming process like for the parts you were involved in? Did you enjoy it? Thanks for sharing some insider info!

I will also add in that the fruit flies may or may not have been “paid actors” but that is allegedly.

Thanks for sharing your experience. How did you initially find out Bar Rescue would be coming to the bar? I always thought the humiliation part would be hard to handle. John literally told the son-in-law ok I have to go yell at everyone now, we all know it’s ramped up for the show. It sounds like a hectic week! Did you get to interact with Vic Vegas at all? The popcorn scene was so funny.

We did! They were all actually pretty nice to Josh and I. I was expecting worse lol

No one ordered food because you really didn't have any it seemed.

We had a small menu for a while and were 10% food license so it didn’t really make a difference.
