The Bar Makeover show came to our town (Maricopa) this summer and did a makeover for one of our bars. They’ve kept the most popular items on the menu since, even tho they seemed kinda pretentious for our area, but overall I think they improved the place.
I suppose as long as they don’t price themselves out of the market, people would appreciate a nicer place and some fresh food items. Though I figure, that show is really in the business of making TV shows. The fate of the bar has nothing to do with it once they leave town.
