In addition to Bar Rescue, Spike TV has signed up Taffer for a featured role in Hungry Investors‘ pilot. In the pilot episode, “Taffer teams up with two fellow restaurant industry experts to seek out ‘diamonds in the rough’ — neighboring establishments that are failing miserably, despite having amazing potential to succeed. The Hungry Investors put the struggling restaurants to the test in a head-to-head, challenge-based competition and the one enterprise that shows the most promise of turning things around earns a significant cash investment.”
