In Restaurant: Impossible season 3 episode 12, host Robert Irvine travels to Memphis, Tennessee to help save Pollard's Bar-B-Que, a struggling family-owned restaurant that has been open for over 50 years. The restaurant was once a staple in the community, but over the years, it has fallen on hard times and the owners, Vanessa and LaTroy Pollard, are struggling to keep it afloat.
As soon as Robert arrives, he can see that the restaurant is in need of a lot of work. The building is old and run-down and the interior is dated and uninviting. The menu is also in need of a major overhaul, with dishes that are not appealing to customers and lacking in flavor.
Robert brings in a designer, Taniya Nayak, to help give the restaurant a much-needed facelift. Together, they work on updating the decor, brightening up the space and creating a more welcoming environment for customers. They also work on updating the menu, bringing in fresh ingredients and creating new dishes that are sure to be popular.
As they work on the restaurant, Robert and Taniya also spend time with the Pollard family, getting to know their story and learning about the challenges they face in running the business. Vanessa and LaTroy are passionate about their restaurant and their community, but they are struggling to keep up with the demands of running a business.
Through hard work and determination, Robert and his team are able to transform Pollard's Bar-B-Que into a thriving business once again. The new decor is beautiful, the menu is delicious, and the restaurant is now a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
Overall, this episode of Restaurant: Impossible is an inspiring story of a family-owned business that is able to turn things around with the help of a dedicated team and a willingness to work hard. With Robert and Taniya's help, Pollard's Bar-B-Que is now a shining example of what can be achieved with perseverance and a commitment to excellence.
