Passed by after work last night. It appears they are in a restaurant make over show. The inside was totally gutted of all furniture and equipment. I saw TV production equipment but couldn't tell which show it could have been. Anyone have the inside scoop?

New show I think with Besh and Taffer from Bar Rescue.

This actually strikes me as promising news.

Place needs such a thing in a bad way.

Serio should just build a joint in Omaha. It would probably make a killing.

God forbid there be even a single joint remaining in town that doesn't look like an interior decorating magazine puked all over the place. Omg, football helmets on the wall and outdated wood paneling! These are clearly microaggressions against our new hipster artiste transplant overclass.

They are doing it with Besh. Saw some pics of him and the Serios.

My point really wasn't related to the look of the place -- outside of maybe Mike's stupid "office" set up right there in the dining area.

That is extremely bizarre.

Mike could get a little more serio's (get it?) about the sandwiches they've been serving forever. That and pest control.

Could care less about the decor, which is welcoming, and more about making decent food. To steal a line from BO, I wouldn't wish a Serio's roast beef poboy on my worst enemy.

I used to go there pretty frequently. Then noticed them starting to get more and more half-assed about everything after each time (all while inching up the prices of everything), to the point that I probably haven't been in a couple of years.

It was once probably the one decent deli type establishment downtown. It had just turned into complete crap, though. Seems like there's a bit of promise for such a thing again.

No, I wouldn't call that a "deli" under any of its incarnations.

Haven't been since Mardi '01. Don't recall much about it save for it being a cool little dive poboy shop. Hopefully they don't completely bastardize the inside.

With regard to Pearl, definitely.

Also, a walk up oyster bar. Seems the whole point of the name, but what do I know?

Did you get a new FQF fedora, or you waiting for Jazzfest?

Just saw the show where Serios went against a little place called Juneaus for an investment from Taffer, Besh and Tiffany_____.

Serios got the win.

Have any of you been there since the update?
