Gordon Ramsay visited Momma Cherri's Soul Food Shack in Brighton, England, where owner Charita Jones was struggling despite serving food that Ramsay actually loved. In a rare Kitchen Nightmares moment, Gordon cleared his plate during his first visit! After implementing changes that boosted business, Momma Cherri's seemed poised for success, but what happened in the years that followed?
The restaurant initially thrived after Gordon's visit, becoming fully booked throughout the week
Charita expanded to a much larger location called "Momma Cherri's Big House"
The kitchen reverted to frozen, pre-prepared foods to handle the increased demand
Head Chef Brian eventually left to pursue art projects after Gordon's second visit
Did Charita's expansion dreams ultimately crush her business? What challenges did she face trying to manage a restaurant serving 1,000 covers weekly? How did her zero-star food hygiene rating affect customer confidence? And where is Momma Cherri cooking her soul food favorites today?
This follow-up video explores the bittersweet journey of one of Kitchen Nightmares' most beloved restaurant owners and explains what happened after the cameras stopped rolling. Not the episode itself, but the real story of Charita's restaurant ventures after Gordon Ramsay's intervention.
