CONTROVERSIAL AND explosive celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay (Hell’s Kitchen, The F Word) has brought his vast kitchen expertise to failing restaurants all over the world in the highly rated and well-loved Channel Four reality series Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. Now one of his most famous success stories comes to DVD courtesy of Acorn Media UK: Momma Cherri’s Soul Food Shack And More.Among others, Britain’s most well respected chef turns his attentions to Brighton’s ailing Soul Food Shack, a restaurant with huge potential but plenty of empty tables. Ramsay doles out his own unique (and often sweary) brand of motivation to Momma Cherri and her overpaid, lacklustre staff, criticising her failures (everything from her prices, pre-prepared food and poor financing), while building her up and encouraging her to play to her strengths. Despite the restaurant’s evident malfunctions, Momma Cherri’s delicious home cooking is unique and could easily turn the restaurant’s flagging fortunes into a huge triumph. The DVD will be released on 9 June 2008 and also includes the infamous Ramsay overhauls of: La Riviera, a fine dining restaurant in Inverness; La Parra de Burriana, an ex-pat restaurant on Spain's Costa del Sol; and The Fenwick Arms in rural Lancashire. †The incredibly accomplished and notorious chef is one of British cooking’s most well-loved success stories. With his often bullish and divisive manner, Ramsay has come from humble footballing beginnings to heading up a multinational restaurant empire, with ventures in London, New York, Paris, Florida and Los Angeles.
