Momma Cherri's Soul Food Shack

Momma Cherri's Soul Food Shack is an intimate forty-seater a stone's throw from Brighton's sea front. Big soul momma, owner Charita Jones, produces a menu of irresistibly unique classics from the Deep South. The food's hard to fault, but the punters are nowhere to be seen. Head Chef Brian and a rag-tag collection of part-timers are taking the mickey - and despite working a seven-day week, Charita's got an empty restaurant and a £65,000 debt. If ever there was a case of too many cooks, this is it. Charita's a natural, but she's never made a profit on the restaurant and is now facing financial disaster. Can Gordon successfully shut her out of the kitchen, get the chef back on the boil and put the soul back into the business, or will the shack shut up shop for good?
