This is what we as a people desperately need…extending a hand to assist in another’s business to help make it better. It’s not often or AT ALL that we find ourselves coming together this way. I’m loving this. This right here should be made an example of what can be accomplished.
I truly appreciate you generosity. Darius, this brought me to tears 😭 I know you have a beautiful spirit. You are the real deal , what you see is what you get . You tell the truth, even if it hurts . The truth shall set you free . You give restaurant reviews you honest opinions about your experience. Some can’t take the honesty, and other truly appreciate it. I enjoy your channel, I look forward to your reviews, your cooking show, and I love your products.keep up the great job 👏🏽 and I pray that the Lord continue to bless you and your crew🙏🏽💯❤️👍🏽 Charole’vista “ Miss Bodi 2006” ❤
Darius - YOU are an amazing and caring BRILLIANT ENTREPRENEUR !!!! I know you hear that all the time. There is a legitimate reason for it. I love the extensive and educated palate you use in all your analysis of the various venues you attend. Your comments are accurate and well thought out. The flamboyant style of your comments are an added enticement to spend time hearing what you have to say. You excel at making it FUN to watch. Another but IMPORTANT aspect of your commentary is the way you have demonstrated the importance of turning every slight or abuse from the businesses and the public into highly lucrative 'Checkout codes' is BRILLIANT. That is what truly innovative business styling and motivation is all about. I think that alone is a million dollar tip on doing guaranteed business ... What can I say... you have it ALL going on and we all learn, laugh, and have a great time when you are on. You make sure we win WHILE you win. There is no greater incentive in business than WIN WIN... Thank you Darius for being a whole edumacation to businesses of any colour! I know there is massive competition, but I am sure I am your biggest fan. HAHAHAHA We love you over here across "The Pond" and I hope you will eventually branch out even to being abroad. Love you on purpose. 🥰🥰 🖐 👌 🌎 ☑
Now this is an awesome idea and love how authentic you are with her about being nervous and excited- I believe can lead to more opportunities and positive feedback. I’m praying for this entire plan and that this generates more business for her.
I agree with you, Darius there’s nothing Caribbean besides that meat pie it needs to have more Caribbean dishes. totally agree soul food to me means flavor. and terms of seasoning Caribbean goes beyond your salt and pepper and slap your mama seasoning. There’s different herbs and spices. I’m so happy that you came back to help our sister out kudos to you Sis much success. Smooches.💜🎁
Man... Where are all the detractors? Where are all the people who say He only bashes black restaurants? This man has done something none of his detractors has done, he's willing to HELP this restaurant in need with his time, resources and influence. When he told her "Let me be your guarantee." That moment. You know God sent him.
Darius, I am so very excited that you stepped up to the challenge. When you asked what we thought about her request, I immediately wrote that you should help, and this will bring forth new opportunities for you in the future. I believe you will help Shauntell as well as many other black owned restaurants. I look forward to the reveal and how you help revitalize her revenue stream, staff, and patrons.
Mr, Cook you are amazing and blessed. I just started following you an watched your reviews an your home cooking shows. This one here touch my heart what you do to help these businesses its awesome. May you continue to be blessed and my God continue to keep an your family
This was very interesting, and was chock full of guidance, on how to go abt executing a consistent flow of attracting mainstream, customer clientele, as well as bringing in new mainstream customers as well. And she was very all hands on in listening to all of the help and advice, tht u we’re giving her. This was a real nice comeback restaurant interview.
I just love love love this D! Man you were born for this. This is your purpose, your calling even. Thank you for doing whats in ur heart for this sister, but most of all thank God for allowing you to be up for the task. Love you. ❤ Mean it. 😉
Our DMV club visited from Solivita and we loved your spirit and enjoyed ourselves. Stay strong and know you’ve got favor so I’m looking forward to visiting you again and I’d love to talk to you about your PlantBased options since we just launched the PlantBased Lifestyle Club and want to come do a group visit again from Solivita (Poinciana) Dr. Ludmilla
What a phenomenal beautiful woman! Darius I luv your reviews but this is sooooo different than other food reviewers. Wishing yall the absolute best!!!❤❤❤
Darius I really Love what You're doing. It's Not just a Food Review....it's a Review of Your Total Experience. To take the time out of your Busy Schedule to assist Them in becoming Better is Invaluable. You have just Separated Yourself from The Average Foodie Reviewer. I Love The way You think as a Businessman, You are Straight Westside of Chi. Your Business Acumen is unmatched. Just what Our Community Needs. Continued Blessings. 🤗❤️🙏🏾
She’s definitely A Beautiful Woman w/Beautiful Soul❤ Thank GOD he opened ur Heart to Lend a Helping Hand/Heart ❤ Thank you Lord for the Love for Others🙏
I appreciate this and it balances the negative reviews of other videos. Love the approach and segments in this video. My only thing is this lady is in debt by 63k, redesigning her space and the work flow of her kitchen isn’t gonna matter if she is foreclosed on.
This is really freaking dope!!! I’m interested in seeing more of these like a series! Food network, where y’all at this here content and Darius is the new go to for turning around a business let’s go!!! 🎉 @foodnetwork
This is so awesome, Darius! Thank you so much for blessing this dear, sweet lady. We visited her restaurant a few years back and the atmosphere that she offered over all was jovial and entertaining, but we waited FOREVER for our food (tasty), unfortunately, which really dampened our whole experience.😞 For instance, my husband’s food came out so late that everyone else had finished their food and he had to get it to go. We have fondly thought about Shantell’s restaurant over the years and have always wished her business well. We would LOVE to come out and support her in January! What do we need to do?
As a Black Muslim woman chef myself I'm so invested in her journey! I love this for her. Q people can say what they want about Darius he is about business and truly cares. Its called tough love and some of use need that to be successful. ❤
Darius absolutely GETS IT!! As he said when asked why he only reviews Black Owned restaurants and his answer was because they don’t have Food Network like others do! BLOOP‼️💁🏾♀️ Awesome concept and I for one will be visiting EVERY BLACK OWNED RESTAURANT YOU REHAB POSSIBLE! ❤
