i think shelly's first mistake was not just opening a bakery with her mom, where there's less up keep and her mom could directly advise her on baking ofc her ego may be too massive for that

She was intentionally self sabotaging. She saw Chef Ramseys' menu and organization was a success to the staff and customers. That burned her. She saw her failures and mist likely saw it was her and not the staff bringing down the restaurant. She couldn't handle it.

@@Chen-my1ks People like her only learn in one way, and their families often go out of their way to make sure they never get there. The one way a narcissist learns? They lose everything- every single penny and everything they ever owned, and are penniless on the street with no loved ones of any kind and failing health. Only at the last moment, if they realize it's entirely their own fault, will they be open to change. But while people invest their own time, emotions, resources, influence, and name, they narcissist will only use it up with no gratitude, blaming everyone else. Let them fail. If they go down, let them. But also don't help them rise back up! It's a ploy. Make them do it on their own or they'll do the 'woe is me' thing to get more people to step on.
she most definitely did not wise up, do you not see the level of entitlement and stubbornness in her face? This is the face of someone who is caught in their ego and narcissism despite a failing business, its past the point of help, even Gordon knew it!
Mary never had gratitude, not one time. Her mom said how thankful she was for Gordon and Mary said, "this is my office". What a tyrannical, narcissistic witch she is.
Honestly, I think every joint that serves food thinks their food is "the shit," but we just see the worst of the worst with this show, and everyone else failed or found success. @Smithy250
@@EtrnalOxKing I disagree completely. My brother has 30 years of cooking experience in a restaurant and never have I heard him call himself a chef. I was the morning cook and the friday and saturday night head cook. My brothers restaurant is simple family food and we all questioned ourselves every day. I and my neighbor cook at home 7 days a week and can't stand restaurant food anymore because of the quality. The best cooks and chefs don't brag that they are as good as Gordon, they have humility and always want to improve. That was the world 20 years ago. Now everyone's ego is in the way and think they are the best, but what's worse is they can't take criticism so they will never improve. If you tell a girl she is a queen just because she is a girl, she will never want to be a better person. She will think she's perfect already. So what liberals are doing is telling people that their best is good enough. I can prove to anyone that it wasn't their best in 30 minutes. So, liberals are lying to people all while making societies "best" actually worse. You are moving the bar down, not elevating people. Multiply that over 3 generations. Common Sense.
When her mother broke down and cried that was it for me. Shelly should be ashamed to bring her mother to tears like that and the sad thing is that her mother cashed in her entire retirement to invest in her daughter's dream to have a restaurant and she was running it into the ground. You can see that Shelly is a narcissist. Everyone else is always the problem and not her. I feel sorry for the fiancé. He had the nerve to tell her, "I told him that he planted the mouse at the door," as if he was trying to reassure her that as the man, he "handled his business." You know he's henpecked. SMH!
Imagine your parent investing their entire retirement fund into helping you attain your dream, only for you to disregard their opinion on anything and tell professionals who became successful that they don’t know what they’re talking about.
11:05 When serving Gordon the red velvet cake, I like how the waitress made it a point to say that all the desserts are made by Mom Mary. She had pride in serving Mary’s cake. 😊❤
Her Staff was really giving 110% and she just absolutely could not care less. They easily could have saved the restaurant. She had Diamonds in her palms and threw it in the gutter for nothing more then her ridiculous ego.
He got Chef Ramsey's trust and seal of approval. Hopefully that will help him in some way...along with his obvious talent, work ethic, and leadership qualities of course!
Update on the restaurant: Blackberry's closed in March 2013, Shelly posted the below, “I want to say we just no longer saw room for growth. We were so stagnant. We were maintaining, barely, but not able to generate the clientele we wanted,” Withers explained. “I think we gave it 10 good years. We had a wonderful time and are looking on to bigger and better things.” Blackberry's was aired on September 23 2011, the episode was filmed in July 2011 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 5 episode 1.
It was in a pretty good location, near several majors highways and on a busy road with lots of parking, in a largely African American area with a large variety of ages and economic levels. And there were no other soul food restaurants in the area: Colombian, Ethiopian, Nigerian, Brazilian, but no soul food. She really had a pretty ideal location and situation for success there.
It was easy for Shelly to throw her hands up, bc it wasn't her investment on the line. Just think, bc of your pride, you lost your 72 year old mother's retirement. So selfish of her not to just listen. Never giving props to thr staff. And how did she fix her mouth to say she'd punch her mother in her face, if I heard correctly, bc her red Velvet cake was praised. The jealousy was over the charts.
@@wildfire7766 Yep, thats exactly why i stay away from rich kids. 90% of the time their character is so arrogant and foul, or not even that, most of the time it feels like they are not living in reality. Its hard to describe.
I am in awe of Chef Mateen; he really had his shit together when it was needed the most; he has a great sense of leadership, and Chef Ramsay jumping in and helping after Shelly left was very admirable and a great sight.
Always baffles me how restaurant owners disagree with gordon even though he has like 7 michelin stars and has traveled all over the world trying food from so many cultures. The man KNOWS what he's doing lol
Most owners/chefs on the show are delusional, which is why their business are generally in the shape they are before he arrives..most of them probably believe they are on his level, when in fact they shouldn’t even be a line cook at a chilis 😂
Morteen was such a vibe, he was always doing the work and putting in the effort. Not that the other people working with him didn't, its just that his commitment was noticeable
Mommy Mary was so damn sweet. The way she came up to the table after Gordon loved the Red Velvet cake, so sweet and precious. She was genuinely happy that he finally liked something.
Momma Mary is so beautiful!! I can’t handle how cute she is. I wish I had a momma that cooked and was this adorable. Her daughter can’t see his lucky she is.

I hope that she saw her behavior in this episode. It's crazy to me that the world has given this woman so much help, from her mothers investment to literally Gordon Ramsey coming to save her and she doesn't recognize how blessed she's been at all. What a brat.
Shelley refusing feedback in an open-feedback session by accusing someone of being emotional and trying to send him home is a frustrating example of bad leadership. If other people weren't reliant on the restaurant Shelley controls, I would just let her sink. Sad that someone that controlling, and incompetent is in a position where you have to tolerate her behavior or bad things will happen to the good people around her. Pure emotional blackmail from a bad leader.
My eye was def twitching when she was telling him to, "Calm down!" He was literally talking calmly ffs! Just faster than normal because we all know she was going to interrupt.
Yeah and then to say she's completely changed and seen the error of her ways, i dont buy it, she'll take gordon's shiny equipment, new interior, and million dollar advice, but won't give the man 30 seconds to talk?
@sMansionThere's a reason that almost every restaurant featured on Kitchen Nightmares ended up failing, and it isn't Gordon. The people running them run them into the ground.
@@raelik777 the restaurants that go on kitchen nightmares are pretty much already failed, that's why they get on the show. They choose ones on the very edge
There was another episode on the UK version where a Jamaican woman (if I’m not mistaken) made something for Gordon and he cleaned the entire plate. They shut down as well but it was due to bad location. The restaurant was literally a hole in the wall.
His very FIRST kitchen nightmare. I believe he made reference to it in this episode, about how soul food is special to him because it was his first @@rosbel4119
There was another episode, I think the restaurant was called galleria 33? Where they made tiramisu for gordon ramsay and he liked it. There was another one where he tried someone’s mothers cooking (who was not involved in the restaurant) and he liked it. It was spicy food. Also that one episode where he tried a quesadilla at the cook’s food truck (side gig) and he liked it!!
Momma Mary is by far my favourite person I've seen on this series. What a warm, kindhearted, hardworking, honest woman. She's just wonderfull, I love her so much!!!
as soon as I saw our furry friend I started screaming, "PICK IT UP GORDON CMON" because I fucking knew this man would. If he found a barrel marked "nuclear waste" in the kitchen he'd take big handfuls and start shouting, "what is this!" 😂
one thing that always baffles me is how many restaurant owners disagree with an internationally known chef who has earned 17 Michelin stars over his cooking career, if you had a chef that skilled and successful, i just fail to see how anybody could disagree with what he says
@somethingawesome1462 I don't know if you mean that in a degrading way, but food trucks also get Michelin stars. So I hope you're not looking down on things because it came from a non-traditional place.
@@Kristapsjyou have to remember the human brain is ridiculously complex yes giving someone a gift like this can spoil them there also a lot of people out there that would work there ass off if they could have it and it depends what tendencies they have before getting it, yes that can come from upbringing but it can also come from choice, ironically despite being grown up in a clearly christian family she very clearly consumed by the greatest sin, pride, so its not as simple as "raised to be" = "will act like" theres more going on in her head and sadly non of it was good
How can the momma be so sweet and the daughter be so rotten? Her mom tried to give her everything and she didn't even appreciate it at all and just threw it all away. Sorry for all her hard workers too. They deserved so much better.

I don't know anything about this family but I think Shelley's parents spoiled her rotten, and the only thing worse than a spoiled child is a spoiled adult!
@@jdstep97the sad part is that in the beginning they said that Mama Mary had used ALL of her retirement to fund her daughter's dream! A damn shame indeed.😔😡
my instinct was that the crew planted it. reality TV shows like to create / fabricate extra drama. that doesn't mean that ramsey was in the know. he did act a bit funny though.
God bless mother Mary's soul, she invested everything in her daughter's dream, my Heart broke when she said that she was so ashamed of Shelly when she refused to Come Out of the office. Mother Mary treats everyone there like her own children and I love it. Mateen is a wonderful talented young man, I hope everything worked out good for him and that he's doing good.
I agree with Mommy Mary that every parent should support their children but to give up all of your retirement? No, her daughter should never have taken that retirement money from her mom.
I think it’s very different in a black household. Not all of them but most black households do everything (and I mean everything) to see their children succeed.
My mother gave my wife and I a substantial loan to start our first business, and failure wasn't an option. I can't even describe the stress it caused me. Difference is we listened to experts and put our egos aside, so we succeed. If you're gonna be a narcissistic business owner, you have to be the best at what you do.

I fully agree Jamie
She cared more about it than her daughter
Gordon Ramsay loved her red velvet, LOVED IT
Shes so cute
Every time they say Gordon is going to love the food. The only thought i have is "No he's not". This velvet cake is the only time I can think of where he did
there was also momma cherri's where he cleaned off the plate
he said that it looked bad but after tasting it, he loved the flavour
Seriously tho he judges food that his own restaurant chefs make what makes her think her shit is gonna be gold

@@Chen-my1ks People like her only learn in one way, and their families often go out of their way to make sure they never get there. The one way a narcissist learns? They lose everything- every single penny and everything they ever owned, and are penniless on the street with no loved ones of any kind and failing health. Only at the last moment, if they realize it's entirely their own fault, will they be open to change.
But while people invest their own time, emotions, resources, influence, and name, they narcissist will only use it up with no gratitude, blaming everyone else. Let them fail. If they go down, let them. But also don't help them rise back up! It's a ploy. Make them do it on their own or they'll do the 'woe is me' thing to get more people to step on.
she most definitely did not wise up, do you not see the level of entitlement and stubbornness in her face? This is the face of someone who is caught in their ego and narcissism despite a failing business, its past the point of help, even Gordon knew it!

The restaurant is closed, but she still runs her catering business. She just celebrated over 25 years in the industry.
The mother is very nice but she did raise her daughter to be like that, entitled angry black woman stereotype.
Shelly's reaction compared to mamma Mary's just goes to show who deserves to be the leader/owner
Far too childish. Disgusting behaviour and so disrespectful to her staff and her mother
What she deserves, IMO, is to be able to enjoy a retirement and do her own thing. Sadly, with THAT daughter? No chance.
Mary never had gratitude, not one time. Her mom said how thankful she was for Gordon and Mary said, "this is my office". What a tyrannical, narcissistic witch she is.
Honestly, I think every joint that serves food thinks their food is "the shit," but we just see the worst of the worst with this show, and everyone else failed or found success. @Smithy250
@@EtrnalOxKing I disagree completely. My brother has 30 years of cooking experience in a restaurant and never have I heard him call himself a chef. I was the morning cook and the friday and saturday night head cook. My brothers restaurant is simple family food and we all questioned ourselves every day. I and my neighbor cook at home 7 days a week and can't stand restaurant food anymore because of the quality. The best cooks and chefs don't brag that they are as good as Gordon, they have humility and always want to improve. That was the world 20 years ago. Now everyone's ego is in the way and think they are the best, but what's worse is they can't take criticism so they will never improve. If you tell a girl she is a queen just because she is a girl, she will never want to be a better person. She will think she's perfect already. So what liberals are doing is telling people that their best is good enough. I can prove to anyone that it wasn't their best in 30 minutes. So, liberals are lying to people all while making societies "best" actually worse. You are moving the bar down, not elevating people. Multiply that over 3 generations. Common Sense.
Chitlin's are not supposed to stink at all if they have been correctly cleaned.
Mama Mary seems like the sweetest lady in that community. Whoever gets the pleasure of calling her grandma will live a life of heaven on earth.

Update on the restaurant:
Blackberry's closed in March 2013, Shelly posted the below,
“I want to say we just no longer saw room for growth. We were so stagnant. We were maintaining, barely, but not able to generate the clientele we wanted,” Withers explained. “I think we gave it 10 good years. We had a wonderful time and are looking on to bigger and better things.”
Blackberry's was aired on September 23 2011, the episode was filmed in July 2011 and is Kitchen Nightmares season 5 episode 1.
Thanks for the update..I was afraid Shelly would kill the restaurant..sounds like she did
I feel sorry for mother Mary
Thank for the update. It's always nice to know the outcome of situations.❤
It was in a pretty good location, near several majors highways and on a busy road with lots of parking, in a largely African American area with a large variety of ages and economic levels. And there were no other soul food restaurants in the area: Colombian, Ethiopian, Nigerian, Brazilian, but no soul food. She really had a pretty ideal location and situation for success there.
It was easy for Shelly to throw her hands up, bc it wasn't her investment on the line. Just think, bc of your pride, you lost your 72 year old mother's retirement. So selfish of her not to just listen. Never giving props to thr staff. And how did she fix her mouth to say she'd punch her mother in her face, if I heard correctly, bc her red Velvet cake was praised. The jealousy was over the charts.

Shelley refusing feedback in an open-feedback session by accusing someone of being emotional and trying to send him home is a frustrating example of bad leadership. If other people weren't reliant on the restaurant Shelley controls, I would just let her sink. Sad that someone that controlling, and incompetent is in a position where you have to tolerate her behavior or bad things will happen to the good people around her. Pure emotional blackmail from a bad leader.
My eye was def twitching when she was telling him to, "Calm down!" He was literally talking calmly ffs! Just faster than normal because we all know she was going to interrupt.

There was an episode where a chef could cook, but the owners were making him follow their recipe. He actually liked the chef's burger. So two. 😂😂
And when he cleaned the plate from Momma Cherri’s soul food restaurant
There was another episode on the UK version where a Jamaican woman (if I’m not mistaken) made something for Gordon and he cleaned the entire plate. They shut down as well but it was due to bad location. The restaurant was literally a hole in the wall.
His very FIRST kitchen nightmare. I believe he made reference to it in this episode, about how soul food is special to him because it was his first @@rosbel4119
There was another episode, I think the restaurant was called galleria 33? Where they made tiramisu for gordon ramsay and he liked it. There was another one where he tried someone’s mothers cooking (who was not involved in the restaurant) and he liked it. It was spicy food. Also that one episode where he tried a quesadilla at the cook’s food truck (side gig) and he liked it!!
Momma Mary is by far my favourite person I've seen on this series. What a warm, kindhearted, hardworking, honest woman. She's just wonderfull, I love her so much!!!

she enabled her daughter's bad behavior and always bailed her daughter out. Momma should've opened up her own bakery. may she rest in peace, and I hope her daughter reads this comment section from time to time.
Mothers are generally experts at nurturing their children, discipline is usually their Achilles heel and can lead to adults that are loved yet also spoiled, lazy and incompetent.
I blame the dad I bet he's the problem
@@jorrelhanley1387 doubt it, and that's why we didn't see him because he is not with their daughter's foolishness. He probably warned the mother not to give up her retirement to their daughter.
@@TeenDream888why are you saying May she rip? She’s still alive
This is one the very best episodes I've seen. It's a shame Shelley got her heckles up like she did. Otherwise, what a truly lovely bunch of human beings. You can't help but wish them all well.
Shelley has a talented team, these are not people you take for granted; and being a dictator is time consuming, sounds like she needs people development training starting with herself. Not a critique, personal and professional growth never ends.

Dewayne is that one guy that everyone just belittles but low key they be the smartest one 😂 😂
Man I would never doubt Gordon in a restaurant. Suggesting he brought in a mouse....so disrespectful.
@MaricomichWhy are you coming back here to ask some poor girl how she is?? That’s a bit creepy mate
Sooooo Gordon Ramsey is soooo desperate for ratings that he would plant a dead mouse?? Her boyfriend was just as ignorant as she was!
@@Thatwalrus27 “A Bit” is a understatement! As a female myself that’s REALLY creepy to just start asking some random person on the internet how are they, you never know if a person ends up being underaged which makes it worse!
@@CattleTheCat Yeah he was definitely being creepy. After it got attention, he deleted the comment. We could try to report this dude but I doubt they’d do much?
@@Thatwalrus27 Yeah, knowing how lazy TH-cam is they probably won’t do crap…
8:20 "when the collard greens are not tasting like collard greens, they're tasting like peppered soil" This guy was my absolute favorite 😂
lol is that what he said.😂
“Soggy and limp”
Did ya'll see tht shit..they was frying the greens in oil🫠🥴
@@kayj33004right!?! I was like huh ??? Why are y’all frying collard greens 😂😂😂
The mother is such a beautiful person and the staff are all a blessing
That was respect to an elderly woman good on you Gordon.
Never spoil your kids, they turn into Shelly. Make them earn everything.
You Ain't Lying!
Amen to this!!!!
Facts 💯
Yea, she acts like she's white
Lol, what? 😂@@changes6679
The lack of accountability, and to think someone would plant a fake mouse is outrageous.
The fact one of the staff lied about it and laughed afterward, says everything about their integrity as a business.
Yes, reality tv would never create fake drama.
@@drradon Nice try. Initially they never had mice according to the front of restaurant staff member, then as soon as Gordon left the room, the guy admitted to his colleagues they had mice before. But now it's just for fake drama?? Ok
@@drradonif that’s the case they could flame Gordon for such tactics and get plenty of support. IF it was fake.
It’s reality tv of course they would do it stop being gullible
"I've been saved by Mother Mary". Gordon is hilarious! 😂😂😂
"Thank God my middle names James" 30:53 What does Gordon mean?
@@ALemonAteHer Gordon and Shelley were at odds before they hugged. James is another form of Jacob. Jacob and Esau were both brothers in the Bible who were a part of a dynasty that was recorded to have created the kingdom of Israel. They were at odds but forgave each other in the end and hugged it out. That's my best guess as a Christian
@@ALemonAteHer All of the specifics are found in the book of Genesis. I think I'm right but someone correct me if it's something else he referred to
@@noxplay4906 oh okay no wonder I've never read the bible
If anyone hurts Momma Mary, we riot.
Mother Mary was so articulate the way she expressed her thoughts and feelings, she is such a beautiful soul. Shelly, not so much.
@@ImTheSeagull Can come from the child not wanting to be like them and going a different path in life. At a certain point a parent’s teachings can only do so much. It’s the child’s decision to keep those going or do something else when getting older
Surprised black folks can be articulate? I guess she was expected to talk jive and praise dance all night right? Y’all’s backhanded “articulate” compliments suck.
So lovely how Momma Mary leans down for a kiss when Ramsay praises her red velvet cake.
I had to pause the video at 26:11 to comment. Did ya'll see Mama Mary start crying, and Shelley didn't bat an eye, but the hostess started crying?
I don't know anything about this family but I think Shelley's parents spoiled her rotten, and the only thing worse than a spoiled child is a spoiled adult!
It's a crying shame. I wish Mama Mary would just open her own bakery.
@@jdstep97the sad part is that in the beginning they said that Mama Mary had used ALL of her retirement to fund her daughter's dream! A damn shame indeed.😔😡
Love Chef Ramsey
sometimes even if you don’t spoil your child they still turn out that way too.
I think ur spot on, a self centered entitled brat that’s never been told no. She was delusional and has lots of issues
Mother Mary is the GOAT. She deserves only good things in this world
11:06 when Gordon tries the red velvet cake - i was looking for the wholesome moment 🥹
same thanks
Thanks!
Thank you because I was not about to watch this full video lol
Thanks lol
His face lit up !!! ❤ I only wanted to see that part as well. Thank you
Mamma Mary looks like such a wholesome beautiful lady, she's respectful, sweet AND she bakes, her daughter fell far from the tree, REAL far
Trying to gaslight GORDON RAMSAY about a mouse is fucking insane
right!!!! the audacity!
It was planned
He planted the shit he was gaslighting them
my instinct was that the crew planted it. reality TV shows like to create / fabricate extra drama.
that doesn't mean that ramsey was in the know. he did act a bit funny though.
He planted it. Wtf would you pick up a freaking mouse at someone's place???? He picked it up and held it in his hand.
I love the unintended symbolism of Ramsay throwing up in the bathroom with a "seek the lord while he may be found" picture next to the door 🤣
God bless mother Mary's soul, she invested everything in her daughter's dream, my Heart broke when she said that she was so ashamed of Shelly when she refused to Come Out of the office. Mother Mary treats everyone there like her own children and I love it.
Mateen is a wonderful talented young man, I hope everything worked out good for him and that he's doing good.
Shelley was " you want me to give up my time?" "This is MY OFFICE" She is self important & perfect.
I rolled my eyes at the daughter. Her mom is classy and lovely.
OMG !!! MY FIRST COMMENT ON THIS VIDEO WAS = SHELLY IS PURE EVIL!!!!!
I agree with Mommy Mary that every parent should support their children but to give up all of your retirement? No, her daughter should never have taken that retirement money from her mom.
I think it’s very different in a black household. Not all of them but most black households do everything (and I mean everything) to see their children succeed.
@222daley the same goes in most Latin families but not everyone knows how to appreciate something they didn't have to work for.
My mother gave my wife and I a substantial loan to start our first business, and failure wasn't an option. I can't even describe the stress it caused me. Difference is we listened to experts and put our egos aside, so we succeed. If you're gonna be a narcissistic business owner, you have to be the best at what you do.
That’s why she’s behaving that way, her money is not fully tied into the business like her mom. Ungrateful daughter smh
@@222daley Perhaps that's an issue they can address then...Because the "child" needs to do it for themselves as much as possible. It makes for competent and strong adults.
That mouse had the chitlins😂😂😂
😂😂I was never ready for this comment
lool love your sense of humor!
