The co-owners of Mr. B’s Southern Cuisine, Pastor Calvin Jefferson and Ninkia Green, were blessed with an amazing renovation and much-need funds to revive their struggling restaurant impacted by the pandemic.
Mr B’s Southern Cuisine in Tampa Bay
TAMPA, Fla. – June 4, 2021 – PRLog — Pastor Calvin Jefferson, co-owner of Mr. B’s Southern Cuisine in Tampa Bay, was recently featured on the Food Network’s hit TV show, Restaurant: Impossible, and walked away with a newly-renovated restaurant —and a newfound appreciation for his business-savvy sister.
Mr. B’s teams up with Restaurant: Impossible—Owned and operated by siblings Calvin Jefferson and Ninkia Green , Mr. B’s is a soul food restaurant that offers a wide selection of Southern comfort foods. Like many restaurants, Mr. B’s was struggling to to stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fate of the restaurant took a transformative turn when Mr. B’s was chosen by Chef Robert Irvine to be featured on the show. In two days and with a $10,000 budget, he gave Mr. B’s a major face lift.
This episode of Restaurant: Impossible aired last Thursday and since its airing, the restaurant has experienced a surge in business. Aside from the episode being deeply compelling and heartwarming, viewers were also captivated by the awe-inspiring renovation! Chef Robert Irvine could sense the low energy when he walked through the door, and one of his goals was to elevate the energy as well as the overall aesthetic of the restaurant.
“We are forever grateful for what Chef Robert Irvine brought here to Mr. B’s. His wisdom and culinary brilliance was exactly what we needed during this challenging time. Restaurant: Impossible resuscitated Mr. B’s and gave us a fresh start!”, said Pastor Calvin Jefferson.
To say that the outcome of the renovation was great would be an understatement. Instead the result was superb—perhaps sublime is more fitting. Mr. B’s received an amazing makeover, but the real magic occurred when a strained relationship between Calvin and his sister and business partner Ninkia, was restored. Viewers got an opportunity to see the brother-sister duo repair their broken partnership in a loving and affirmative way; And once they were able to see eye to eye, the palpable tension subsided and the restaurant flourished.
So, if you are ever in the Ybor Heights area, make sure you stop by Mr. B’s Southern Cuisine for some delectable comfort food. Be assured, you will be very happy that you did!
Mr. B’s Restaurant is located at 3401 N Nebraska Ave. It’s regular business hours are Sundays-Thursdays 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 8 a.m.-7 p.m. It’s open for takeout, dine-in, and delivery via Grub Hub, Uber Eats and DoorDash.

Joe’s Gourmet, a fish-fry product and restaurant that can be found inside Walmart stores around the country, has officially launched its restaurant franchise opportunity this year.
The Joe’s Gourmet brand is no stranger to success having been featured as a supplier in the national Walmart campaign Made in America and starring on Shark Tank on which they struck a $150K deal with Daymond John. Good Morning America, QVC, and other major networks have featured the Joe’s Gourmet products as well. Now they want to leverage all of that national exposure and brand recognition and allow their franchise restaurant to benefit from it.
The company is launching the franchise from a very high point. According to Maranda Dowell, Co-Owner of Joe’s Gourmet “We got this far because of the taste in the product. This is an incredible opportunity for franchisees to leverage these platforms and start strong,” said Dowell. The Joe’s Gourmet product is made of a unique herb-spice blend and doesn’t absorb oil.
The entire Joe’s Gourmet restaurant concept is simple and designed for efficiency in the hands of any adequately trained individual. “Our operations and our menu are very, very simple. This is a streamlined operation, built for speed,” asserted Dowell. “Our menu is small, but we do every item extremely well. People can depend on what they are getting, no matter the location.”
The franchise expansion aims to go national, Joe’s Gourmet will start in Georgia. “Ideally we want to expand near our headquarters first in order to offer the best hands-on support. We want to be there for our franchisees from the start,” stated Dowell. The company is set on a high standard of support throughout the franchise partnership. “We’ll begin with training at our facility in Lithia Springs and then we will come to their stores for further education. The Joe’s Gourmet field consultants will help franchisees navigate their obstacles and save them time by troubleshooting. We will also leverage our relationship with Walmart to offer high traffic non-traditional retail locations inside their stores,” said Dowell. S One of the benefits is an advantageous lease with a low rate that includes all utilities, a steady captive audience, and strong community presence. She adds that they will consider franchisees located anywhere in the U.S. who have adequate experience to back them.
The Joe’s Gourmet franchise fee has been lowered for the first year. “We’ve lowered the franchise fee to $35K for a limited time. People should really take advantage of this because we know we’ve got all the pieces in place to be a nationally recognized brand,” points out Dowell. “Now is the time to get on board with us.”
The company currently has products placed in over 800 Walmart stores nationally, and over 3000 with other store brands, and they’re running two national commercials. Their headquarters can be found at 1100 Thornton Road in Lithia Springs, GA.
