Don't forget that Damaris Phillips from Louisville also did sort of the same thing and for a while she was a star on many food channel programs and suddenly she dropped off the map as far as the Food Network is concerned. Hopefully the same thing won't happen to Darnell.

ROUND 149, an upscale pop-up restaurant, will be open at the Muhammad Ali Center in Downtown Louisville on Friday, May 5, and Saturday, May 6. The restaurant will serve five-course meal prepared by Ferguson, and cocktails.
Table reservations are limited and tickets are available for $500 per person. To book dinner reservations, email VIP@JWagnerGroup.com. A portion of the proceeds go toward supporting the nearly 1,000 students who participate in youth programs at the Muhammad Ali Center.
Maybe the most expensive five course menu in the world.
