Mizz Juju's - Restaurant Impossible Update

On this week's episode of Restaurant: Impossible, Robert Irvine and his crew are in Huntsville, Alabama to makeover Mizz Juju's. Mizz Juju's is a soul food restaurant owned by Daniel who is a former NASA physicist.  He thought he could handle the restaurant business, but the restaurant has opened and closed multiple times, has never made money, and has no equipment.  After ten years of failures at the restaurant, Daniel has broken off an engagement and borrowed money from his parent's retirement savings.  Robert needs to turn things around to help save Mizz Juju's and help Daniel pay his parents back.

As I normally do with Restaurant: Impossible episodes, I searched around the Internet to read stories, comments and reviews about Mizz Juju's to get an idea of how the restaurant is doing since Robert Irvine visited, and here is what I found (note - all reviews are post Restaurant: Impossible):

Rest Haven - Restaurant Impossible Update

Rest Haven is a Lebanese restaurant owned by Paula who is also in charge of the kitchen.  Her unwillingness to change is ruining the restaurant and she may not be able to pass it down to her son.  Robert Irvine needs to teach Paula to trust her son and her staff to save the restaurant and her family's legacy.
