CityViewNC.com | 51 As for Riverside, the historic building has been a number of different restaurants over the years, including a seafood concept more than once. We have to believe that, if anyone can make it stick, it's Chef Judy. A celebrity in her own right, she has prepared meals for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, billionaire actor, producer, director and comedian Tyler Perry, and Fayetteville's own chart-topping rapper, J. Cole. In 2013, she first appeared on the Food Network, on "Chopped." "I didn't win, but I walked away with a lot of friendships and exposure which helped push my culinary career," she says. In 2019, she took the top prize on the network 's "Supermarket Stakeout," bringing home 10 grand. She says she spoke with Food Network execs recently about another opportunity, but it would mean being away from home for six weeks, and she doesn't see that being feasible at this time. On this day, she's excited about the frozen daiquiri machine that will be churning out fruity drinks beginning May 1 in strawberry, blue raspberry, mango and piña colada – just in time for Mother's Day, graduations and the long, hot days of summer. Besides, nothing goes with soul food seafood quite like an ice-cold slushy beverage.
