It appears that big John is no longer at Trademark - his has his own restaurant biz (I
think in Folly Beach).

...business partners are teaming up with John Davis for a couple of new restaurant concepts on Center Street.

In the old Terrapin Cafe space they’ll open Rita’s, which will serve burgers, fresh salads, and other easy beach fare.

Looks like they were going to hire a chef in January of 2009. Is the restaurant open now? Anyone??

I wonder how John Keener likes working for Richard and Ginger. Now theres a great way to
ruin a long=time friendship, one working for the other.

Is John Keener the person who takes over for John Davis?

If so, the episode info from the tv listings suggest things may not have worked out so well.

This restaurant deal started in the winter, and if you go to Trademark's website now and look at their commercial team, it shows John Davis still as the commercial team leader, with a spot for John Keener's picture to the right...

I am so disappointed in TLC's advertising for this show! This was and IS an amazing show!! I sure hope that the exec's decide to put a new spin on it to regain it's popularity!

Seems like TLC added the show as a summer replacement. Seeing as how the real estate market is struggling, it's hard to imagine getting more episodes on the air.
