Fan React to MoneyBagg Yo new Restaurant in Memphis selling $100 Steak.

Commercial Appeal reports that Chef Daris Leatherwood — who has worked for the likes of Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Lil Wayne — runs Cache 42’s kitchen while Jason Spicer serves as operations manager.

Spicer shared with the outlet that although Moneybagg Yo doesn’t run Cache 42 on a daily basis, he “has been involved in every detail of the restaurant.”

Cache 42 offers two sections for its customers: the “Dining Room” and the “Living Room.”

“The Dining Room will offer an elevated dining experience. Reservations are recommended for tables, but walk-ins will be accepted for bar seating,” the outlet details.

Though Moneybagg Yo owns Cache 42 and was involved in “every detail of the restaurant,” Commercial Appeal reported that he’s not part of the day-to-day operations of the restaurant and lounge.

Instead, the chef’s duties were assigned to Daris Leatherwood, a Memphis-based chef with a long and storied history in the hospitality industry — who was, perhaps most notably, once Lil Wayne‘s personal chef.

Patrons can expect an “elevated fine dining” experience, which operations manager Jason Spicer said would also feature popular staples such as lamb chops and oxtail.

Cache 42’s opening provided some much-needed positive publicity to Moneybagg Yo, who recently came under fire for his reported involvement in a leaked sex tape.

“The Living Room is a hookah lounge that will feature clean hip hop music,” it continues. “While guests may mingle within the space, all guests must have a seat. Spicer said there will be no standing room and once every seat is taken, the lounge will be considered at capacity. To help with the flow, there is a two-hour maximum time allotment at each table. For now, the Living Room is open for walk-ins only, but soon guests will be able to make reservations for the space.”

Throughout April 2023, Cache 42 is set to be open for dinner only. However, Spicer shared that the restaurant is aiming to add brunch for Saturdays and Sundays in about a month’s time.

Prior to opening his own restaurant, Moneybagg Yo had already stepped into being a businessman. Sous Chef Jeoffrey Braxton says some of the most popular items on the menu include oxtails, lamb chops, chicken and shrimp pasta.

“To see people, enjoy what we are bringing to the table. Great food, music, great drinks, great staff, great customer service into those areas,” Chef Braxton stated. “Just for everyone to enjoy their experience here because it’s big for all of us. It’s big for Memphis.”
