NEW YORK, NY (February 14, 2017) – WE tv is serving up another side of drama during its popular Thursday night lineup; with the addition of its new culinary docu-series “Hustle & Soul,” premiering Thursday, March 16th at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The six-episode, one-hour series from Big Fish Entertainment follows Lawrence Page (Chef LP), owner and head chef of The Pink Tea Cup (PTC) restaurant. Lawrence resurrected the former West Village landmark and moved to the Fort Greene, Brooklyn on his quest to rise to the next level and score a coveted Michelin star.
While Lawrence struggles to find the perfect recipe for success, he and his team will learn that it takes more than just good cooking and a good-looking staff to become Michelin elite. Heading up The Pink Tea Cup crew as General Manager is Lawrence’s hot-tempered girlfriend Ana. She may support Lawrence and his lofty culinary goal, but she’s ready to be more than just the first lady of the PTC – she wants to be the ONLY lady in his life (aside from his overly opinionated Mom, aka Momma Page). However, the other female employees have their own motives; including Sana, the flighty flirty hostess who is not afraid to stand up to Ana and go after everything she wants; Thandi, the PTC’s lead server who is next in line to move up; and Candice, the head bartender who is as sweet as her drinks, but far from Michelin ready. The twins, Dominic and Stef, provide some much-needed comic relief at the restaurant where they can’t seem to get anything right.
Lawrence has his hands full between running a restaurant and trying to manage his staff’s cat fights, power moves, and love triangles. Can he keep his eye on the prize while preventing his personal and professional life from going up in flames, or will his dream ultimately blow up in his face? Tune-In Thursday, March 16th at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

What do you think? Do you watch WE tv? Will you watch Hustle & Soul?
I gave the show a try, and thought, oh a possible upcoming chef. They all need to be in therapy. How sad to see ignorance, stupidity, and disrespect from the staff members and Lawrence towards each other. Lawrence dosen’t have the class, professionalism, and common sense to run anything, more or less a restaurant. He brings all his baggage and Bull crap to work.
He needs to come into his manhood and learn how to be responsible and respectable as a man.
Love this show please do not take it off lawerence.
Is fine as hell and he deserve to have is restaurant on we tv
It all go would live to come to his resturant ask his speical guess i am not a movie star just a little country girl from Nashville wanting to come vist the pink tea
There is no way in HE** that this crap isn’t super scripted. Who owns a business,has his live in girlfriend working for him,but ur on national TV flirting and outwardly cheating,and he thinks she won’t watch it all on TV. U got Little Garanimals jumping over the bar fighting but he brings her back. Then the Nappy headed bartender completely tears up the place and he’s ok with that too. Do u know how fast we all would be fired for talking too loud in the workplace because most jobs now have a Zero tolerance for violence. Oh,he made her… Read more »
I love the show but I think he needs to fire everyone but the twins.
I love the show because it’s so entertaining. I look forward to Thursday nights because of it. I no Ana wears contacts but she’s striking with the blue eyes and dark skin. I would love to taste Lawrence’s dishes they look so appetizing. The twins are precious and oh so handsome.
I am so disappointed in this show. I saw Lawrence on Steve Harvey and decided to watch the show. I had no idea it was going to be so ghetto. If Lawrence quit trying to screw all the women that would help. How about an employee handbook on what will and will not be accepted instead of ruling by favoritism and cliques. No one has any business sense. ..not even Lawrence. Maybe he should take everyone to a class instead of a restaurant. Ana wants to be so high class but she is just as ghetto as the rest of… Read more »
He’s a JOKE!!!!
I love me some reality shows. And cooking shows even more. Oh well, Maybe they’ll out Kojak on next season or something cause this mess took up space on my DVR for no reason.
I watched the first two episodes and was impressed by the food shown. Sad to say I will no longer watch this show again. Watching Thandie fighting in the restaurant turned me against visiting when I come to New York. I am also hoping Ana’s behavior is scripted because that takes unprofessionalism to an all time low smh I hope his mom takes over the daily management because she is the only female that demonstrated some class
This is another BS show. I like Candice I hope she does well and find another job where she can rise. Those other two chicks NOOOOO!!!! this show is some more trashy BS for AA. I thought it was going to be a decent show about his cooking and the restaurant when I saw him on Steve Harvey but this is just some more reality TV crap!!!!!! Taking it off of my DVR rotation. Was planning a trip to NY to go to the restaurant but I don’t think so the way they act.
Lawrence you truly have the wrong women beside you Anna need to go pay children support and get rid of her she below people and a sh– starter now your barmaid is real and Gorgeous and you and Her can make it to the top together she will make you very and rich trust and Believe me Live the show Oh tain that short one who once to fight all the time then you will be alright
I watched this show for the second time. Why would anyone put these people on television? Oh, I know. To make an even bigger idiot out of them. Lawrence has too much twist and turns to these women. It seems like he’s sleeping with all three. Ana, need to grow up and act like she’s a General Manager! Right now, she’s very immature! I will not watch again it’s a waste of my time continuing to watch uncivilized people on televison.
Lawrence needs to stop disrespecting the women at the restaurant. If Ana is his lady, stop leading Candace on. He want his cake, pie, and seasons too. I think he would smash any of them. Too close for comfort and they are not mature enough to handle what he is dishing out…
i would never eat at an establishment where the owner/manager allows to staff to act to horribly
Exactly. When I go out to eat and pay my hard earned money I don’t want to be nervous while I eat because the staff can’t hold it together.
I’m from Jackson and the twin Dominic is a rapist. Have no idea what this show is thinking allowing that trash on tv.
Wow!!!
Question: How can you seriously expect to rise to the prestigious status of Michelin Elite when your staff is so disrespectful; particularly before the customers? Several people agree your food is good, but from what I watched last night, I wouldn’t want to patronize your restaurant.
Well, I hope Lawrence is able to separate business from personal. The replays speak for themselves … so, no shade here … play the tape. Candice, keep it 100 and all will be okay … Walking away speaks volumes to character and class.
I agree with all of the above, was thinking going there when in NY, don’t think so now me or a family member may accidentally get knocked out. I like Candy and Sana, the others are to ratchet mainly Ana, and the twins appear dumb as hell. Another reality show that’s an embarrassment to me anyway. Do better Lawrence just bring Mom in to run things, then I feel the show would be worth watching, just my point of view, ijs.
