On a side note i know a cook at a local mom and pop shop that tells me very openly which Mexican joints are cartel backed.

I had allot of family in the food biz - restaurants, grocery stores and food purveyors.
Back in the day, it was a good cash business, provided family jobs (ask me how I know) and a place to hang out with friends. I have seen gambling ( cards and backgammon). Too young to see/remember illegal stuff.
I'm Greek and a half day of work was 12 hours especially at a restaurant. My dad pushed education because he never ever wanted in that business. He has passed on a long time ago and I still remember his words. I like to cook and so does my youngest. He recently ask me if I ever thought about opening a restaurant. I told him no because my dad would come out of from his grave and kill me.
