Did u man up and ask him how big his crank is

He was fixing my sweet potato tots, so wanted to play nice.
Lol.

Nah, I didn't want to bother dude, he was really into his job and I hate it when I see folks bothering athletes so I wasn't going to do the same.

Vilma is quickly climbing my list of favorite all-time Canes.



Dude seems to set a GREAT example for young kids coming up.

His other BBQ franchise went to ****, I believe. At least, the restaurant at Sunset Place closed down. Not sure about the one in Brickell.
 
Don't understand why someone with real money to invest would invest in restaurants. It is a competitive, low-margin business. Hard to make money.
 
... then the OP reported the Vilma sighting to the Compliance Office.

Naw, can't hate a man for investing in a business that pulled your mom out of a crack house. From giving blow jobs for a fix to fixing Tostone burgers for Cane fans.
I salute Vilma and your crack hoe mom.

The allure is strong. Lots of people dream about owning bars/restaurants. I'll give Vilma credit, investing in an already established restaurant chain is a lot safer than trying to open your own place. A lot of these athletes that open restaurants/bars think they can throw in a bunch of money and put their name on it and it will be successful. Someone's got to run the place correctly and you need a chef to put together a menu and run your kitchen.
 
him and Beason own a bbq place in brickell forgot the name
Brother Jimmy's closed down.

Pincho Factory has a shot at scaling, and I suppose Vilma wanted to get in relatively early.

Vilma is smart, but something about athletes makes them gravitate towards this business.

But you're right, I can't think of an investment with such an unfavorable risk/reward ratio. First off, it's hard work for whoever is actually running the operation of the business, and on top of all that you have to watch your employees like a hawk, because a certain proportion will rob you blind. If you're going to invest in this business, buying in to an established franchise is always a safer bet, but still no guarantee of success.

Most times you'll make more money just investing your money in the markets and making sure you have a balanced asset allocation plan. Or even easier give your money to one of the big houses that manage wealth and let them develop a plan for you for a fixed yearly fee, making sure you don't get churned.

Yeah, it's a scary and cut-throat business but pro athletes tend to be very confident about themselves and in Villa's case he is a very smart dude.....I do hope that business succeeds as he seems to be a hard working dude.
