Reading a news piece on NAFTA today, and it had this line:

quote:

In his news conference, Peña Nieto advocated for Mexicans to buy products "Hecho en Mexico" or "Made in Mexico" -- a clear response to Trump's "America First" slogan.

That, and "we are all guaranteed at least a little tremendous physical pain" are the two things that have stuck with me forever.

"I believe the individual is unfairly corralled into segmented maturity. At twenty, one's head might be fleet with sums, while one's heart might be dishonest in its appetite. At forty, one might finally understand the methods of children, yet find one's ethics crumbling. In practical application, a man is many of his ages at each moment, each old playmate hoping to be heard one last time before the black wave calls him by the cuffs."

prefect posted:

Apparently the restaurant was making sixteen million dollars a year. I don't know what's more surprising to me: the amount of money it made or that they would close it.

That's revenue, not profit.

http://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/top-100-independents-2017/guys-american-kitchen-bar

His space had 6,000 sq ft at street level ($$$) and 10,000 sq ft below ground (much cheaper). Let's be super generous for the neighborhood and assume he was getting a massive sweetheart deal of $150/sqft/yr for the street level, half that for the below-grade. That means he's paying at least $1.7M/yr for rent on the space -- probably more than that.

If he's generating $17M in sales per year, that implies he's spending 10% (or more) of his revenue on rent. That's astronomically high by restaurant standards, where you're already spending up to 65% of your revenue on prime cost (labor/food).

Chances are good that he was breaking even, or doing a very modest profit. Most restaurateurs would be happy with modest profit, tbh; but, when you're a celebrity chef, a modest profit is probably in "cut ties and start looking for something more profitable to slap my brand on" territory.
