Dan Defossey, originally from Long Island, New York, moved to Mexico over a decade ago as an employee for Apple. It wasn't long before he pivoted and co-founded Pinche Gringo BBQ, where customers are served a uniquely American food in the heart of Mexico City. Today, he is the CEO of a group of barbecue restaurants that brought in over $9 million in 2022.

This was piece had so many good things, but the one that got to me was the fact that many of the employees had been deported from the US, most probably dreamers, and to have a place that resembled what they had lost in the States must mean the world to them. A little known fact for most Americans is that Mexicans who speak English with an American accent are usually looked down on (too long to explain in a post, and yes it's messed up), so for they to be able to again speak perfect English among co-workers must have been a blessing.

Just like Trump, he doesn't consider a measly 1 million dollars an actual "loan".

Mexico city is a real food town as well. Thriving in that food scene is an awesome accomplishment, and shows a valuable culural exchange. The rest is the sauce that takes the story another level, watched as the founders welcomed deported Americans as often one of the best places work for people who might bot even speak spanish, as they fed people during covid, and as they created a piece of the US without bringing colonizing mindset, they are true builders.

I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.

Fascinating. I think every American knows what carne asada is. It's surprising that almost no Mexican knows what brisket is. This likely shows that the primary reason that food is imported and adapted is immigration -- and not, say, that two countries share a large border.

I just thought it was a little sus having a New Yorker making Texas style BBQ (me being raised in the south) and the meat they were slicing looked dry, but I applaud him for the business success.
