    real time in the business is so true i learned this with having a Puerto Rican carry out establishment in Detroit MI right on the avenue it was a truly great experience & yes you can consider 75hrs a week part time. Great Old School interview i loved it!! Much love & respect to Mr. Bludso & his crew💪✊🍻🙏

    Thanks for doing this, Vlad. So many Blacks on the West Coast don't understand where they came from and think corner store burritos are cultural foods.
