The 90-hour weeks part?
The fact that he was doing it for a fossil fuel company?
The fact that he’s worth fucking $9.5 billion?

Also, not in the headline, but-

The fact that he did it back in the 90s when you could actually successfully open a small business and make money from it as if it’s relevant today?

The business is a franchise called Raising Caine’s Chicken, which I’ve never had, but if you go by Yelp reviews, it’s either the best restaurant that has ever existed or pretty mediocre.

Also, Wikipedia says very little about his early life, but apparently his parents could afford to send him to a private catholic school, so he didn’t exactly grow up improverished.

    Yeah but it’s literally one thing. Chicken fingers. They better be damn good chicken fingers. And I find that hard to imagine.

      Please remember it’s fast food. Are the chicken fingers amazing? No but they are good enough so that they are amazing with the sauce. Everything on the menu is just different textures for shoveling more sauce into your face.

          It’s a pretty good sauce. Here’s the recipe as close as I can tell.

          3/4 cup real mayonnaise

          3 Tablespoons ketchup

          5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce* (1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons)

          1 Tablespoon hot sauce

          1 teaspoon garlic powder

          3/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

          Pinch celery salt

          It’s also good on burgers, sandwiches, and fried seafood.
