- I quit tech to make $2.3 million selling Halal BBQ
Salahodeen Abdul-Kafi left a 14-year tech career to open Kafi BBQ, a halal Texas barbecue restaurant in Irving, Texas, which generated $2.3 million in revenue during its first year. The restaurant avoids pork, a staple in traditional Texas barbecue, and faces challenges like high meat costs and custom equipment but aims for a Michelin star.
