"Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ, known for its Tex-Mex and barbecue dishes, faced management and ownership changes amidst financial difficulties and an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour division. The restaurant, which started as a food truck in 2013, temporarily closed in April 2023 due to financial non-viability and significant past due rent, and owes over $2.3 million in debt. Johann Moonesinghe, CEO of InKind, is likely to take ownership and aims to pay the staff's back wages. The reopening is uncertain as of May 9, 2023." - Nadia Chaudhury
