He says it just seemed like the right time to walk away, both personally and professionally. Verica — who turns 50 this year — says the industry has taken a toll on him, physically, mentally and emotionally.
That move comes after Verica was approached about selling the 2,800-square-foot restaurant. It’s located at the corner of Seventh Street and Pecan Avenue.
“I’m not getting any younger,” he says. “What better way than to walk out on top. I’ve accomplished more than I ever dreamed I would. I have no regrets.”
Verica confirms the restaurant’s lease and assets have been sold
