Away from the usual gymnastics world, Simone Biles is slowly making inroads in the entrepreneurial world. If her Gold Over America Tour (GOAT) stands a firm approach to presenting herself as the producer, there is another one waiting in the corner, unrelated to gymnastics. Rather, it bridges two of her biggest preferences—her hometown and her knack for gastronomical affairs.
Everyone who is a follower of the 11-time Olympic medalist knows that she has this tradition of a slice of pizza immediately after her big match on the wrestling mat. Now imagine sitting in a restaurant where those cutouts hang, eating a slice of the actual pizza taste as you read through the list of appetizers. How would it go? Well, her fans will not have to wait any longer to get this chance, as Biles is planning to enter the restaurant business and here as well a tinge of gold will be present.
What I still want to point out is that Simone Biles has already started practicing the strategies that would make everything mentioned above possible.
The first big move towards such future came when she signed a deal with The Playmakers Group. In this regard, the group does boast of knowledge of establishing restaurants with attendant athlete themes in airports. The best example of the restaurant’s creativity is that it itself is located at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. In addition, the name associated with this restaurant is Dirk Nowitzki, a power energizing the Dallas Mavericks master. Simone is also from Houston and she has the same desire of opening a restaurant at her birthplace.
As of now, the blueprint is almost ready, and the credit goes to The Playmakers Group. The concerned team has already finalized the exact location for the proposed restaurant. Is that not enough to make her fans ask for the address of the place? The Olympian threw a hint regarding it in her thankful note for The Playmakers Group.
In a statement, Biles said, “I am very excited to partner with The Playmakers Group and their dedicated team to help bring a new restaurant to my hometown airport.” The further update reveals that Taste of Gold, the proposed restaurant, might open near gate A8 of George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. Now the question is what about the date of opening?
According to the news statement, the work has already progressed to multiple lengths. As a part of it, The Playmakers Group has taken care of the curation of the menu and to act on it, the group has recruited the best among the best.
The prominent restaurateur, Mark Brezinski, is at the helm to curate the menu. He has the fame of being the brain behind Pei Wei, Banh Shop, and Velvet Taco. So is there another monument coming out of his hands in the shape of Taste of Gold? We will have to wait till the first quarter of 2025 to know about that. But the overall program depicts Simone Biles’s love for the food. It has always been a finger-licking affair.
Simone Biles prefers not to be picky in gastronomical matters .
Woren’t it surprising that a gymnast who is worth an estimated $16 million, like Simone Biles will not prefer luxurious qualities like caviar or oysters? But in reality, the 27-year-old is different. She idolizes pizza. There is nothing closer to this Italian-origin food when it comes to satisfying Biles’s taste buds.
And if it is pepperoni-topped pizza, the Olympian can go outbound to have it. But does she pamper herself too much with loving it too much? No, actually never. The number of calories consumed in a day and recently she has been much active on gymnastics mat, so a healthy dish is necessary to her. Simone actually said it in one of her previous conversations.
