One of the most quintessential LCN fronts is to own a Food Distributorship. It seems like a good way to show legit income and help subordinates achieve legit income. Restaurants and bars are the people you sell food to primarily, that's a great way to inflate cash receivables and stiff the IRS on rackets.
Does anybody know who some of the Independent food distributors are in the various cities that are mobbed up? Only one I know for sure is one in Detroit and Frank Cali's in NYC.
I believe this may be the one in Detroit that you mentioned. It is owned by Tony Tocco. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see the special supporters list that has Bommaritto's, Randazzo's, and Andiamos', which is owned by Joe Vicari. Also, the Eddie Greco in the pictures is supposedly involved with the Chicago Outfit, and has other Outfit associates working for him including Ronald Derosa.
