Big Ang, the reality TV star who's real name is Angela Raiola, knows a bit about running a successful bar, having opened Staten Island's Drunken Monkey and its new South Beach outpost, Miami Monkey, which is the focus of a new VH1 reality series. "You have to stay on top of things, you have to watch everything," Big Ang told Uinterview exclusively answering her fans' questions.

Miami Monkey is the third spin-off of Mob Wives, but don't expect to see a lot of hair-pulling on this series. "The show's all about the Miami Monkeys, not the Mob Wives," she said.

Miami Monkey airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on VH1.

Q: There's someone I'm interested in but there's quite an age difference. I've always been attracted to people that are older than I am. I think it's the maturity in them. I wanted to know if u think its wrong to get involved or have feelings for someone who has a pretty big age difference than you? - rtatiana1116

My husband is 13 years younger, I think it's fine, but 15 [years] at the most!
