Posts: 3510So to summarize a long story:
1) Never go into the restaurant business anywhere because it's a complete b!tch, 24/7, endless headaches, with a high failure rate.
2) Never go into any business in Argentina because the corruption and bureaucracy are unbearable, to say nothing of the banking issues.
3) Never go into the restaurant business in Argentina (1 + 2 = 3).
Because I have a restaurant background and a business background, five or six times a year I get approached about some kind of food service idea. The list of reasons I don't want to do that sh!t goes on forever.
I do still remember the hooker I fucked in the bathroom at L'Alliance in Dec. 2010. I think her name was (for commercial purposes) Alejandra and somehow I lost my cell phone that night, but bought the only good weed I ever bought in Argentina. So all in all it was a good trade off.

At the time it was the largest and best steak for the money by far, too cheap I guess. Lunch was a normal Argie-Foreigner crowd and at night the girls would come over and hang around and we'd all have dinner and drinks, etc.
It was too much fun and I did not come down here to have fun.
I just had no idea that I would have so many partners when I opened up. Nor did I have any idea about doing business in BA, specially the resto biz!
Municipalidad.
Ministerio de Trabajo.
Brigada.
Abogados de Mierda!
Make every night a Saturday night and there you have it!
Tell you some day in person.
I did meet over 1000 of the Boys from this board and continue to do so on a daily basis.
I'm thankful for that! Great Guys!
Uncle Bob, I think Monday will be 60 days without alcohol. Already 15 lbs lighter without hitting the gym yet.
Oh yeah, my old place is now a fucking "Subway!
Pushed the rent from 3 k to 14 k and now they want 20 k!
The new owner wants out!
He's fucked.
TL.
You can try to look up the old thread:
L'alliance Steak House.
Maybe it's still around.

One thing, now that we talked about peanut butter, here is some slang: Local women would refer to a small penis as a " mani " (peanut) LOL just bringing us back on topic.

Worth Reading .
The Argie PB is lacking a lot of things in my opinion, mainly good taste; not really, maybe it lacks sugar like the all natural type that Health Food stores sell.
This stuff does not separate in the jar but you can fill-in a gap between the bricks pretty well.
In China town you can find PB sauce which is just for cooking.
My standing order for all the boys that come down to visit me are:
Video Games. P.S.3.
Peanut Butter. Jif or Skippy.
Bar B Q Sauce.
Hot Sauce.
At one point I had 80 different types of hot sauces and 24 jars of PB. The Huge Jars!
Now I'm out again!
The last 2 came from New Zealand but the American stuff is still the best!
One guy brought me a CASE! All the way from Canada!
Thanks,
TL.
Let's get back to the Chicas!
I think I know where there are about 80 bottles of Maple Syrup and Pancake Mix , American and Canadian products .
Unmentionable here but I can ask .

Posts: 911Most Argies have no idea what peanut butter or maple syrup is. But! Go to any Walmart in Argentina and ask for "DAME MANI" . Its a decent peanut butter made here in Argentina. Now if only we can get maple syrup here.
