There is an Argentine man that I cannot forget about. I never got his name but he pops in my head whenever I eat in a restaurant. I remember his smile more than anything.

I was in a nice restaurant in Salta, getting ready to order after reviewing the menu. The waiter came to me. He looked like Erik Estrada but with thicker hair. I told him I wanted a particular chicken dish and he looked at me, smiled, and with great energy said, “Perfecto señor.” Holy shit I ordered the best thing on the menu! I don’t remember the last time I dined at a restaurant like Panera and the pimply faced teenager said my sandwich choice was perfect. Erik Estrada approved of my selection, and because of that approval we had a bond that transcended between two very different cultures. The way he held the smile as he spoke and said “Perfecto señor” will forever burn his face into my brain, more so than the actual dish. This is starting to sound gay so I’ll stop but good luck getting that kind of treatment at Applebees.

Postscript: It seems like saying “perfect” is a common thing waiters do in Argentina, but Erik’s perfect was real. He knew me from my vibe.

pause.

Sounds like you need to get to Brazil… the cold Argentine women are making you seek approval from some rather odd sources.

For christsakes! Come out of the closet already!

Hehe “starting” to sound gay!?

It’s good to hear you had such a, um, rousing experience with an Argentine bloke.

AWESOME! ( by that i mean “perfecto”)

roosh has a starstuck-lookalike man-crush

Had the same experience in Chile, except the guy said “Correcto” instead of “Perfecto.”

Sort of encapsulates the difference between the two countries, doesn’t it?

Chile and argentina exist on their own little island compared with the other south american countries ive been too. modern and safe with generally unfriendly people
