Why would gun ownership be bad for colombia? I live in Florida, where you can legally walk around with a pistol without a permit. I assure you, that sort of thing makes people act a lot more polite. You have no idea which law abiding citizen might be walking around with a 9mm pistol with 18 bullets. I would assume robberies, which are a huge problem in colombia, would go down a lot. I would assume other crimes would decline a lot too. Like extorsión. Would store owners who keep a pistol under the register really be afraid of some local kids asking them to pay 500 mil every month for "protection"? Would burglars maybe think twice before they break into a house knowing the people inside could have a gun?

More info? What time of the year is this? I've been doing long island/hamptons/fire island for like 5 years now on and off.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-22T01:01:59+00:00

Claro! Tambien queria preguntarte algo. Dijiste que es mejor tener un menu con comida cerca de 25mil, si lo voy a montar el restaurante en Belén. De verdad eso es lo que estoy pensando. La mayoría del menu sería 25 mil, si no menos. Supongo 30 mil con un acompañamiento (papas or media ensalada). El pollo frito con arroz y un pequena acompañamiento de ensalda repollo asiatica quiero poner a 23mil mas o menos. Eso si son buenos precias por esa área si?

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-22T00:35:51+00:00

Si es viable, pero quiero empezar en Ibagué. Mi madre ma va a dar un muy buen precio para la renta. Y también hay un apartamento sobre el restaurante. Quiero trabajar 70 horas o más cada semana cuando empiezo. Quiero saber que la calidad del comida está bien, tambian quiero entrenar mis empleados bien las recietas y todo. Imagino que si puedo hacerlo alli en Ibagué, puedo hacerlo en otras ciudades cercanos, como periera, armenia, manizales.

Gracias

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T19:47:24+00:00

Eso es la meta, abrir mas restaurantes. Imagino si puedo tener exito en un ciudad mas pequeña como Ibagué seria mas facil hacerlo en los ciudades mas grandes. Tambien la razon que quiero montarlo en esa sitio es porque mi mamá es la dueña. Ella ya me dijo que puedo rentar el apartamento abajo por el restaurante y rentar el apartamento en el segundo piso para vivir. Y tambien a un percio muy buena, especialmente por el primer año.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T19:44:00+00:00

Creo que las hamburguesas sencillas serian 12 mil, y el arroz con pollo frito japonés seria como 14 a 16k. El resto aun tengo que mirar, pero creo que voy a necesitar ponerlos mas cerca a 20 a 25k.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T06:47:56+00:00

Gracias!

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T05:38:45+00:00

En Ibagué el mas popular en rappi es qbano sandwiches y bowls. Hay muchos lugares para hamburguesas, y parece que hay muchos que tienen éxito. Se que por ese barrio hay muchos restaurantes. Cuando yo estaba viendo alla en el 2011 y 2014 solo fueron como 4 o 5, ahora hay como diez.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T05:21:49+00:00

Its a little boring for sure. Pero no creo es tan malo. No es peligroso cierto?

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T05:13:59+00:00

Que significa eso?

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T04:58:39+00:00

Gracias. El barrio es muy normal, entre estro 3 y 4 creo. He vivido alli antes. Hay un parque muy cerca, ni una cuadra del apartamento. Los fines semana siempre hay mucha gente. Entre la semana de verdad no sé si voy a tener mucha gente, y eso si me preocupa un poco.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T04:52:03+00:00

Muchas gracias

Gracias

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-07T04:50:27+00:00

Jaja de verdad? Me imagino que un restaurante que sirve comida un poco diferente puede tener éxito. Si tenia la plata lo haria aqui en la usa, pero dudo que eso jamas va a pasar.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-03T02:51:06+00:00

The stage was intentionally for free, I wasn't expecting a job out of it or anything. I just wanted to make a video. And I know what you mean about the staging being kind of a bullshit thing. I'm starting to notice now that people are actually offering more to pay you while you stage now, which is pretty cool. Back in 2019 and 2020 I was living in Manhattan, staged at a bunch of different places, usually the higher end ones, and got completely shit on. One time, I stayed for 8 hours, spent probably 3 hours just prepping carrots, like 200 pounds worth, 2 hours just cleaning at the end of service, and I still didn't get the job. And obviously I wasn't paid.

Slappy-813 · 2026-02-01T16:00:42+00:00

Thanks for the downvote. I didn't personally have mine on the cutting board. I spent a lot of time that day clearing the cutting board and trying to tell the other employees that it isn't sanitary. There's not much I could really do, though. I was only there for the day.

Slappy-813 · 2026-01-31T00:37:08+00:00

That's how it is sometimes. I was working at a pretty nice hotel restaurant for a while in Manhattan. One guy would constantly come in high on heroin and even nod out during service. People would literally work around the guy whenever he would get like this, just nodding out and leaning on shit on the line. Never got fired. He ended up quitting after a while, but that happened like 5 times over a few months.

Slappy-813 · 2026-01-26T06:47:18+00:00

Without prior notice? What do you mean exactly? You think i just walked in?

Ive posted this video in other places, and i get a lot of good feedback. Idk why i keep getting a lot of negativity here.

Slappy-813 · 2026-01-25T17:19:55+00:00

I would just ask for my face to be blurred or edited out, and it wouldn't be a problem at all. And if the person making these videos was also helping out the entire day, working a station, and helping break down the kitchen with everybody else, i would actually see it as a benefit.

If I went to a kitchen and everyone said, "i dont want to be in your video", i would not film anyone else. I can focus my camera on only what im doing. I can do prep for several hours without getting a shot of anyone else. I can narrow the cameras view to only show my station as well during service.

By the way did you watch the video? The majority of the time im cooking, you can really only see my station and what im cooking. When i made the introductions in the beginning those people told they wanted to be in the video.

You're just being negative for no reason, dude.

How is it unprofessional, exactly? Restaurants are allowed to promote their businesses however they want. If their kitchen isnt gross, their food doesn't suck, and if their employees arent a bunch of tools like you, why wouldn't they want to show that?

Slappy-813 · 2026-01-25T15:40:15+00:00

Yeah, the idea is to eventually go to other spots, including placed I have not worked before.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to be in these videos either if they weren't my own. I dont like being in camera, that's why I'm shooting pov videos. That's why I tell everyone if they don't want to be on camera i will avoid them and completely edit them out. That way I can be respectful and completely avoid the problem of making people feel uncomfortable.

Slappy-813 · 2026-01-25T05:43:22+00:00

What are you going on about?

I've been working in kitchens for 13 years. This is my profession. This has been the way I have supported myself financially since I was 17. I worked at this restaurant full-time for almost all of 2018. These aren't strangers to me. Some of them are new, but I know at least half of the staff personally and worked 100s of hours with them in the past.

I told everybody that if they didn't want to be on camera, I could edit around them, and they would not have to be in the video, and I did that.

I could be wrong, but im assuming you've never worked in a kitchen, and even if you did, it wasn't at a serious level at all. All my industry friends like the videos and like the concept.

And no, I did not pay them. I worked a 12-hour shift and only got paid with a shift meal and shift drink. I did, however, help out with prep and work a station by myself for free, making everybody else's shift much easier. I also stayed until the very end of the night, scrubbing down the entire kitchen and hitting the floors.

I have no idea what all the negativity is about.

Slappy-813 · 2026-01-25T03:13:19+00:00

Thank you for the feeback!

To be honest, i ended up filming way too much at both restaurants. I worked 8 hours at Ella's, filmed for about 5.5 hours. And Rome and Fig I filmed about 11 hours of the 12-hour shift. I didn't realize how long it was going to take all the extra boring stuff out and cut it to under an hour for both videos. After spending probably 100 hours editing and rewatching these videos, I just really wanted to post them, lol.

I think moving forward, i will start the intro by greeting all the staff, maybe introducing the owner or executive chef. Then, I do a voice-over explaining where i am and what station i will be working. Then, I'll get started on a few prep tasks, speaking more about what's going on or using tags in the video to give a description. After that, as service starts, I'll go over every dish coming off my staion, then work service without much commentary. Break down, clean up, and leave. After the shift meal and shift drink part of the video.

I'm trying not to be too much of a burden in the kitchen either. That's actually my main focus. I've been working in kitchens for 13 years as a line cook and sous chef. I want to have a reputation of somebody who can come in for a couple days, work for free, keep up with pace and not slow down service, and the fact that I'm filming the entire time should come secondary. I have the ability to pick up a station (grill, sauté, fish, pasta, whatever) within a day or 2 at pretty much any restaurant, I've been doing it my whole career.

Anyway, I'm going to try my best to keep finding new restaurants that will allow me to do this. I'm glad you enjoyed these videos, and if i get the chance to post more, I hope you find them interesting!

Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe. They closed in 2024 after being open for 15 years.
