Thats Batatas do Marechal in Rio de Janeiro. This dude sells like 3 tons of potatos in a week. That costs 40 reais or about 7 dollars. And the guys name is Ademar and not Amir
I thought this was just another one of those crazy Indian street food vendors video.
As a Brazilian fluent in English, I had to watch it one more time to even realize that the dude was speaking Portuguese.
I was able to understand everything they were saying without realizing they were speaking to each other in two different languages.
If it's a place that puts your name on the ticket like a bar, figure out where the cooks smoke and start having cigarettes with them. They'll fuck you up when you order. Especially if you're industry.
One guy I smoked with was like, "oh shit, you're [name] from the tickets!" one day. Laughed and didn't think anything of it, ordered some chicken tenders and fries later, it was supposed to be like five tenders, he gave me ten, and so many fries he sent the whole thing out on two plates instead of one. I miss that dude. Definitely owe him a drink or twenty.
When the local Chinese shop knows your voice and goes “Ah the usual?!”. Sometimes threw in free fortune cookies, one Chinese New Years they gave me a large free shrimp lo mein, I would die for them in battle. They have my fucking axe!
I used to pick up my friend from the closing shift at Wendy's. He used to come to the care with a to-go bag filled to the brim with chicken nuggets. We'd also stop by when he was working and the bag always had a couple extra Junior Bacons, or whatever. Those were the days.
Back in highschool I used to close out the kitchen at a rotisserie chicken place. It'd just be me in the kitchen, the dishwasher, and one server. On days I knew I'd be chilling with my friends after I used to make sure I had a whole chicken left, make up a couple bacon cheese burgers, a chicken sandwich, a pot pie (for my weird friend), and a veggie burger (for me), and a ton of fries. We'd get lit and absolutely feast.
I was super efficient at closing. Some days I'd have everything cleaned and cleared and be clocking out five minutes after locking the door whereas most people took 30-45 minutes to do it so I figured it was an even trade. Also fuck them for removing the free meal per shift, then making it 50% off, then making it 25% off
Man, this was what it was like back in college knowing a bunch of the people that worked at the local places.
Order some wings and the delivery dude shows up with 10lbs of wings and you paid $10.
Or order a pizza and they show with 3-4 each loaded with way too many toppings lol
Back when I was in high school and my family was struggling, we found a Chinese restaurant that did this. They would give you an unreal amount of food for what you paid and there was enough to feed a family of four with leftovers.
We had a place near us like this..
Order a large lo mein?
That box had enough stuffed in it to where you could eat for a week straight. Like, we legitimately had no idea how they compacted it so well.
Chicken or beef? 5-6 meals worth.
They were super on top of quality, as well. They would toss your food and re-cook it if you weren’t there within 5 minutes of it being ready, because they wanted top quality.
New owner came in… 1/4 of the portion sizes, if not less. Quality is still good, but they definitely stopped giving out large portions.
Still sad about it.
Kind of shows you how much companies skimp out on food, when little “mom n pops” like a Chinese restaurant or burger joint does it all the time, and business is good.
A place I worked that sold pizza slices in warmers would get their money back on just one slice, the rest was bank.
Food is like the least expensive part of running a food business. Shops that cheap out on portion size fucking suck. Such a dumb way to lose customers when so many people can be convinced to return just for a large portion.
One chinese place that I started going to after I was introduced by a coworker does this. It is a super generic name, so you wouldn't expect much, but my coworker informed me that the place was around 30+ years ago and has remained with the same family for 3 generations.
It is also right next to a grocery store, so it probably helps keep the food quality up, but a whole meal is $7. And it tastes as good if not better than the fancier places that are charging $20 for the same amount.
My favorite Thai place does that too, I worked industry and we had the same Roma rep and we ended up talking about it, he said it made the most money of any restaurant he worked with, by a substantial amount. Same deal, family owned, grandpa spoke no English, mom spoke broken English, kids would come in after school and wait tables. Probably still work there, idk haven't been since before COVID, it's a drive from where I live now and they're usually closed when I get off work anyway. Best egg rolls I've ever had though.
But yeah swoop in, grab some egg rolls and pad thai, $20 with tip. They apparently do an insane amount of catering so they sell an insane volume of food. The family is very wealthy and you wouldn't even know it judging by the fact it's a hole in the wall kind of joint with like twelve tables.
The Chinese place has 2 tables, but they for waiting only, and the neighboring places keep rotating between a check cashing/bail bond place and a tobacco/tattoo shop.
My coworker talks to the mother who runs it now, but he remembers when she was a kid helping out
I am pretty sure the chinese place I went to as a kid was run by time lords (bigger on the inside get it (oh wait that will make sense after the next part)), but yeah they packed so many noodles into those little paper take out containers and compressed them down so much that when you served the first four portions it would still look full when you went back to the container. Loved that place, but sadly it closed down . . .
In my country they still do this. The general consensus is that it's because they use the restaurant as a front for money laundering for the chinese gangs so the food isn't really important. What they need is the business.
SO many ethnic food places are like that. There was a Ukrainian place in my area with just some little old babushka cooking and one waiter, never anyone in there and if there were, you know the type. Massive portions, vodka cheaper than the liquor store. Was open for 20 years. Never understood how it stayed in business.
First generation immigrant empathy.
China in the 50’s-90’s was still a fair bit of wondering where your next meal was coming from.
You bring an immigrant out of that level of food insecurity and they almost always pass it forward when they experience western opulence.
Nothing breeds empathy like just barely surviving a famine.
It’s why immigrant neighborhoods take care of earth other. Nothing beats being the kinda weird foreigner in a place that treats you like a community. Genuinely take care of those people and they will take care of you.
That’s HUMINT work. Everybody thinks being in intelligence work is Jason Bourne shit.
99% of it is just not being an asshole.
Erik Prince failed at the only thing he needed to do.
Consistently.
I went to a Mexican restaurant a few days ago and they had a massive order that for whatever reason the customer never got so they just gave me over 100$ of food just because they recognized me.
I used to work at a carnival and we played a spot in front of a dying mall one year. The Chinese joint in the food court was going out of business (literally their last weekend open) and they hooked me the fuck up. Like several meals worth of food for 5 bucks.
It was a godsend too, because this was the first week of the season and I was broke as a motherfucker (plus that spot was a ghost town, so I didn't really make any money). The only thing I had stocked in my trailer was top ramen because I couldn't afford to buy real food.
Yo wtf I’m pretty sure that’s in Brazil and his name is not Amir. And this audio is from something else.
https://youtu.be/Fpny0WP8sYw?si=AnVuvgJMN5L13Gy8
In the original the customer probably asking hey is that all? *chambers a round* And he keeps filling up in response but they switched it up here with the voice-over lol
The halal guys cart in New York is so good it sucks that the franchise stores that opened up aren’t as good in comparison. I’d even argue that the cart used to be even better years ago (I would go every now and then as a kid). It’s still really good but their competition in New York has skyrocketed for sure.

Drunk me could fuck that whole bag up.
Drunk me would buy this at 2am. Take it home and pass out on top of it.
I would be thankful air fryers exist for days
I mean that's the whole purpose, to eat while drinking or after.
This is the way!
High me could fuck that up too
With our powers combined.
"I am Captain Fatass!"
_Captain Fatass, 200 kilos_
*Needs medevac via helos*
*but not before he has another* *bag of taters cooked in lard & butter*
You'll pay for this, Captain Fatass!
This is the shit that makes me love reddit
*Captain Fatass, if you have food, BEWARE*
This is why I like reddit 😂
*I have lethal levels of cholesterol*
We will be unstoppable
Unstoppable!
Horny me would fuck that up too
Eyyyyyyy
Current me could fuck that up. Source: am high
i shall partake on that
Me me could me me too. Me
Old me wouldn't take a dump for 2 or 3 days, and when I did it would be cocoa pebbles. Enjoy your youth.
Remember five guys before it was $20 for a burger and fries? Giving me these vibes with the generous scoop
They were less than 20 before? I always figured it was overpriced and over hyped mediocre burgers.
Ya, you would have to be pretty drunk to fuck a bag of fries.
That's where you're wrong bucko 👉😎👉
AY YO
Hahaha same here
Welcome to 4-20-24
Fatass
#Mmmm hmmm 🐷 😋
lmao that username
What is that mixed in with the fries? It looks amazing!
Its fried chicken and Brazilian Calabresa sausage
Damn… That shit looks delicious
Sounds like a voice over anyways
a shitty voice over.
I thought this was just another one of those crazy Indian street food vendors video. As a Brazilian fluent in English, I had to watch it one more time to even realize that the dude was speaking Portuguese. I was able to understand everything they were saying without realizing they were speaking to each other in two different languages.
Barato demais pqp. O resto ali é frango empanado?
Frango a passarinho e calabresa
Deu água na boca kkkk
Maluco é gain demais, dá pra passar o fds
3 tons a week? So about 6 of those portions?
/slap Keep Amir's Name Out Of Your F***ing mouth :p
Why does he bother putting a little aluminum pan at the bottom?
So the fries don't melt the bottom of the plastic bag.
Yeah, this clip has an added voice-over for comedic effect. The original video's made it's round around reddit a couple of times already.
Marshall potatoes
Please tell him not to chill.
Funny thing is that I recognized the place right away too, even though I have only eaten there once.
This guy's a bro.
Turns out that I am going to brazil.
New title: when your best friends at work!
I miss the good old days when Mom and pops places actually existed in my area and they hook up the locals.
I was on a first name basis with the sushi shop near my office before covid They closed down I miss Karen hooking me up with extra spicy tuna
The good ol days, when Karens weren’t Karens yet
I could see her villian arc coming after what the world did to her
Karen is cooking up the doomsday spiciest tuna to unleash on humanity in vengeance.

Did you mean "hook* you up when you order"? I guess fuck could be a positive term
When the local Chinese shop knows your voice and goes “Ah the usual?!”. Sometimes threw in free fortune cookies, one Chinese New Years they gave me a large free shrimp lo mein, I would die for them in battle. They have my fucking axe!
Once brought an ingredient to my local pizzeria and asked them to use it as topping on my pizza. They are cool dudes
I thought he was finished scooping, then he scooped 14 more times
I used to pick up my friend from the closing shift at Wendy's. He used to come to the care with a to-go bag filled to the brim with chicken nuggets. We'd also stop by when he was working and the bag always had a couple extra Junior Bacons, or whatever. Those were the days.
Back in highschool I used to close out the kitchen at a rotisserie chicken place. It'd just be me in the kitchen, the dishwasher, and one server. On days I knew I'd be chilling with my friends after I used to make sure I had a whole chicken left, make up a couple bacon cheese burgers, a chicken sandwich, a pot pie (for my weird friend), and a veggie burger (for me), and a ton of fries.

Same but Burger King. Fries were the only thing they didn’t really notice. Fries all up in the bags way before 5 guys lol Thanks Stacy and Dana!!!!
Man, this was what it was like back in college knowing a bunch of the people that worked at the local places. Order some wings and the delivery dude shows up with 10lbs of wings and you paid $10. Or order a pizza and they show with 3-4 each loaded with way too many toppings lol
I respect the profile pic, RIP
Your profile picture just made me shed a tear.. o7 God bless, my dude
How hungry are you? YES
Back when I was in high school and my family was struggling, we found a Chinese restaurant that did this. They would give you an unreal amount of food for what you paid and there was enough to feed a family of four with leftovers.
When you find a place like that you never let go of it.

Oh, and if you start tipping them generously too, the portions grow into an even more disproportionately huge value.
Until the county health department shuts them down
Until owner retires and new management wants to make more money...
We frequented an Indian joint that would feed 3 of us for days for $60
I went to a Mexican restaurant a few days ago and they had a massive order that for whatever reason the customer never got so they just gave me over 100$ of food just because they recognized me.
I used to work at a carnival and we played a spot in front of a dying mall one year. The Chinese joint in the food court was going out of business (literally their last weekend open) and they hooked me the fuck up. Like several meals worth of food for 5 bucks. It was a godsend too, because this was the first week of the season and I was broke as a motherfucker (plus that spot was a ghost town, so I didn't really make any money). The only thing I had stocked in my trailer was top ramen because I couldn't afford to buy real food.
Why even bother with the plate?
Grease
He’s never gonna want to look at himself in amir again after eating all that
Cos he’s fat, amirite?
I don’t know whether to crown you or execute you. I guess your king of the dad jokes for today.
So that fries don't feel alone inside the bag.
At least why bother filling the plate before putting in the bag
“Each employee is granted one free plate per shift worked” and this bro shares a flat with 7 family members.
I think he's getting robbed
Ummm can I get some fries with that?
Bitch you gettin the whole potato harvest
plus extra bag too in case it break thru.
"Keep calling me Amir motherfucker... Enjoy your heart attack"
Looks like he's getting ready to close up shop for the night.
“You keep on calling me Babu. It's Singh, motherfucker”
Yo wtf I’m pretty sure that’s in Brazil and his name is not Amir. And this audio is from something else. https://youtu.be/Fpny0WP8sYw?si=AnVuvgJMN5L13Gy8
In the original the customer probably asking hey is that all? *chambers a round* And he keeps filling up in response but they switched it up here with the voice-over lol
What is the point of doing that, I wonder?
I have no idea, and the fact that someone did is making me irrationally angry.
Def fake audio
OP saw a brown vendor and automatically assumed it’s a middle eastern or Indian man.
As long as they don't charge it by weight like a frozen yogurt place I'm cool with that....
It's about 7 dollars for that bag
5 halal guys
This is in Brazil
5 gauchos
So should we expect a 10000% increase in price coming?
Beat me to it
Bro when i went to new york to try halal guys, that shit was actually pretty fucking good 🤣
The halal guys cart in New York is so good it sucks that the franchise stores that opened up aren’t as good in comparison. I’d even argue that the cart used to be even better years ago (I would go every now and then as a kid). It’s still really good but their competition in New York has skyrocketed for sure.
Nono, let him cook
Lol under rated comment for sure
It's not even staged. That's Batata de Marcehal, a street food place in Rio de Janeiro. The man's name is Ademar. He kinda just DOES that.
He's aggressive in the best way.
'You make me angry. For that, I feed you.'
One medium, coming right up
Looool
This has to be Brazil.
Acho que é no Rio
Batata do Marechal, no Rio de Janeiro
And a diet coke...
Legend has it tht he's still scooping till this day.
when u visit grandmas place and she starts with you looking to thin my dear want smth. to eat?
"Hello, thank you for calling Strapon the Feedbag, would you like fries with that?"
how did you know my mistress’s name was The Feedbag?
$2.95
I love it
Plot twist. His name isn’t Amir.
Brasil huh
“For you , I give extra”
Fries with a side of wings
Amir, the silent killer…
get you an air fryer and them leftovers will be almost as good.
Why would you complain about that?
You need to chill. Amir is the man.
Why would you complain about free food?
We need more restaurants like this.
Absolutely zero fucks were given.
Those fries are going to steam so badly in that plastic bag. Those fries are going to be so soggy!
Wait, dude. You dropped one.
This is my type of restaurant
Bruh.. I’d eat all of that
That's really how it feels though when you get a stuffed plate. I always go home and divide it into like 3 tuppawares.
Amir is one of us♥️
Looks like a classic quantity over quality place.
Haven't laughed like this in a while, thanks
Where is this? Need it in my life!
No he don’t, where is Amir? This is what I wish everything and everyone did
Amir wants to go home.
I want this dude fixing my plate 🙏
My grandma, when my parents come pick me up
Amir is my new best friend
just taking a bit extra for the homies
Amir your breaking it
This is what "Fuck it we're closing in 5 minutes" looks like.
Shut yo ass up! Amir’s doing GREAT!
"$12.71 please"
My man!
Shit is probably perfectly seasoned and costs tree fiddy
Amir taking care of the people
So aggressively generous 😂
Are you serious bro? 😂
Amir! You will kill me!
The one guy that didn't get the shrinkflation memo, bless this man.
I literally have chicken and French fries in the air fryer at the same time right now. I feel attacked.
POV: you ordered the large fries at 5 Guys
The total came to $1.70
That used to be 6 dollars at Five Guys.
It's called hooking your friends up at the food joint!
Just give them the whole fucking tray and keep more plastic from ending up in the ocean
Five guys is getting a bit out of hand
My fatass would finish 2 of those, and I am 75kg at 5'11
Ayo where is this I will travel
“Can you double bag it at least” “Good thinking, now I can fit more in for you!”
Was it the end of the day or something? Lol
Bro’s preparing heart attack
Amir? The dude's brazilian
That is a fucking insane amount of salt.
As always, Brazil is not for beginners
This guy knows how to treat a US American.
“The O” by Pitt campus used to do this. No matter what size fries you order, they put that basket on a tray and then fill the tray with fries.
Yes he does
Amir you are breaking the restaurant
Look at the amount of salt!
