Adventures at La Bodeguita Del Medio

Raf, L'Erhan, and a couple of his buddies, Luis and Roman, went to eat at La Bodeguita Del Medio. It was quite entertaining to say the least (Merci, L'Erhan). After a nice 2.5 hour dinner, and L'Erhan harassing all the workers, hostess, waiters/waitresses at the restaurant asking if they were Cuban, we walked out to see the only Cuban guy in the entire place; the guitar player. L'Erhan then proceeded to sing Guantanamera really loud with him. And then started singing some Champs-Elysees song. By the way, L'Erhan was also harassing one of the water boys who was from Chiquimula, Guatemala. CHIQUIMULA! And the owner is a white guy that used to live in Cuba. And the hostess doesn't know who Fidel Castro is. hahahah!

CHIQUIMULA!


Earlier in the dinner, L'Erhan was asking for a description of a dish. The waitress was explaining that it had some ginger in it. He proceeded to respond with:

"Ginger, kill!"
See L'Erhan's Fundraising Dinner post

HAHAHHAHAHA, when people come over, I always say "Ginger kill!" which pretty much means for her to go up to people and kiss/greet them.

Although L'Erhan had three Ricard drinks at my place, and three "El Presidente" drinks at the restaurant, I don't think he was drunk. When we paid the bill, he started reciting Russell Peters bit on Chinese people. Imagine him saying this to the waitress:

"Put thuty fo dollah on this caard, and the rest on the otha caard."

"Thuty fo dollah, not thuty fo fifty. Fifty cent a lot of ma-nee."



I later explained to her that it was a bit from Russell Peters and to check it out on YouTube. Maybe she wouldn't think he was that crazy? Ah, I think it was too late. ;)
