The French Fry King Of Rio de Janeiro | Street Food Icons

Video Overview & Insights

Ademar de Barros Moreira owns the legendary french fry stand Batata de Marcehal in Rio de Janeiro. He’s been selling his famous fries for over 30 years, taking enormous pride in selecting the best potatoes and delivering the highest quality food. Ademar worked his way up as a vendor over many years, selling different foods across the city. He can sense the quality of a potato before he even touches it, going through several tons each week. Working with his family, Ademar is a pillar of the neighborhood.

A guy from india send me this and asked me: is this the french fry king?

Dude I am from Brazil and I have NEVER ever heard about this man, and this is not anything even close to the hygiene level we expect in Brazil.

3 different products salami chicken, potato, frying oil and cooking energy costs. How this price stays same. You must choose to sell local products. Cost is key.

Individuals like him don't require a college education; rather, the college should keep up with him and invite him to share his business experience through lectures!

The man should increase his profit margin, even just 1-5%. immediately, and leave it at that again for the next 30 years. The money would go directly to his family, cant think of anyone that would mind considering the portion sizes.

Why do I hear some French when Mr Ademar's speaking? Is it not Brazilian/Portuguese?
