Don’t Fry for Me Argentina

Don't Fry for Me ArgentinaThere’s a moment when you’re pissed off at all your friends, there’s no one in your family you ever want to speak to again, and work sucks as only a job you ended up in by default, can. That’s the moment where we all fantasize about just disappearing. Cashing in everything we have, buying a plane ticket to some exotic locale, for cash, and creating a whole new identity. I don’t mean the whole fake identification, false background thing, I mean, simply, starting over.

In 2005 New York chef, sommelier and writer Dan Perlman decided to drop out of the rat race and head for other climes. Landing in Argentina with plans to stay for eight to ten weeks, he embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. Eight years and more stories than he can count he hasn’t left. Paperback and Electronic versions
