Former Argentine juggler is successful as a chef in Amapá. Disclosure The search for a better quality of life in another country can be difficult at times, but for chef Pablo Argento, coming to Brazil was different. Born in La Plata, Argentina, after traveling 15 states in Brazil, it was in Amapá that he found his home. The Argentinian shared his life working in restaurants in Macapá, and also found a passion in juggling. Graduated in gastronomy, the Argentine arrived in the capital six years ago and says he always worked in the area, but ended up not getting paid as much, and started working on signs to supplement his income. Furthermore, Pablo also used the experience to better understand Portuguese. ? Click here to follow the g1 AP channel on WhatsApp

Currently, the chef has his own business, including working with Argentine cuisine. "I have a degree in Gastronomy and have always worked in the area. However, many restaurants paid very little and, as I had not yet mastered Portuguese, the traffic lights helped me transform red numbers into green", said Pablo. Despite the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina, the chef said that he found super welcoming people in Amapá. During the period he worked with juggling, he says he even received fruit from vendors at the producer's fair, located in the south of Macapá. "It was here that I fell in love with the people. I found one of the most welcoming people in Brazil. I made many friends and, finally, one opportunity led to another. I started working in restaurants in the city, time passed and I never left. Today I feel at home in Macapá", said the chef.

Furthermore, the cuisine of the neighboring country has also been accepted and highly praised by customers. "Now I'm making my dream of my own business come true. After so many years of cooking, I understood that, to have a better quality of life and do what I really love, the best way is to work on my own, without a boss, creating a direct connection between my customers and my food", said the Argentine.
