One day in 2020, the Salvadoran chef Herbert Rodríguez decided to take the humor of his day to day in the restaurant to social networks and now he has become an influencer.
Herbert works as a chef in an Ecuadorian restaurant in New York and since September 2020 he decided to start posting videos on Tik Tok.
After more than a hundred clips uploaded, The Salvadoran already has more than 100,000 followers on this social network and more than 2,000,000 likes on his @thewarrior501 account.
The key to his success: good humor.
“I think it was comedy, the antics and with my colleagues we did tiktoks and joking,” he explained.
In his videos you can see jokes, parodies and above all funny moments of his day to day in the restaurant kitchen.
Several of those videos have over a million views.
Rodríguez assures that he always does the impossible to make his followers laugh.
“Without fear of success, without shame, doing whatever it takes to make people laugh,” he added.
The man has already started monetizing his videos, but his primary goal remains the same: to have fun.

But at the same time he admits that it has so many weird things, that “it’s the funniest place I’ve been in New York.” And that is, he has documented quite original houses.

Dahl, who is 27, pays $1,850 to live here. And she says that, although she would like to move, she would have to have “minimum, $5,000” to be able to rent another studio apartment. Or live in a tiny apartment, like titktoker Alex Verhaeg, who pays less but lives in a 95-foot (28-meter) space.

The laundry room hasn’t been in operation since before he moved in in March 2019, but he liked the 800-square-foot space because it gives him “freedom,” he says.

His kitchen is equipped with everything necessary, and unlike that of actor Eli Young, who has a minibar in his apartment-ambulance, Dahl prefers tea, a drink that he says he consumes by the ton.

While other compact NYC apartments don’t have a bathroom inside, like designer Alaina Randazzo’s, Dahl’s not only has its own bathroom… it also has lots of mirrors and even a window between the toilet and the shower.

Among the ‘donations’ he has received is a community refrigerator. Right at the entrance of the apartment. Everyone who passes by can put or take clothes from there.

Also, on the sidewalk, in front of the laundromat where he lives, he incorporated a swing, and a table and two chairs, for whoever passes by, talks, or has fun. He says that he likes to foster a community atmosphere in his neighborhood.

The bed is one of the few things you have paid for. She cost him $25, and to make it more original, not only is it almost near the ceiling, she also left him the original laundry sign, to sleep next to it.

At the foot of the bed, and almost on the ceiling, he has an “air” closet, in which he says clothes hardly ever fit. Very different, by the way, from the luxury closets of some Manhattan apartments.

Although she lives in an old laundry, she didn’t leave a single clothes dryer inside her house, so after washing her clothes, she hangs them on loops that run through her house.

The ties where he hangs his clothes also help him overcome leisure and sometimes he does pirouettes on them.

Similar to the influencer Tory Deluhery, who lives inside a van and inside it has her studio, Dah has her painting studio in her house-laundry, because she likes art.

Dahl confesses that his next step is to stop living in the laundromat and turn it into a community art studio.
