Breizh Cafe specializes in galettes (buckwheat crepes stuffed with various fillings), and wow. That’s all I’m going to say. Wow.
Okay, I guess I’ll say a bit more than “wow,” but I think that about sums it up.
Did I eat a bunch of junk while at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? You bet I did.
Jose Andres is a celebrity chef who specializes in higher-end Spanish eats. He has a bunch of restaurants in various States, but I mostly know him from a delightful cooking/travel show called Made in Spain he hosted several years ago. His enthusiasm for Spanish cuisine was infectious. I wish he’d do another one.
There’s a popular breakfast in Budapest called langos — fried bread, traditionally topped with sour cream and cheese.
A vendor at the back of the Rákóczi Market Hall called JóKrisz Lángos Sütöde serves these things, and man, they’re good.
McDonald’s in Hungary has a pork burger called the Pig McFarm, and it’s actually pretty interesting.
Occasionally, you’ll hear about a dish that you immediately need to try. I recently learned that pickled cheese is a thing that exists in Czech pubs, and of course, my interest was piqued.
Okay fine, it was more than piqued. Pickled cheese?? I needed to try it immediately.
You can’t go wrong with fried cheese. There’s something about the gooey/crispy contrast that’s always going to be satisfying.
I went to McDonald’s. In Brussels. For real this time! I saw the Golden Arches and everything, so I can say with a reasonable degree of certainly that I wasn’t tricked into going to a different restaurant (again).
Here’s a weird thing that happened: I saw a location of McDonald’s in the Brussels airport, went in, ordered, and then ate my food. Not so weird, right? Here’s the weird part: it wasn’t McDonald’s. It was a Belgian fast food chain called Quick.
Thessaloniki’s love for flaky pies is actually pretty impressive. It probably helps that it’s a great, quick breakfast that you can eat on the go. Seeing people munching on a slice of pie in a paper bag is an extremely common sight in the morning.
