I stumbled across Archontis while wandering around Thessaloniki one morning. They seemed to have a decent crowd going, so I figured I’d give them a shot.
McDonald’s in Greece might have one of the most boring menus of any McDonald’s in the world — it’s pretty much exclusively the usual suspects. Oddly enough, they don’t even have the Greek Mac that I tried in Cyprus.
Burger King is the worst. That’s barely even an opinion — that’s just a fact. It’s consistently shoddy in a way that’s quite shocking. So despite my interest in kooky local creations at fast food chains across the world, I’ve never had any particular interest in checking out BK.
Well, I just tried the Halloumi Whopper at Burger King in Cyprus, and yeah — I was right to avoid Burger King. It’s just as shoddy in Europe as it is back home.
I had kanafe on a trip to Jordan several years ago and very thoroughly fell in love. But one mediocre version after another back in Toronto had me questioning myself: is kanafe really as good as I remember?
I recently had a layover in the Oman airport, and I noticed that they have a McDonald’s location in their food court. I wasn’t even particularly hungry, but I mean, obviously. Bonus McDonald’s Around the World post? Don’t mind if I do!
Yes, I went to McDonald’s in India again. The menu is so odd; I can’t help myself! I may have a problem (this is the last time, I promise).
Paneer is a fresh, Indian cheese (it’s a bit cheese-curd-esque, only without that cheese’s gooey meltiness) that’s apparently pretty delicious when you grill it. Because I just had the paneer tikka at Radhey Shyam Bhatia Paneer Wale, and it was extremely satisfying.
I know what you’re thinking: pizza in Tokyo? Get out of here. I was thinking it too, but I dare you to watch this video and then not immediately want to check this place out.
Sometimes you don’t need anything fancy or gourmet; sometimes you just want a bunch of cheese, noodles, and tender pork.
If heaven exists, it probably looks something like the Nishiki Market in Kyoto: a seemingly endless street market filled with one vendor after another serving up delicious-looking food.
