Amorette’s Patisserie is a bakery in Disney Springs that sells some seriously fancy looking pastries.
I know Guy Fieri gets a lot of flack, but I like him. Yes, he’s got some pretty strong bro/frat-boy vibes, but that’s mostly just part of the act. He’s way more knowledgeable about food than your standard Food Network personality — he’s a professionally trained chef who already had his own restaurants long before he stepped foot in front of the camera.
He’s also a fairly charismatic host. Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is a good show, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
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.
I’m just gonna say it. Pastries in Copenhagen > pastries in Paris.
Yeah, that’s right. I went there.
The tebirkes at Meyers Bageri was so good, I kinda had to go back.
I can’t say no to a pork sandwich. Whether it’s porchetta in Italy, leitão assado in Portugal, or gua bao in Taiwan, a really well prepared pork sandwich is a thing of beauty. It’s one of the best things in the world.
I was actually pretty excited to try Hart Bageri. It’s the brainchild of Richard Hart, the former head baker at the legendary Tartine Bakery in San Francisco. He teamed up with Rene Redzepi (the guy behind Noma — generally regarded as one of the best restaurants in the world) to open his own bakery in Copenhagen last year.
I heard someone say that tebirkes is to Denmark what a croissant is to France. Obviously, I had to try one.
Sorry America — though the hot dog is certainly in the pantheon of classic American foods, you’ve been bested. John’s Hotdog Deli in Copenhagen serves what is almost certainly the best hot dog I’ve ever had. It’s absolutely stunning.
They take their cinnamon rolls (or kanelsnegle) pretty seriously in Copenhagen, and most people seem to agree that some of the tastiest ones can be found at Skt. Peders Bageri.
I just ate one, and yeah — that makes sense. It’s amazing.
