Sticks & Sushi: “Come for a Swim” great hot & cold starters, 1250 Kč. Mini maki had beautifully nuanced flavors, 750 Kč. Sticks with grilled miso-marinated black cod were fantastic, 495 Kč. Miso-cured pork, not so special, 395 Kč. Loved creme brûlée black sesame crumble, 205 Kč
The Ultimate Beef Smash Burger at Le Petit Beef Bar on Wenceslas Sq was delicious, beautifully constructed. Black Angus patties had perfect sears + ideal, limited toppings: American cheese, pickles, ketchup. Top of the bun flaked off. 510 Kč with tasty but stubby little fries.
When it comes to fast food, I’m generally a fan of Bageterie Boulevard. Not this time. Their “Chick Star” special offer was filed with dry, lukewarm nuggets, 169 Kč. It’s a shame because their previous Greek pork gyros with tzatziki was quite nice.
Gonta’s got kick-ass Katsu & Karaage. Loved the new Japanese specialty spot near Jungmannovo náměstí. Had Rosu Katsu: panko-crusted, tender pork loin with cabbage topped by onion dressing, mustard, sticky rice, miso soup, macaroni, sweet pickles, sweet & tangy Katsu sauce 398 kč
The Truffle Cake with chocolate ganache from Erhartova Cukrárna was a decadent delight. The soft, velvety texture went down so smoothly, I was eating two slices at a time, 800 Kč
Rossopomodoro in Vinohrady has closed down. I liked their pizzas but never saw them very busy. I’m sure that space is expensive and needs volume business to keep it going. Maybe Mr.HotDoG or Sandwich Rodeo could make a go of it 😋
I still have not had a better fried chicken sandwich than this hefty one from Automat Matuška JzP. Everything hits right: crispy coat, the big hunk of tender, juicy meat inside, the grilled, thick toast, pickles, excellent house-made ranch with bacon bits. 271 Kč is a fair price
My favorite barbecue sauce — BBQUE — and it’s from Bavaria. It has a balanced sweet tang and the most natural smoky flavors I’ve found in a bottle. But t just disappeared from https://t.co/mRn1Kbbj8Q as I was about to order more. It’s still available on https://t.co/SdjWX2S3KT
Cheesus Crust! The end is near for the Take Easy EZ food truck and their small American-style sandwich shop. They’ve decided to move on from that business at the end of November. They’ll continue to produce their BBQ & deli meats in the spring https://t.co/lc7QB7PHAu
Žižkov gets Tipsy! Digging the new market near the TV tower. European staples but mostly an enjoyably eclectic collection of Asian items. Ramen cups + hot water. Fruit drink pouches & cups of ice. Vilgain section. Gyoza, corn dogs, octopus balls, bao buns, corn dogs, salted fish
Big burger news! The team behind streetfood sensation Buchek Brno plans to open Prague outlets of their new, super successful Pickle smashburger restaurant. https://t.co/GN5yr0IwLQ
I’ve developed a serious addiction to Kunin’s rice & semolina puddings. They are just so… refreshing. Not too sweet. I struggle to decide which I like better. My dealer’s name is Albert 😉
At Sandwich Rodeo, get a load of these loaded Thai Disco Fries. A boatload of sweet/savory masaman curry sauce, tender, grilled chicken, melted cheese, peanuts & coriander. A bombo of a combo, 295 Kč. Their brewed ice tea with perfect sweet-tart levels is my all-time favorite
