13 Fun Summer Rehearsal Dinner Ideas

Your rehearsal dinner will set the tone for your wedding weekend, and choosing an unexpected activity, location, or menu is a sure way to get your guests into the celebratory spirit! For most people, summer is about getting outdoors, being active, and hanging out with friends. So, we think it’s only fitting your summer rehearsal dinner have one, if not all, of those elements! There are countless ways to get your wedding weekend started, but here are 13 of our all-time favorite summer rehearsal dinner ideas that would be perfect for any style, any budget, and any size crowd!

OUTDOOR BARBEQUE

Is there a more classic combination than summer and barbeque? We don’t think so! That’s why an outdoor barbeque continues to be a favorite summer rehearsal dinner idea for low-key couples, families on a budget, or anyone who simply loves to eat BBQ. Set up some picnic tables in your backyard or in a park, add pretty centerpieces, simple place settings, and some lighting if it will be a nighttime dinner — think cafe lights strung through the trees or candles on every table. You can either cater food from your favorite BBQ joint or have someone work the grill. Add some lawn games or other activities to give your guests a reason to get up and mingle, and you’re all set for a night of classic summer fun!

TACOS & TEQUILA

Maybe it’s our Texas roots showing — or maybe it’s just that everyone loves tacos — but if there is something that screams summer more than an outdoor barbeque, it’s a fiesta with tacos and tequila! It’s one of the simplest yet most delicious meals with hundreds of different variations that can satisfy even the pickiest eaters. For a rehearsal dinner with more than 15-20 people, hiring a food truck is the way to go. It gives people options without putting the burden of cooking for a large group on anyone in the group. If you’re expecting a smaller crowd, though, we love the idea of a make-your-own taco buffet with all the fixing, chips, salsa, and queso. Rent a margarita machine for the night, and you’ve got yourself a fiesta!

ICE CREAM SOCIAL

An ice cream social has to be the sweetest (pun intended!) summer rehearsal dinner idea we’ve heard! Not only will it help guests beat the heat, but it’s a totally unexpected treat that everyone will love. Grab a few pints of your favorite flavors, make your own ice cream at home, or hire an ice cream truck for the night! Then create a build-your-own bar with candy, sprinkles, fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, caramel, and maybe some salty items for guests who love the sweet-salty combo. If you want to take it to the next level for your adult guests, set up an adult milkshake and float station where they can add their choice of liquor.

CAMP-INSPIRED PICNIC IN THE PARK

A picnic in the park is always a fun, super casual idea, but we love the idea of adding a theme to make it extra special for a rehearsal dinner. Because it is summer, you can’t go wrong with a camp theme that allows guests to feel one with nature and bring back some of those nostalgic summer camp days. Lay down blankets and pillows in the grass, set up small boho-inspired tents or umbrellas so guests can get some shade, and provide lots of cold beverages. You could even plan a few group games, like horseshoes or charades, to help guests get to know each other.

SEAFOOD BOIL ON THE BEACH

Shrimp, clams, sausage, potatoes, corn, sun, sand…yes to all of the above! If you live near a beach or are having a destination beach wedding, there’s no better way to get your guests into the spirit than with a seafood boil. Check your area for companies who provide all-inclusive services to set up, cook, and clean up to make your life easy. Or make it a multi-hour event with friends or family who know how to boil seafood and invite the rest of your guests to join when it’s time to eat. Just be sure to let them know to wear casual attire that they don’t mind getting a little messy. Check the beach rules to see if you can have a bonfire and, if you can, you should definitely end the evening with s’mores.

YACHT COCKTAIL PARTY

If you’re fortunate enough to have access to a yacht, why not make use of it for your summer rehearsal dinner? On your invitations, ask guests to dress in comfortable but nice attire and set sail a few hours before sunset. This will give you and your guests time to mingle, enjoy delicious cocktails, and watch the sunset over the water. Provide one or two signature cocktails for the evening and don’t forget a few snacks, such as meat and cheese boards, mini sliders, or shrimp cocktail.

BACKYARD GAME NIGHT

If you’re looking for a super low-key option for your summer rehearsal dinner, a game night is great but a backyard game night is even better to enjoy that summer weather! For a large group, have a few different game stations set up — board games on the patio, lawn games in the grass — and have a plan for getting guests to rotate between them. Order pizzas, set out bowls of chips, pretzels, and veggies with dip, and buy a few cases of beer and bottles of wine. Guests won’t be expecting anything fancy for an at-home game night, which means you can spend more time enjoying their company in a super low-key setting.

LATE-NIGHT DESSERT BAR

There’s no rule that dinner has to be part of a rehearsal dinner — it’s really just the traditional name we’ve given the event. So, if your guests are getting in late in the evening, plan a late-night get together with a variety of desserts instead. You could set this up at a local coffee shop or even at your home. Simply provide a variety of your favorite desserts, such as brownies, cookies, pies, or chocolates, and a few non-sweet items for guests who might not have a sweet tooth.

FONDUE PARTY

Fondue parties are fun all year round but they make for a great summer rehearsal dinner idea because they can be so informal and casual. Rather than a sit-down meal, set up one or two stations with different cheeses, bread, meat, potatoes, and veggies. Provide a couple of different wines that pair with the cheeses you select, and make sure to have plenty of extra napkins and fondue skewers on hand. If you want to add dessert, bring out the chocolate fondue later in the evening, and provide berries, marshmallows, graham crackers, and bite-size brownies for guests to dip. This would also be a great time to bring out a dessert wine or nightcap to ease your guests into the rest of their evening.

BEER TASTING

If you and your fiance are really into beer or you have lots of craft breweries nearby, a beer tasting is a great option for a summer rehearsal dinner. Most breweries can handle large groups, but make sure you call ahead to ensure space and availability for the day you choose. If a lot of your out-of-town guests have never tried your local craft beer or are new to beer drinking, this would also be a great time to book a brewery tour for the entire group to learn the ins and outs of the process! For couples who prefer a more personal rehearsal dinner experience, have a DIY beer tasting at your home instead. Choose a variety of your favorite brews, stock up on cups, and let your guests do side-by-side tastings of all your favorites.

ROOFTOP LOUNGE PARTY

Downtown dwellers might not have yards or parks that can accommodate a rehearsal dinner group, but they do have what most suburban areas don’t: a rooftop. If you can’t take your guests out to a green space, take them up to look out over the city with a chic rooftop lounge party. Set up cocktail tables they can stand around and lounge areas where they can sit, and keep the space open so they feel free to move around and mingle. Create the mood with background music to drown out the city noise and provide the same signature cocktails and finger foods you would at a traditional cocktail party. Because rooftops evoke a swankier vibe, make sure to tell your guests to dress for the occasion and opt for elevated (but simple) details, such as well-designed floral centerpieces, gold or rose gold utensils, nice plates, and real wine glasses rather than plastic or paper.

OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT

A rehearsal dinner should speak to your personalities just as much — if not even more — than your actual wedding. So, for the movie buffs and cinephiles, we can’t think of anything better than a movie night under the stars! If you have access to an inflatable screen, that’s amazing. If not, simply hang a sheet between trees or on a free-standing frame or project the movie on a solid-color, unobstructed area of your house. Set up lawn chairs, bean bags, pillows, and blankets in the yard for guests to lounge on. And no movie watching party is complete without the classic foods: popcorn, candy, sodas, pickles, nachos, and pretzels. You could even take it up a notch with a top-your-own popcorn bar with various toppings, such as flavored salts, flavored olive oil, seasonings, or even candies for those sweet-n-salty fans.

AL FRESCO BREAKFAST FOR DINNER

Last, but certainly not least, is the trusty breakfast for dinner option! For summer, you should definitely consider making it an al fresco affair. We love the idea of creating a classic, elegant dinner party setup with tea lights, floral centerpieces, nice place settings, and pretty linens to set the mood, but then serving classic breakfast favorites to keep the overall vibe casual and fun. For food, think family-style dining with egg casseroles, stacks of mini pancakes, plates of bacon, and a variety of pastries that can be easily passed and shared. For drinks, keep the theme going with customizable Bloody Mary’s or mimosas. End the evening with coffee and donut holes, and you’ve got yourself the perfect breakfast for dinner party!

New York Pizza in Gangnam?

Café Kudeta (카페쿠데타) in Apgujeong Rodeo area closed recently, much to my friends’ chagrin. I work between the Apgujeong and Rodeo subway stations. Even though we have an hour for lunch, it’s not always enough time to have a Korean meal. We have grown tired of many of the Western-style restaurants, so imagine our surprise when Itaewon favourite Gino’s Pizza arrived around the corner from school!

Gino’s Pizza – First Impressions

The first thing that struck me about Gino’s Pizza in Gangnam is that when we walked in all the staff were super laid back and addressed us in English. Not only were we spoken to in English, any of the timid (sometimes rude) traits of Apgujeong Rodeo service staff were gone. While all the staff were friendly, everyone working at Gino’s Pizza seemed busy, on a mission… straight outta Brooklyn vibes.

In Crust We Trust

Their Itaewon (Noksapyeong) location boasts imported “high quality unbleached flour and California plum tomatoes. [Their] NY style dough is made from scratch, aged in-house, hand-tossed, and topped with [their] hand-crushed plum tomato sauce and house-shredded mozzarella. [They] bake each pizza to order in a brick deck to get that perfect thin crust.” I’ve had their pizza before (taken out fresh and through delivery via Shuttle Delivery), but I didn’t think it was anything incredibly special. Next time we head out in Apgujeong we’ll call ahead so we can try one of their pies.

The Vibe @ Gino’s Pizza

The vibe of Gino’s Pizza in Apgujeong is definitely more Gangnam Style than Itaewon chill. Various craft beers are advertised as well as Jarritos’ soda and its accompanying swag. While the Itaewon location is reminiscent of Little Italy, Gino’s Pizza south of the Han almost has surf vibes. It fits in well with its neighbours.

#gallery-0-14 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-14 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-14 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-14 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Date Night in Seoul

This spot would be great for group dinners as it has a large table in the back. Banquettes make it easy to shift around tables for groups large and small, and the space by the window is perfect for date night and people-watching. I always find it romantic to be near orchids…and crushed red-pepper flakes.

Gino’s Pizza – Caesar Salad (KRW 8,000)

My lunch date and I were in the mood to be very unfriendly with our diets. We ordered a few starters and an entree for lunch. The Caesar Salad (crispy romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, Croutons & 2 Breadsticks) came out first. I always seem to take decent salad dressing for granted (although I always cringe when I get some horrid yuja-mayonnaise concoction). This salad was exactly what I’d expect from a hole-in-the-wall mom and pop joint back home. The breadsticks erred on the fancy side (hello garlic, my old friend…), but the rest was classic summer camp Caesar. Not elevated, but it hit the spot.

Gino’s Famous (Lemon Pepper) Wings (KRW 10,000)

I’d definitely come back to Gino’s Pizza just for the wings. The Lemon Pepper wings (Lemon citrus and a punch of Black Pepper dry rub seasoning) came out right after the salad. We were both impressed by the wealth of meat on the wings and drumettes. The skin was quite thin, very crispy, and there wasn’t much gristle at all. I find wings in Korea to be either bare or fatty/ soggy. These wings were bomb. They weren’t kidding about the punch of black pepper and lemon citrus. I’ll be back to try their Hot Buffalo, Honey Sriracha, Creamy Parmesan Garlic, Honey BBQ, and Blazin Asian wings . Anyone down for a wing buffet soon?

Animal-Style, er – Gino’s Sloppy Fries (KRW 8,000)

A far cry from the cheap and cheerful price at Cry Cheeseburger, Gino’s Pizza has jumped on board Seoul’s latest foodie trend: Animal-Style Fries. A close dupe to In-N-Out, these crispy fries are loaded with American cheese, grilled onions, and Thousand Island sauce. The dressing always reminds me of home (I went to University near the archipelago of the same name), and I feel absolutely filthy dunking fries into this medley.

Gino’s Pizza Homestyle Italian Lasagna (1/2 Size KRW 9,000)

At lunchtime only, you can save yourself some calories and order a half size of the ooey-gooey lasagna. Gino’s version includes Lasagna noodles, House-made pasta sauce, ground beef, ricotta cheese, and “Mozza cheese baked to Perfection and served with 2 bread sticks”. I think I’ve been ruined by Brera‘s Béchamel dreams lasagne. The lasagna dish didn’t do much for me, but my dining companion liked it just fine. I could see it tasting great reheated as a hangover cure.

#gallery-0-15 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-15 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-0-15 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-15 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The Menu @ Gino’s Pizza

Click any of the above images for a look at the menu at Gino’s Pizza in Apgujeong!

Think Twice for a Slice – Wouldn’t it be nice?

Gino’s Pizza is a happy addition to the Apgujeong Rodeo/ Dosan Park/ Gangnam area. It’s nice to have quick and easy options nearby for lunch or after work socials. My only request is that they consider selling slices. Monster Pizza is always packed. It sells slices. With Monkey Beach just down the way, I think these guys would make a killing with the office lunch crowd, the expat teachers guild, and the drunky monkeys on Friday and Saturday nights.

We will be open everyday until May 9th for the extended holiday week! 저희 지노스피자는 연휴(~5/9)까지 정상영업 합니다! #지노스 #지노스피자 #뉴욕피자 #피자 #이태원맛집#이태원#ginosnypizza#ginospizza#ginospizzeria#nypizza#pizza#피맥#freedom

Quick Tips. For Fundraising Which Are Easy And Effective

Just what could be better than a picnic at the beach front for a household supper getaway? Sandwiches are very easy to prep, such a long time as you pack every little thing you need to make tasty, gratifying sandwiches like turkey pork, roast meat, hotdogs, deli meat product, tomatoes, as well as cheese. When choosing which pies to cook for your after supper surprise, stay away from acidic fruit products and also almonds. Could salmon is inexpensive, and also this is actually one thing that may be kept on the rack to have on palm for a fast as well as effortless dinner. Certainly not simply is dinner something that needs to happen, it may be flexible in what does it cost? time it takes.

The kind http://beautyandfit-blog.info/ from intermittent going on a fast that I perform every so often is actually a 14- to 16-hour quickly. Rather than throwing together a couple of simple substances for a simple baked meal and a tossed salad for dinner on weekdays, we get pizza as well as soft drinks considering that we get home behind time from work. If you want to think about organizing a dinner play date that attaches youngsters to an acquainted character, you could possibly hold a dinner that is actually concentrated on a familiar Disney film or even personality, a beloved friend off Sesame Road, or every other popular kid friendly tv superstar. Keep an eye out for little one friendly clubs as you go to tourist attractions in the region; the Red Lion bar in Maidstone applies bbqs in the summer, and also is actually simply a stone's throw coming from Leeds Castle, typically stated to be the most wonderful palace in England. When you do not have the benefit of face expressions or tone from vocal to help you translate the intent, it is actually incredibly effortless for damaging miscommunication to take place. Actually, a well-balanced supper can be as nourishing and also tasty a meal as you've ever before appreciated. This is in fact a great method to please particular eaters and delight in effortless family members suppers with wonderful dishes really loved by all. It also develops devotion among customers as they are wary of leaving behind a welcoming bistro that has been actually pampering them with rebates. Certainly this is merely a pointer in order to get you assuming, so you find out specifically ways to use the secret dinner mission at your event! I am actually helping make a curried cauliflower and also beetroot dish listed below for supper tomorrow. Serve that along with your beloved breakfast edges or even dinner side recipes; either way, it is actually a victor of a supper! Finish off a special summer supper with this incredibly stylish gelatin pudding that is actually short on fats and also long on flavor.

The Best New Sandwiches In LA added to Google Docs

The Best New Sandwiches In LA

LA will always be known as a taco and sushi town, but our sandwich culture is quietly as strong as any city in the country. That’s right folks, people in LA do, in fact, eat bread. So much so that even in the midst of a global pandemic, great new sandwiches have continued to emerge in every corner of town. From Cambodian num pang in Lincoln Heights to a breakfast sandwich that’s being dropped down (via bucket) from an apartment in East Hollywood, here are the 13 new sandwiches you need to be eating in LA right now.

Oh, and for the record, tacos and burgers aren’t sandwiches - don’t @ us - so we did separate lists of The Best New Burgers In LA and The Best New Tacos In LA.

Featured In The LA Socially Distant Summer Guide Everything you need to enjoy some semblance of summer. THE SANDWICHES Little Coyote $ $ $ $ Pizza , Sandwiches in Long Beach $$$$ 2118 E 4th St

Little Coyote is a neighborhood pizza shop in Long Beach with New York-style pies that are worth getting on the 405 to eat. That said, if you come here and only order the pizza, you’ve done yourself a grave disservice. And that’s because Little Coyote is also home to two incredible sandwiches - The Classic Italian and the Meatball. Topped with mortadella, capicola, soppressata, provolone, and the works, The Italian is your traditional deli-style cold cut sub and easily a meal on its own. The Meatball, on the other hand, is made with slightly sweet beef/pork meatballs and will send you into a deep existential state as you try to figure out why more restaurants in this town don’t serve meatball subs.

Gamboge $ $ $ $ Cambodian in Lincoln Heights $$$$ 1822 N Broadway

Located in Lincoln Heights, Gamboge is a Cambodian deli/cafe/marketplace with excellent food that’s perfect for a quick lunch on one of our favorite patios in town. While we certainly recommend the chicken salad and the grilled coconut corn, the stars of the show at Gamboge are the num pang. A close cousin to the banh mi, they’re served on crunchy bolillo bread (a variation of a baguette) and filled with everything from poached chicken to grilled oyster mushrooms. Our favorite right now, however, is the spicy pork shoulder, which comes marinated in a lemongrass paste and topped with pate, chili jam, mayo, pickled papaya and carrot slaw, and other garnishes. It’s a fragrant and savory masterpiece, with just a little kick of heat at the end.

Chainsaw $ $ $ $ Sandwiches , Ice Cream in Historic Filipinotown $$$$

Located inside a garage in Echo Park/Historic Filipinotown, Chainsaw started as an underground dinner party series in 2019 run by the former pastry chef at Here’s Looking At You (RIP) and a sous chef at Providence. During quarantine, it’s become a contactless pop-up selling homemade pies, ice cream, and a grilled pork sandwich that needs to be put on your priority list immediately. Available only on Sundays as a part of their $30 “Chainsaw Lunchbox,” this hefty sandwich comes topped with smoked potatoes, shredded lettuce, black butter, tomatoes, garlic mayo, and grilled pork shoulder we’re confident would be a star dish on any restaurant menu in town.

Hotville Chicken $ $ $ $ American , Southern in Baldwin Hills $$$$ 4070 Marlton Ave

Owned and operated by Nashville hot chicken royalty, Kim Prince, Hotville Chicken opened its doors in late 2019 and immediately became one of the best places to eat hot chicken in LA. And don’t get us wrong - the chicken is fantastic, and absolutely what you should come here for, but if you leave without getting one of the hot fish sandwiches, you need to turn around and go back. Crispy on the outside, the white fish itself basically melts in your mouth, but also acts as an ideal agent (along with the excellent slaw) to cut through whatever heat level you put on it.

Johnny's West Adams $ $ $ $ Sandwiches in Jefferson Park , West Adams $$$$ 4327 W Adams Blvd

The neon sign affixed to the building shouts PASTRAMI in big, glowing letters, so, yeah, that’s what you’re going to order at Johnny’s, the longstanding late-night spot reimagined (and reopened) earlier this year. That house-smoked pastrami is slightly peppery, sliced super-thick, and served simply on marble rye from Tartine Bakery with a dab of deli mustard. This is a big, bold showcase for the deeply smoked brisket, the bite of the bark, and the semi-rendered fat cap (we always prefer our pastrami a little fatty), with an emphasis on big - this is also a meal unto itself, so if you’re looking to try a couple different things here, we’d recommend ordering a half sandwich.

Katsu Sando $ $ $ $ Japanese , Sandwiches in Chinatown $$$$ 736 N Broadway

Open since late July, Katsu Sando is a tiny sandwich shop in Chinatown that pays homage to Japanese convenience stores. The menu is filled with grab-and-go onigiri (Japanese rice balls), katsu curry plates, and a variety of excellent milk bread sandos. While the pork katsu, egg salad, and honey walnut shrimp are all worth ordering, our current favorite is the menchi katsu. A deep-fried wagyu beef patty topped with frisee, mustard miso ginger slaw, and katsu sauce - it’s a perfectly balanced sandwich and the kind of quick lunch that’ll also keep you full until dinner. Tip: Don’t miss the wagyu curry cheese fries, either.

Calabama $ $ $ $ Sandwiches in East Hollywood $$$$ 5406 Lexington Ave.

For all the terrible things 2020’s given us, at least we can now get breakfast sandwiches dropped to us in buckets from apartment balconies. Seriously. Calabama is a weekend-only pop-up that operates out of an apartment in East Hollywood, where the pick-up system literally involves a bucket drop from a top-floor fire escape. It’s an experience, but make no mistake, the reason you’re really here is the tremendous breakfast sandwich. Stuffed with fluffy eggs, bacon, and avocado, it’s basically the world’s greatest breakfast grilled cheese - and that’s a superlative that should get absolutely everyone out of bed on a Sunday morning. Also, the chef makes her own excellent hot sauce that’s available by the bottle as well. Tip: Get some, that and then follow their Instagram for all the latest details.

Bridgetown Roti $ $ $ $ Caribbean in Arts District $$$$ 672 S. Santa Fe. Ave.

Bridgetown Roti is an excellent weekend-only pop-up in the Arts District that specializes in Caribbean street food such as flaky Jamaican patties, fish cakes, and a curry chicken roti wrap you’ll be texting your friends about for days. Filled with tender chicken thighs, crispy potatoes, turmeric spiced cabbage, and scallions, don’t be fooled by its placement in the appetizer section - this can absolutely be its own meal. We say that not only because it’s big, but because once you take a bite of it, you’ll realize you’re not sharing it with anyone. Follow them on Instagram for the most up-to-date ordering information.

Ggiata Delicatessen $ $ $ $ Sandwiches in Pico Union $$$$ 1842 W Washington Blvd

Don’t let the sandwich named after Jon Hamm fool you - Ggiata is a classic Italian deli at heart (even if they’re currently operating out of a takeout/delivery hub on Washington, between Arlington Heights and Pico-Union). And as such, you can probably guess the best sandwich here. The Classic is their version of an Italian sub, and they definitely do it justice. Loaded with meats and cheeses - ham, salami, capicola, and smoked provolone - and piled with fixings like Calabrian chili for a little pop, it’s also served on a wonderfully charred seeded baguette, which adds a slightly bitter punch. We also really like their chicken parm sub, and the understated (and oft-overlooked) caprese sandwich, too.

Papilles $ $ $ $ French in Franklin Village , Hollywood $$$$ 6221 Franklin Ave

Papilles is a casual French bistro in Franklin Village and one of our all-time favorite restaurants in Hollywood. While they’re still doing their traditional French menu, they’ve also added a casual takeout menu during quarantine that features a fantastic patty melt and one of the Best New Burgers In LA. But here, we’re talking about the fried chicken sandwich. Unless you’ve been living under the world’s largest rock, you’re probably aware that fried chicken sandwiches are all the rage these days, but Papilles’ version is one you need to seek out. We love it for its simplicity - just perfectly tender fried chicken, pickles, and mayo on a pillowy potato bun.

Tortas Hula Hula $ $ $ $ Salvadoran in South Los Angeles $$$$ 10425 S. Avalon Blvd.

Located about 15 minutes south of Downtown in Green Meadows, Tortas Hula Hula is a tiny stand that sets up shop every weekend in a parking lot along Avalon Blvd. and specializes in one of El Salvador’s most popular sandwiches - tortas estilo Hula Hula. Named after the San Salvador city park they originated from, the sandwich is made with two beef patties, ham, mayo, smashed avocado, curtido (Salvadoran cabbage slaw), and salsa dulce all packed onto a long, flaky pan flauta that’s been toasted on the grill. It’s a remarkably flavorful, well-balanced sandwich and one of the most unique you’ll find in all of LA. Call (323) 627-3232 for daily hours of operation.

Gold Land BBQ $ $ $ $ BBQ in Culver City $$$$ 12430 Washington Blvd.

This parking lot pop-up behind Menotti’s Coffee in Culver City is grilling tremendous Santa Maria-style BBQ every Sunday, in an atmosphere that feels like a true neighborhood block party. There’s a big open fire pit, tables and blankets strewn about, music blasting out of speakers, and even a separate truck selling frozen margaritas. While there isn’t a bad thing on the menu, The Lone Ranger is a stand-out. Tri-tip, onions, cilantro, and house BBQ sauce all served on a soft potato roll, it’s admittedly a straightforward sandwich, but one where the quality of the meat does the talking.

Brett Keating The Bad Jew $$$$

The Bad Jew is “A Very Unkosher Jewish Deli Pop-up” that’s been operating weekends out of The Nosh in Beverly Hills and The Naughty Pig in Weho. The chef cures her own pork pastrami and corned pork using a secret spice mix - and the results are tremendous. They’ve got two sandwiches: The Reubecca, a corned pork Reuben with havarti, pickle-heavy Russian dressing, and sauerkraut, or the Danny Boy, with pork pastrami, slaw, and that same dressing. Both are excellent, and choosing between them is like choosing a favorite child - so just order both and you won’t have any regrets. Follow them on Instagram for all the latest locations and info.

25+ Street Food in Europe that You Need To Try

[toc]

Balik Ekmek in Istanbul

By Anca and Sinan | Dream Book and Travel

Without a doubt, the Bosphorus is what makes Istanbul tick, a unique destination uniting two continents and millennia of human history. Assume you were to only see one place in Istanbul, that will definitely be the Galata bridge, across the Golden Horn. It links two of the city’s oldest districts and it is lined with traditional fishermen boats which sell the most famous street food in all Istanbul – the fish sandwich, also known as balık ekmek.

Prepared on the spot, with fresh fish straight out of the Bosphorus grilled on the spot and seasoned in a bread bun with vegetables, this is the best snack to warm you up on a cold winter in Istanbul together with a hot glass of Turkish tea. If it’s summer, go for pomegranate or apple drinks, and don’t be surprised if you’ll rub shoulders with businessmen on their lunch break or women on a break from running errands.

Balık ekmek is not there just for the tourists, it’s as popular with locals who appreciate the fresh flavors of the city they love just as much as you will!

As the price of one sandwich is below one euro, you will probably be able to get like 4 for the price of a Starbucks latte, so don’t hesitate to go back for more! Enjoy!

Banichka and Kifla in Bulgaria

By Alexandrina Nikolova | EarthOSea

The cuisine in Bulgaria is one of the most delicious in Europe and is definitely a must-try. Thus, while you are spending some time in Bulgaria, you should definitely try fast food too. Among the best street options for traditional Bulgarian foods are the Banichka (Banitsa) and the Kifla.

The Banichka is a traditional Bulgarian salt pie made with a special type of phyllo dough and Bulgarian white cheese. In addition to that, you can get Boza, which is a wheat sour drink that is usually drank by locals while eating Banichka. The Banichka can be found in every bakery or street food stand and varies in types. The price of the Banichka is half the price of a Starbucks coffee and is absolutely worth the try!

The Kifla is another traditional street food in Bulgaria that is definitely worth the try. It is made out of nice puffy dough and is usually filled with rosehip marmalade, but you can also get it with chocolate or other types of marmalade. Thus, if you are craving something sweet you should definitely try it out! Also, it is not expensive and usually costs half the price of a Starbucks coffee.

Belgian Waffles

By Bhushavali | My Travelogue by Bhushavali

Belfian Waffles | Flickr | Marco Verch

Did you know there are 2 very different types of waffles within Belgium namely Brussels Waffles and Liège Waffles?

While Brussels waffles are lighter, thinner and are a perfect rectangle, Liege waffles are thicker, chewier and have uneven & caramelized edges!!! Though they’re named after 2 cities, you will get both types of waffles in all the cities! Quite amusingly, the very busy waffle kiosks close to the very busy tourist spots of Brussels – Grand Place & Mannekin Pis – are actually Liege waffles!

You can have the waffles plain or customize them with a gazillion toppings including whipped cream, icecream, fruit slices, syrups and more. My personal suggestion – skip ice cream on it – waffles are meant to be had warm and ice cream topping spoils the temperature and flavour of it! Best place & time would be a hot afternoon sitting down at Grand Place! The fresh, plain waffles cost €2, the ones with all the toppings go upto €6-7! Pre-packed waffles are available in most super-markets. While they are great souvenirs, they don’t even come close to the freshly prepared ones, right out of the waffle iron!

Bocadillo de jamón in Spain

By Inma Gregorio | A World To Travel

One of the things Spain is most famous for is Serrano ham.

Born and raised in this country, I have eaten Serrano ham from a young age in multiple ways, with melon, alone, with olive oil, in small squares with pasta or pizza, with peas, and many other ways. But perhaps the most common way to eat this delicacy is as part of a simple ham sandwich.

The Museo del Jamón chain of establishments – which can be found in some of the most central squares, avenues and streets of Madrid, the capital – knows this well. Thus, they have created a pack of 1 sandwich and 1 can of soda for € 2.5.

But you don’t have to go there to enjoy it. In any of the 17 Spanish regions, it is very easy to get the two main ingredients, bread, and ham, in a supermarket. The kg of ham is around € 15 to € 60 (depending on its age, how the pigs were fed, and the general quality of the product) but you will only need around 100 grams; and a good loaf of bread can be purchased for € 1. Enjoy!

Boquerones in Southern Spain

By Joanna | Andalucia In My Pocket

Boquerones | Flickr | Kent Wang

Boquerones is Malaga’s most famous dish. No matter how you have them, boquerones have deep roots into the city’s culture, as far as the locals proudly call themselves by this name.

Boqueron, in translation, means anchovy. However, they are not what you would imagine when you think of an anchovy. Boquerones are bigger and fleshier fish, that grow between 9 and 12 centimetres long and are cooked from fresh and not preserved as their relatives do.

Everywhere you go in Malaga you will find boquerones: in the form of espetos – grilled on a skewer over an open fire, boquerones al limon – marinated in lemon and then deep fried, boquerones en vinagre – marinated in vinegar for 24 hours and served raw.

There is no complete holiday in Spain without having boquerones on the beach, accompanying a cold pint of beer. They are relatively cheap, with espetos costing between 5 and 7 euros, and a tapa of fried boquerones costing around 3-5 euros. There are some places in Malaga where you can even get them for 2 euros.

Bramborák in the Czech Republic

By Veronika Primm | Travel Geekery

Bramborák is one of the most typical dishes of the Czech Republic, and one of the best street foods in Europe. Essentially a potato pancake, it consists of only a few ingredients and is not hard to make, just a little laborsome.

Bramborák is often sold at markets as popular street food. To have just one as a hearty snack is often a preferred way to making the potato pancakes at home and eating a plateful of them.

The best bramboráks should not be too oily, have crisp edges and a soft center. They have to be made from quality potatoes and smell of marjoram and garlic.

The price can be anything from a few crowns in villages to a 100 CZK and more in cities (especially Prague), even surpassing the price of a tall cappuccino at Starbucks. The price is often counted by weight.

Similar types of potato pancakes can be found in the whole Central and Eastern Europe and parts of Germany.

Cevapi in Serbia

By Mark Anderson | VogaTech

If you find yourself in Serbia, but also in the entire Balkans, and ask the locals which street food to try, you will most likely get the answer cevapi!

Every chef has his own unique recipe and way of preparation, which makes his cevapi different and special. Generally, cevapi are made from pure beef or a mixture of beef and lamb or pork. The meat is finely minced and spiced with salt, ground pepper, and other spices. Then, it is shaped into rolls 8-10 cm long. It is grilled on BBQ over moderate heat to keep the meat juicy.

In a portion, there are 5 or 10 cevapi served in a bun or somun (specially prepared flatbread) with traditional side dishes such as onions, crushed peppers, and kajmak. But, it will also offer you other side dishes such as french fries, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, ketchup, sour cream, and others. Cevapi are very tasteful and juicy if you travel to Serbia, it’s must-taste street food.

The price of a small portion of cevapi (5 pcs) is about 250-300 rsd, which is around 2-2.2eur, similar to the price of coffee late in Starbucks.

Chimney cake in Budapest

By Krisztina Harsanyi | She Wanders Abroad

Chimney cakes are one of the most popular street food in Europe, especially in the Christmas markets. While many people associate them with Prague, chimney cakes originally come from Hungary! The first known recipe of chimney cake comes from Transylvania (West-Romania, which was also part of the Kingdom of Hungary at that time) but this recipe didn’t include any sweetening. The sweet version of chimney cake was first born in 1795 when a Hungarian recipe suggested sugar coating.

So, what is a chimney cake exactly? It’s practically a sweet dough that is rolled in granulated sugar, wrapped around a cone and roasted over charcoal. During the baking process the sugar caramelizes so the crust will become golden brown on the outside and the sweet scent of caramelized sugar will catch your nose immediately. The last stop is choosing the coating, which is totally up to you. The most popular choices are coconuts, cinnamon, walnuts or chocolate, but nowadays ice cream filled chimney cakes are becoming more and more popular.

Even if you spend only a weekend in Budapest, you should try this traditional Hungarian street food! You will find many stalls across the city selling chimney cakes all year round. The price can vary a lot as you can get a small chimney cake for 300 HUF (0.8 EUR) at the kiosks around metro stations and main squares, while you can also spend up to 1,800 HUF (5 EUR) for a full-extra chimney cake at the Christmas markets.

Cig köfte in Turkey

By Sasha | Mog and Dog Travels

If you are looking for a good vegan street food snack in Turkey, then look no further than spicy çiğ köfte to set your tastebuds alight. Originating from Eastern Turkey, this dish, according to local folklore, has apparently been enjoyed since the time of Abraham. In Turkish, çig means “raw” and köfte means “meatball”. “How on earth is that vegan?” I hear you ask. Well…

The original version of the dish was made with very finely ground beef or lamb however in 2009, the Turkish government banned the street sale of raw çiğ köfte, thereby leading to the now popular vegan version (for those still hankering after raw meaty goodness, the ‘original’ version of the dish is still served in a few specially licensed restaurants).

Çiğ köfte restaurants usually have a big burly man at the helm – no surprise when you consider the amount of physical work involved in making the dish. Bulgur wheat is kneaded into chopped onions, parsley and water until it all gets very soft. Huge dollops of tomato paste, pepper paste, red chilli flakes, urfa pepper flakes, cumin and sometimes walnuts are then added as everything continues to be kneaded until well combined.

The kneading process (which can take 30 – 90 minutes in some places) is supposed to ‘cook’ the mixture, making the end result look and taste very similar to meat. The good news is that most places have a çiğ köfte mix ready, so you won’t have to wait that long.

Currywurst in Berlin

By Vicki Franz | Vicki Viaja

One thing is clear: anyone who visits the German capital Berlin cannot leave without trying a real Berlin Currywurst. This dish is as much a part of Berlin as the Brandenburg Gate and should definitely be an integral part of every Berlin itinerary.

The Berlin currywurst can be served in two ways. You either buy them as a snack in between. Then it is served as a chopped sausage in a tomato curry sauce.

Or you can order them in a restaurant. Then there is a large German sausage, which is also served with a curry tomato sauce. Of course, there are also fries and, depending on the restaurant, a small side salad.

The price of this Berlin specialty naturally changes depending on whether it is enjoyed as a snack or as a whole meal. As a snack, you can find them in some places for less than a Starbucks coffee. In the restaurant, they are often cheaper than many other dishes (usually fewer than 10 €) – but they still fill you up entirely.

Good news for all vegetarians: By now, you can even get the famous German sausage as a veggie version in many currywurst restaurants throughout Berlin.

Frites in Belgium

By Babs and Kath | Next Stop Belgium

If there’s one thing you should know about Belgians, it’s that they absolutely love their ‘frietjes’. This potato dish known as chips or French(ed) fries exists in its ultimate version in the tiny Western-European country, where locals eat them at least once a week.

While they are often made at restaurants and at home to accompany an array of meat, fish or vegetable dishes, Belgians usually eat them straight from the ‘frietkot’. In the past those places looked like a shed/stall, but times have changed and now the golden deliciousness is mostly (but not always!) sold in a regular take-away restaurant – in Belgium known as a ‘frituur’.

We do not only eat frites though, we accompany them with a sauce of choice and some kind of deep-fried side dish (usually meat but nowadays there are many fish and vegetarian options as well).

To compare the price, a Starbucks Caffe Latte Grande will cost you €3,65 in Belgium. You can pick fries in a couple of sizes, usually setting you back between €1,50 and €2,50 for a package. Sauce will be about €0,80 and a side dish ranges from €1,50 to €4. This means you can get an entire meal for about €5-6. That’s about the same price as a McD menu, but a whole lot better!

Gyros in Greece

By Nisha Dalal | And There She Goes Again

Gyro is my favorite wrap sandwich that is a staple of the Greek Cuisine with a variety of meat fillings and vegetable options. It is similar to my favorite German-ized fast food, Doner Kebab.

Gyro contains meat (that could be pork, lamb, beef or chicken) that is roasted and cut into paper-thin slices. These meat slices are then piled on pita bread and topped with onions, spices, tomatoes, roasted potatoes, cayenne pepper, and tzatziki. Tzatziki is a classic greek dressing made of strained yogurt and infused with cucumber, salt, pepper, garlic, and dill.

In Greek, gyros mean to turn and it refers to the vertical meat holder than turns and roasts the meat gradually.

Fun fact: Even though Gyros are one of the most famous Greek dishes, it’s one of the most mispronounced ones as well. It is pronounced as yee-roh. The G is silent since there is no letter G in the Greek language.

I had eaten gyros before but I understood its true flavors during my short but epic trip to Thessaloniki. The best part is this amazing and filling dish costs only around 3 euros, a Starbucks small cappuccino costs more than this!

Hot dogs in Iceland

By Nisha Dalal | And There She Goes Again

What do you eat when you travel to one of the world’s most expensive countries? Hot dogs! As weird as it sounds, Hot dogs are Iceland’s most popular street food. Locals eat them, visitors eat them and even Bill Clinton ate them when he was in Reykjavik. You can find them in all the major streets in the capital Reykjavik.

I love the Icelandic hotdogs: grilled sausage, toasted soft bread, fried crispy onions, a mix of mustard and tomato dressing, all with the side of the stunning view of the city.

While Reykjavik city is not very budget-friendly, these hotdogs help a bit. You can get an average hotdog for about 4-5 USD, i.e. same price as a medium cappuccino in Starbucks. One of the fun facts about Iceland, aside from their cool Viking clap and Icelandic horses, is that there isn’t a Starbucks or McDonalds in their country.

Kapsalon in Netherlands and Belgium

By Lieze and Josh | Glitter Rebel

Are you looking for a nice and greasy midnight meal after all those amazing (and strong) Belgian beers? Then you will HAVE to try a ‘Kapsalon’. This amazing meal literally means ‘’hairdresser’’ in Dutch and got its weird name after Nataniël Gomes, the owner of a hair salon, would regularly ask the owners of the Turkish restaurant down the road to make this exact dish. The dish made it onto the menu of the restaurant and soon became an absolute favourite in shawarma and doner restaurants in the Netherlands and Belgium. In 2017 kapsalon even became a fan favourite in Kathmandu after a Dutch chef introduced it in the Nepalese capital.

So what is a Kapsalon I hear you ask. Well, it is a layer of perfectly cooked fries, topped with doner meat and a massive layer of cheese. This is put under a grill for a few minutes so the cheese is deliciously melted over the meat and fries. On top of all this cheesiness you will get crispy salad and tomatoes and a massive squirt of garlic sauce. That, by definition, makes it a balanced meal – no?

Anyway – this calorie bomb is one of the most amazing fast food dishes I have ever had and everyone I ever introduced to this heavenly delicious dish has fallen in love with Kapsalon. If you visit Belgium, the Netherlands or apparently even Nepal, you need to try a Kapsalon!

Khachapuri in Georgia

By Maggie Turansky | The World Was Here First

Ajarian Khachapuri | Flickr | Marco Verch

Arguably the most internationally famous dishes in Georgian cuisine also happens to be one of the best fast food dishes to eat in the country — and that is khachapuri! Khachapuri, or cheese-stuffed bread, has countless different iterations throughout Georgia but still remains one of the favourite dishes in this Eastern European nation.

Khachapuri is available almost everywhere in Georgia, from streetside bakeries to finer dining establishments. While there are many different types of khachapuri that can be found throughout the country, arguably the most notable is Adjaruli khachapuri, a boat-shaped cheese bread filled with molten cheese and topped with a golden egg yolk and a pat of butter. Hailing from the Adjara region of Western Georgia, this decadent treat can be enjoyed at divey cafes or proper restaurants throughout the country and it is always delicious.

The most common type of khachapuri that one may find in a streetside bakery, however, is khachapuri Imeruli. This iteration is a bit more simple and is simply a round bread stuffed with cheese, however, it is nonetheless completely delicious.

So if you want to experience one of the most delicious street food dishes in Europe, then head to Georgia and sample a khachapuri!

Lahmajo in Armenia

By Megan and Aram | Absolute Armenia

Lahmajo is one of the most common street foods you’ll find in Armenia and it is known as an Armenian pizza here because of its flat nature and that it contains a lot of ingredients. In other parts of the world, many will refer to it as ‘lahmacun’ or ‘Turkish pizza’.

Originating in the Middle East, lahmajo received a huge boost and movement around the world with the Armenian diaspora and food enthusiasts enjoying this simple, yet tasty treat. One of the biggest perks about ordering lahmajo is that it merely takes minutes to prepare and cook and even fewer to consume!

On lahmajo, you will find minced meat marinated with spices and herbs, parsley, and tomato sauce. Sometimes, they will even include options that contain cheese or other ingredients. To have a truly Armenian experience, enjoy lahmajo with a glass or tan (Armenian salty yogurt drink) and lemon.

Another great thing about lahmajo is the price point. In Yerevan or Gyumri, the two largest cities in Armenia, you will pay around $0.50 for one at small kiosks and bakeries. If you order in a fancier restaurant or setting, it will be about $1 for one. It truly is a must-eat fast treat when you visit Armenia!

Langoș in Transylvania

By Ana Grozea | Jaunting Trips

It’s no secret that in this part of the world, South-Eastern Europe and the Balkans – we share a lot of recipes, be it homemade or street food. And if it’s so wide spread, you know it’s good.

Langoș (langoshi) is a traditional food in Transylvania, with Hungarian roots. Due to the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this delicious street food can be found from Poland down to Bulgaria, and from Czech Republic all through Croatia, Serbia and Slovakia. However, if you come to Dracula’s land, in Transylvania, it’s one of the “must eats”.

The Langoș is made from basic ingredients: flower, yeast, salt, water or milk, fried in oil. After trekking in the Carpathian Mountains it’s the perfect snack to compensate for all that workout. The advantage of this quick delicious dish is that you can have it with either sweet or savory toppings. Of course, if you are in Transylvania, you should definitely go for sour cream and garlic. But you can add ham, graded cheese, powdered sugar or delicious homemade jams.

You can find it around most pastry shops in cities like Brașov, Sighișoara and Sibiu and it is one of the most popular street foods in local fairs and traditional or medieval festivals in Europe. Since it’s a street food, it’s also cheap. A plain one can be around 8 Ron (less than 2 euro or 2 USD) and one with toppings can go up to double that price. Basically, between a Regular and a Grande latte.

Oysters in Bordeaux

By Jennifer and Tim | Bordeaux Travel Guide

You might not think of oysters as a street food, but in Bordeaux, oysters are one of the ultimate street foods found year round. Located just 30 miles from Bordeaux, the Bassin of Arcachon is famous for its oyster production. Unlike Brittany oysters that are sold in mass commercially, the Cap Ferret oysters of the Bassin of Arcachon are only sold directly to consumers at markets throughout the department, direct at the no-frills oyster shacks that dot the Bassin, and to very few restaurants locally. That’s because there’s only around 350 oyster farms producing a small production of 10,000 oysters per year.

Cap Ferret oysters are a Bordeaux specialty, and priced typically around just 1.50€ per oyster, are a bargain at that. You won’t find the oysters exported or sold at grocery stores, but you can find oyster producers selling their fresh oysters at local markets. Take your plate of 6 oysters with a glass of white Bordeaux to one of tiny tables set up to enjoy the oysters at. Typically at markets a plate of 6 oysters and a glass of white Bordeaux is just 6€ and Jennifer and Tim of Bordeaux Travel Guide say you’ll definitely feel like a local indulging in this Bordeaux tradition.

Paella in Spain

By Manjulika Pramod

No trip to Spain is complete without digging into Paella. It is one of the oldest and most popular dishes in Spanish cuisine. I definitely knew about Paella before traveling to Spain but I learned about it more when I visited Valencia and Ibiza. My first tryst with Paella had taken place in a culinary fest (Sunday Farmers Market) in Johannesburg but I am not sure if I liked it. But what I ate in Valencia, the place which deserves all the credit for inventing the dish, was definitely worth remembering. I relished every bite of it. Though the rice is quite different to what we eat in India, the charm lies in the stock, the grain variety and the way of preparation.

The metal pan or “paellera”, in which Paella is made, is made from iron (cast iron preferred) or polished steel. It was interesting to learn that Paella gets its name from the vessel (wide, shallow traditional flat pan) in which it is prepared and served too. Paella is actually not about single serves but its is about many people eating together. So its very important to order your Paella as per the number of people who would be eating. At good restaurants, its might cost you somewhere between 20 to 35 Euros per head for a Paella meal without wine. Paella is not just staple food of Spain but street food too. It is available everywhere and one can relish it in its many recipes. One need not get confused about the variety and must go for it at 2-3 places. Every chef in Valencia has a story to tell when it comes to Paella, so you will not be disappointed.

A classic Paella is about simple and traditional flavors. The Sea food paella seems to be popular at most of the places but originally Valencia claims that it was originally cooked with rice and meat. And don’t you worry because you do get a vegetarian version too. Also, Paella has different tastes in different cities of Spain. What I ate in Ibiza was different than in Valencia but both were good.

Panelle in Sicily, Italy

Contributed by Wendy Werneth | The Nomadic Vegan

Panelle is a ubiquitous street food snack that you will find all over the streets of Sicily, and especially in the city of Palermo. It’s quite a regional specialty, though, so if you go looking for it in other parts of Italy you’ll probably be disappointed. Panelle is made from a dough of chickpea flour, which is seasoned, fried and cut into squares. Since chickpeas have their origins in the Middle East, it’s believed that they were introduced to Sicily when Muslims conquered the island in the 9th century AD.

Vegetarians and vegans traveling to Italy will be happy to know that panelle is one of many vegan Italian street food snacks. The reason it’s my favorite is because it’s vegan yet also quite filling and full of protein. Sometimes you’ll see a slice of panelle stuffed into a bread roll and eaten as a sandwich. My favorite place to eat panelle is at the is Rosticceria Palermitana da Andrea, a little hole-in-the-wall eatery in the town of Noto.

Panzerotti in Southern Italy

By Susanne | My Golden Pear

Panzerotti are not only a popular street food in southern Italy, these deliciously filled, deep-fried dumplings are a statement and art, especially in Campania and Puglia where they are available in every corner. The otherwise already picky Italians are especially picky when it comes to this. And, of course Mama’s Panzerotti are the best!

These handmade, palm-sized delicacies are filled with mozzarella and tomato, with cime di rape or seafood. But also other creations are available in the Panifici. The ones filled with sweet chickpea purée are particularly interesting. Choose one from the display cabinet, take it and eat it immediately and warm while standing or sitting. Freshly deep-fried Panzerotti should be left to cool down a bit because the inside is extremely hot.

Pro Tip: Make sure you take several napkins with you. The delicious filling likes to drip out.

Depending on its size, a Panzerotto is a whole meal and very filling. With prices between 1,50€ and 3€ you are well fed. Order a cafe for 90 cents afterwards and you are happy! Guaranteed!

Patatas Bravas in Spain

One of my favourite European dishes is patatas bravas from Spain. It’s a very popular tapas dish that consists of fried potatoes cut into irregular cubes and served warm with a spicy tomato sauce. While it originated in Madrid, you can find it in restaurants and tapas bars all over Spain, especially in Seville. It usually costs around €5 (in comparison, a cup of coffee costs around €1.50 in Spain).

One thing I love about patatas bravas is that it’s so simple, you can easily make it at home when you’re missing Spanish food! All you need are potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, sugar, paprika, and chili powder. Once you’ve roasted the potatoes, you just need to mix everything else in a boiling pan to create the sauce. Not only is this dish very filling, it’s also super flavorful — imaging french fries with ketchup, but a lot classier and tastier. So next time you visit Spain, make sure to give patatas bravas a try!

Piadina in Italy

By Giulia | Travelling Sunglasses

There are so many delicious dishes to try in the region of Emilia-Romagna, in Northern Italy. However, it is safe to state that “piadina” is an institution. When travelling to Bologna, to Rimini, and any city in between, make sure you taste this traditional Italian street food.

Piadina is a flat disc of bread, very thin in some cities and thicker in others. The piadina is warmed up, folded in half, and filled with different ingredients, such as cold cuts, cheese and vegetables.

While the classics are certainly reliable, such as prosciutto ham and mozzarella, make sure you explore some of the local delicacies, such as the salty “porchetta” ham or bresaola, grilled vegetables, aged or smoked cheeses.

The traditional piadina is filled with prosciutto crudo (you may know it as Parma ham), a soft cheese called squacquerone, and rocket salad. It’s the perfect combination of salty, fresh and bitter flavors. Just thinking about it makes me crave it!

A piadina costs between 4 and 7 EUR, depending on the ingredients and on the location of the restaurant.

Pierogi in Poland

By Debjani | The Vagabong

Pierogi is the best street food in Poland. In fact, these are the tasty little dumplings that originated mainly from Poland and is fairly popular in Eastern Europe. Once, in Poland, you can find pierogi of different varieties and fillings. They are super easily available and are very cheap.

Pierog is generally semi-circular dumplings made of dough and is filled with plenty of choices like chicken, pork, soya, tofu or sometimes you may get to taste chocolate-filled Pierogi as well.

In fact, tourists are spoilt for choice for places to try pierogi and there are endless types of Pierogi to sample. Polish dishes are often difficult to understand but pierogi could be a safer option to choose from. A plate of pierogi generally cost from 3-5 Euros depending on the place you are having.

Infact, Pierogi in Poland is as similar to Tapas food in Spain or Enchiladas in Mexico.

Placki Ziemniaczane in Poland

By Reshma | The Solo Globetrotter

Potato Pancakes, called in Polish as Placki Ziemniaczane or Placki Kartoflane are one of the famous dishes in Poland. Although it has now become a popular fast food item, Potato Pancakes is a traditional Polish dish from Mazovia region, which originated as a substitute for meat for Catholics who cooked them on Fridays.

Gradually, the recipe of these delicious pancakes spread far and wide, with people developing various forms of these Pancakes. The Jews in Poland and Europe prepare Latkes, which is a type of Placki.

I tasted them first at Poznan, which was one of my day trips from Warsaw, and I completely fell in love with the dish. No wonder, I had them many times after that, throughout my journey, every day. The are not only delicious, but far better than plain pancakes. Also, the portion size is large and filling for one, especially as they are usually served with sour cream.

They are available everywhere in Poland, with the cheapest and the best ones in Milk Bars, where a plate of Potato Pancakes will cost you less than 3 or 4 Euros. You can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and you will feel energized for a long time! Also, better to have them with Borscht(Clear Beetroot soup).

Souvlaki in Athens

By Chrysoula | Athens and Beyond

Souvlaki is a classic street food option in Athens and all over Greece that comprises tender meat cooked on a skewer and either served on a stick with sides or in a heartily-filled pita as a gyros (pronounced “year-os”). This meat is juicy and delicious with little crispy bits that have been left to cook a little longer, and when it’s served ‘apo ola’ (with everything) it comes with tzatziki, tomato, onions and fries all wrapped up in a fluffy pita. This makes for a tasty, cheap and cheerful lunch, that comes in at just €3-3.50 in Athens and even cheaper on the islands.

There are souvlaki restaurants and takeaways all over Athens so you’ll never have to search far to find yummy gyros and they’re perfect for those strapped for time or cash! I would suggest sitting down to eat your souvlaki though, as they can be a little tricky to eat on-the-go without getting tzatziki all over your face!

Tortilla de Patatas in Spain

By Sabine and Sean | The Travelling Chilli

Tapas bars are not just places to eat, but also an integral part of Spanish culture where you will often find large, loud groups of families and friends, and that’s without the music. You will be hard pressed to pass through any Spanish city, town or village and not find a tapas bar. Spanish tapas are little plates of various finger foods which are a classic Spanish food dish that is usually accompanied by some kind of refreshment, such as soft drink, beer or wine. 2×4 tapas plus a whole bottle of wine can set you back about as much as a single large cup of coffee at Starbucks.

One of the most common tapas is ‘tortilla de patatas’. This classic Spanish omelette is filled with a scrumptious, gooey potato and onion mix and is cut into little squares and served on French baguette which makes it really easy to eat as finger food.

What I like most about tapas is they can constitute as a full meal if you have enough of them, and considering the variety on offer, eating out at a Spanish tapas bar is one of my favourite all-round experiences when visiting Spain.

Zapiekanka in Poland

By Deeptha Doshi | The Globe Trotter

There’s nothing not to like about this Polish street food. Zapiekanka is an open-faced sandwich (usually made with plain baguette cut lengthwise) topped with sautéed white mushrooms and a generous helping of cheese. It is served hot with ketchup and is one of the best street foods in Poland!

Zapiekanka has its origins in the austere times Poland faced in the 1970s when even the most basic ingredients were difficult to come by. And it is popular even today and is available across Poland, Krakow being the hub where you will find a Zapiekanka stall in almost every major street. You cannot miss it. A stop at a Zapiekanka stall is also included in most food tours in Krakow.

While the recipe remains the same across vendors, there can be a slight variation with some vendors using additional ingredients (meat, pickled cucumbers, olives etc.) and sauces (BBQ sauce, Garlic sauce).

Zapienkanka is hearty, filling and cheap making it one of the best street foods in Poland. The price ranges between 1-2 Euros depending on the toppings. Don’t forget to try it when you visit Poland.

Nothing is like spending the summertime by the beach and from Philadelphia it is only a short trip to the Jersey Shore. This August we enjoyed heading down to Wildwood, NJ to check out the largest seaside amusement park in the Western Hemisphere. Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Water Parks is a classic seaside amusement park located on the Wildwood boardwalk with more than 100 rides and attractions along three action packed amusement piers and two beachfront waterparks.

Summer of 2018 marks the 50th season for Morey’s Piers. It all started back in 1968 when two brothers, Will and Bill Morey, spotted a 12 lane fiberglass slide in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They took a risk buying this slide and setting up on the Wildwood boardwalk in 1969. This began their journey into the world of amusement parks and boardwalk veterans were skeptical at first. The Morey brothers pushed ahead acquiring more land in the area by paying twice the going rate. In 1976 they acquired their second pier and continued to grow. By 1979 they had established a full waterslide complex that would later grow into two waterparks. In 1986 the family purchased their third amusement pier and the mid 80-90s brought roller coaster to Morey’s Piers.

Starlux Boutique Hotel

We checked in for the weekend at the retro Starlux Boutique Hotel, owned by Morey’s Piers. Only blocks from the boardwalk and Wildwood Convention Center, this hotel is very conveniently located and features classic Americana architecture you won’t often find at the Jersey Shore. The all-glass lobby and lounge area opens onto the pool promenade where there is a heated pool, hot tub (open year round), and barbecue grills. Guests are also provided with free parking (1 car per room), free wireless internet, guest laundry, complimentary beach cruiser bicycles and beach gear in addition to complimentary Continental Breakfast (May 1st to Oct. 15).

Hotels guests also receive a special discount next door at the Starlux Mini Golf Course, where the wild things par! This mini golf is a unique two level course with three themes (beach, ocean, and boardwalk) and a total of 27 holes! We couldn’t resist playing the course which is open late on the weekends and even has its own Kohr Brothers ice cream booth.

Just like their rides and attractions, Morey’s Piers offers the widest selection of food and beverages with over 20 food outlets and eateries where guests can indulge in their boardwalk favorites and more. One of our favorite staples are the famous Curley’s Fries, introduced in 1974 and still remains a boardwalk staple today. With the growth and evolution of the piers, so did their food and beverage offerings.

Jumbo’s Seafood restaurant at Mariner’s Pier was the first Morey’s Piers sit-down restaurant and eatery to open in 1999. Today Jumbo’s offers extra large pizza pies and seafood options in a casual atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Executive Chef Walter “Wally” Jurusz joined the Morey’s Piers team in 2009 bringing his passion and culinary experience for elevated boardwalk food with a gourmet flair to the piers.

We started our Saturday morning with a visit to the Ocean Oasis Waterpark & Beach Club. Take a walk to the end of Surfside Pier, lies a tropical island getaway with an exciting collection of waterslides like the Cliff Dive slide where you’ll drop 5 stories in 3 seconds! The newest slide is the six-lane WipeOut where you can race family and friends. Bonsai Beach allows kids and parents to enjoy the interactive play area with water jets, climbing ropes and slides especially for the little ones. And of course you’re always welcome to lie back and relax as you float through the Lazy River or indulge in a cocktail at the swim up bar.

Stubborn Brothers Beach Bar & Grille

We took a lunch break at Stubborn Brothers Beach Bar & Grille (also accessible without waterpark admission). The restaurant is named for the two brothers who started it all, Will and Bill Morey. Sit back and enjoy something refreshing, they offer over 10 specialty cocktails featuring tropical ingredients and fresh fruit in original combinations- plus a variety of craft and local beers! We loved the healthy option of the Quinoa Bowl loaded with shaved Brussels sprouts, arugula, candied walnuts, avocado and orange vinaigrette. You’re sure to enjoy this dish with the option to add protein like salmon, grilled or crispy chicken. We also enjoyed the Steamed Pork Potstickers served with an Asian dipping sauce as an appetizer and the Crabby Cake Sandwich, a jumbo lump house-made crab cake with lemon Dijon mustard, is another very popular menu item. The outdoor restaurant has live music daily from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Open daily during season from 10:00am to 6:00pm.

Joe’s Fish Co.

Opened in Summer 2010, Joe’s Fish Co. is the second full restaurant opened by Morey’s Piers. We enjoyed the outside seating at this casual, contemporary family restaurant amidst the action of the rides on the pier. What is also special, and great for the older crowd is that Joe’s Fish Co. features a lively second floor bar overlooking all the action and featuring live musicians on weekends. We started off our meal with the delicious Crabby Pretzel, jumbo pretzel topped with our crab dip and melted cheddar baked bubbly! Their menu also offers a variety of fresh seafood options like local oysters, platters, fish and chips, grilled local fish, and whole steamed 1.5 lb. whole Maine lobster or 1 lb. snow crab legs.

The next summer, Morey’s Piers began offering “Breakfast in the Sky” where guests can enjoy a gourmet breakfast while they ride the Giant Ferris Wheel. This unique dining concept was the idea of Will Morey Sr. back in the late 90’s. A decade later Breakfast in the Sky was brought to life and has sold out many seasons so be sure to get your tickets at the start of the season! You’ll enjoy your breakfast with views 150 feet above sea level complete with white linens, china, and a signature menu.

Pig Dog Beach Bar

Brand new for Summer 2018, Pig Dog Beach Bar allows families to bring their furry friends to join them at this new breed of beach bar is serving up tasty barbecue classics, cocktails and local beers. Stop by and enjoy hammocks, picnic tables, and beach games while you enjoy your sips and snacks. We loved the slow-cooked smokey goodness of summer barbecue like the Loaded BBQ Fries topped with pulled pork, Texas western sauce, cheddar sauce, chilis, and scallions. We loved the lighter option of the Grilled Summer Shrimp Salad with field greens, watercress, hearts of palm, cucumbers, grapefruit, red peppers and mango-pineapple vinaigrette.

Another favorite is The Pig Big, a sourdough loaf stuffed with smoked pulled pork, covered in Monterey Jack cheese, and topped with pickled jalapeños and scallions. We also enjoyed the variety of sandwich and platter options. We loved the Smoked 1/2 Half Chicken served with parkerhouse rolls and cole slaw. Rubbed and smoked this dark meat chicken is glazed with Texas western barbecue sauce. PigDog Beach Bar invites pooches and guests of all ages to kick-back and enjoy the laidback atmosphere accessible via Raging Waters Water Park, the beach, and the boardwalk. Open post-labor day weekend, Friday – Sunday 11 am – 7 pm.

Jersey Girl

One of our favorite meals of the weekend was having dinner at Jersey Girl. Only a block from the boardwalk, this modern American restaurant features classic vibes of the shore. The menu provides guests with gourmet Mediterranean cuisine.

We loved all the fresh seafood options at Jersey Girl. The Jumbo Lump Crab & Avocado Mango’tini’ and local Cape May Oysters chilled on the half shell. What could be a more refreshing way to start your evening at the jersey shore? We also enjoyed the Feta & Summer Watermelon Salad with a delicious mix of grapes, cucumbers, fresh mint, walnuts and honey drizzle. The Fried Calamari appetizer was offered for the evening as a salad special and easily large enough to enjoy as an entree.

For the main course you cannot go wrong with either the surf or turf. We enjoyed the Blackened Tuna with mango cucumber salsa, rice pilaf and grilled asparagus. The Filet Mignon was also delicious served over top of grilled asparagus in a cabernet demi place with crispy bacon and a little bleu cheese on top.

George Mallous, General Manager says, ”I’ve been working in the culinary industry alongside my brother and Executive Chef, Argie Mallous, for over 30 years. We make a great team and are passionate about the food we cook and the customers we serve. Our goal is to exceed expectations, making every dining experience with us truly memorable and delicious. “

No matter what your choice, you are sure to find some exquisite dining at the jersey shore. Wildwood is filled with a beautiful beach and lots of entertainment, but we can attest to the fact that the dining scene is vibrant on its own. And the fun doesn’t just wrap up Labor Day Weekend! Be sure to check out the local festivals showcasing beachside into the Fall. Morey’s Piers Oktoberfest is taking place September 21-23, 27-29, and October 5-7. The Annual Wildwood Irish Fall Festival is September 21-23. Wildwood Seafood & Music Festival is October 6th. Plus the Wildwood Downtown Farmer’s Market is being held every Saturday!

Getaway: Morey’s Piers Nothing is like spending the summertime by the beach and from Philadelphia it is only a short trip to the Jersey Shore.
