Mark & Jocelyn Wolters have experiences living and traveling around the world that have shaped their lives. We carry little parts of the globe with us everywhere we go. It influences the food we cook, the fashion Jocelyn wears, and how we see the world. We simply want to share that inspiration with you through cooking, food, and whatever comes our way. You may have seen us in videos on Wolters World Travel & Culture. We love delving into cultures and sharing them with others. Here we want to show you the world, one bite at a time.
Hesburger definitely isn't "1000x better than McDonald's". Both Hesburger and McDonald's suck equally (this is coming from a Finn btw). Luckily, we do have amazing establishments here that actually care about making good burgers. Boneless, for example, serves some of the best smash burgers I ever had. Burger Company is also great.
If you really want to test yourself, you should try Mettbrötchen. Raw minced pork on a bun, topped with raw onions. Absolutely delicious, but if you hail fom the UK or USA, it probably sounds terrifying.
I agree that the pretzels are the best. I winced when I saw the pretzel you were munching on though. Get the REAL Philly pretzel next chance you get. I recommend Center City Pretzel Co
That Nonna that lives 5 kilometers away in a different village has no idea how to make a Ragu Bolognese as it should be made, and is made by my Nonna, obviously!
Try ‘Curuba milk juice’ and Blackberry juice, they are delicious! Also tree tomato, guava, feijoa juices! Delicious. E. Coli, not common (or very documented)… Guarapo is an alcoholic drink made fermenting fruits, usually pineapple-alcoholic, but refreshing! Usually in the farm areas! Thank you for your videos! They are interesting and very educational!
Philly boy born and raised. You did a good job with this food video. You saved the best for last, Philly beer culture! There are more craft breweries and brew houses in town. Yards is the largest in the city. Good food and great beer. If you want to eat it, you can find it here in Philly; Chinese in Chinatown, German at Brauhaus Schmidt’s, Italian everywhere. If you want a Michelin 5 star restaurant or a Brazilian steakhouse, we have it. The homage to our beloved Wawa is appreciated. Two big Philly Phanatic thumbs up for this video. Next time you’re in town, we can get a chicken cutlet Italian at Tony’s, it will knock your socks off!
One very common and popular drink that you missed for Bogotá is Agua Aromática. It's essentially a minty herbal tea, but you'll sometimes have fruits added as well. I like it with strawberries and uchuvas. You can get it everywhere, including the streets, and along with Tinto, it's a popular workplace/office drink as well. Another popular juice drink there is Jugo de Gunabana. I'm not a huge fan (I'm on team Lulo), but my wife grew up in Bogotá, and it's her fave. Concerning the coffee issue, when we were in Salento last year, we took a tour/class at a coffee plantation, and they told us that most of the better quality beans were shipped out of the country. You can still get them in some of the bigger markets, but unless you're in one of the more upscale or hip neighborhoods in Bogotá, you won't find good coffee in the restaurants or cafes.
There's so much more to Montreal food than poutine, bagels and smoked meat! Go to L'Express or Lémeac for french food, Les Enfants Terribles at Place Ville Marie for amazing city views, Chinatown for authentic chinese food and vietnamese soup, Vin mon Lapin, Joe Beef and Montreal Plaza for fancy eats, Majestique for oysters and funky decor, and so so so much more!
there is no such thing as soul food in the south; and if by soul food, you think its food black people cook; so... everyone who can cook in the south makes corn bread, and okra, my grandfather grew in his garden and fried up like popcorn. and my family's cornbread recipe is made in a cast iron skillet; which you first heat up in the oven so when you poor the batter in, it creates a beautiful crust; and our cornbread is never ever sweet. that is northern yankee talk, like the word "soul-food"
Imo's pizza is overrated. So many other choices outside of the city: Farotto's, Nick & Elena's, Serra's, Farraci's, Pirrone's, and I really miss Luigi's.
It's been so long since I went to Bogota, I do remember how disappointed I was with coffee.. so many places offer Nescafe or freeze dried coffee. We went to a plantation that mad Kaloma, it was beautiful, the coffee plants nestled between the trees, flowers and air plants everywhere. The man who walked us around (because my girlfriend knocked on the door and told him an American would to see the place. showed me the process from coffee cherry to bean to roasting etc.. then went to a plan, and picked some ripe coffee cherries, popped out the pit( the coffee bean) and told me that I could plant them. We later dried them out and I took them home and actually grew about 15 coffee plants.. so cool. I do remember aguardiente, like so many countries that have a Fire water, at least theirs is aptly named, no you cannot refuse it. :)
A Scotcharoo usually includes some butterscotch in it. I'm not a fan of butterscotch so it's always a war between the peanut butter bars or the ones that also include butterscotch.
