The sun is out, the temperatures are friendly, and the parks are now in bloom. For many people, myself included, the arrival of the outdoor season means a change in appetite to one thing: barbecues. This past weekend was beautiful, and I excitedly dragged out my beat-up, cheap Tesco-bought grill and fired it up. Food [...]
If you’re looking for somewhere to eat out in Prague but aren’t sure which restaurant to choose, you can make use of this new interactive map of restaurants reviewed by The Prague Post food writers. The map features the location and contact details of each restaurant plus a link to all the latest reviews, going [...]
Taking a break from finishing up The Prague Post’s Dining Guide 2011 (in bookstores and newsstands near you), I was reading through some restaurant reviews on The New York Times. Sam Sifton, the paper’s food critic, recently reviewed a little place called Vandaag in the East Village. Several paragraphs in, my mouth fell open at [...]
I usually find that my holiday snaps from trips to the States include just as many pictures of food as ones of friends and family. There are just too many dishes that I miss while I’m away, and I’ll often find myself looking back through past photos and sighing over the memory of certain dishes. [...]
This post goes out to my butcher, Christopher Robertson, who has kept me in meats since I moved to Prague two and a half years ago. Unfortunately, I’ve never met the man. All of my requests have been sent and confirmed over email, and pickups are from the person manning the counter at one of [...]
Weekends are a special time for me. I have the time and desire to eat breakfast, my lunch is more than a crocodille sandwich or handful of almonds and dinner is based on what I want, rather than what I have on hand. And while workweek meals are taken with an eye toward basic nutrition, [...]
Few foods inspire such heights of obsession in Americans as hamburgers. If the amount of dedicated blogs is any indication, pizza and cupcakes could also be added to that sacred list. For hamburgers, there is even one that calls itself “America’s Favorite Hamburger Weblog,” though how that accolade was earned isn’t exactly clear. You could [...]
This week The Prague Post reviewed Noy, an Armenian restaurant hidden in the outskirts of Žižkov. Our photographer got an excellent shot of one of the top dishes there, Pelmeně, a hand made dumpling filled with seasoned beef and topped with a creamy garlic yogurt sauce. Alas, the print edition is never big enough to [...]
It’s that time of year. While the end of summer may have beer-drinkers grumbling as they try to eek out a few more blustery evenings at beer gardens, the crispness in the air heralds the best time of year to be a wine lover: The season of vinobraní, or grape harvest festivals. Vinobraní can be found all [...]
One of this summer’s biggest hits has been Prague’s farm market renaissance, a bounty of fresh fruit, veggies and mix of otherwise hard to find farm items that come from local sources. It’s been such a big hit, in fact, that many of the more popular items sell out within a couple hours of the [...]
