as per request

woah, buddy, it has been a while. i kind of forgot about this blog in favor of another. deep inside i'm ok with that. i like this spot, and i'll keep it up till somewhere into the summer, but the time is comming for me to scale down a bit and focus my internet presence.

anyway, i was talking with my sister the other day, and realized that i haven't really shared the beauty that is the döner with everyone very well. if you remember, i think i wrote about it in my update newsletter in january, but if not, here we go again.

döner is pretty much just the turning roasting hunk of meat they use for the base of a taco-esque creation. they shave off some meat, put it in a toasted flat bread, throw in some sauces, lettuce, cabbage, onions, tomatoes or any other combonation they do, and BOOM, you got yourself a meal.

i'd compare it in heft to a chipotle burrito, but it is of course a different thing altogether. usually going for about 3€ (with the exception of one shop that sells a döner for 1,70€, which usually raises a fundamental question of quality and price. . . how the heck is it so cheep and pretty good?), a döner is a great little fast-food option that you can get practically in any decent sized german city.

here are some pictures of a place i tried last night. it's not my favorite, by far, but it's close and i figured i'd give it a shot.
