Street Food: Döner Kebab

My “to eat” list whenever I go abroad is always a challenge to complete, but as long as I manage to cross a few off my list, I’m content. This list is usually a mad spattering of foods and always contains some kind of street food. Yesterday’s falafel is a perfect example, but a Döner [...]

L’As du Falafel
