After another round of unimpressive Czech food yesterday (we tried a “Czech feast for two” at the restaurant across the street that the guy at reception recommended and it was a giant portion of various meat without much taste), we’ve officially decided to give up ordering “traditional” Czech dishes at restaurants since the Czech diet of massive quantities of meat and starch doesn’t suit us. Instead, today we went looking for eurodogs, a type of hot dog which involves sticking a wiener inside a baguette that has a hole cut into it instead of a cut-open bun. Unlike what we read on TripAdvisor, in the middle of October, eurodogs are not easy to find…
