The First Crunch in Athens
On my latest trip to Athens I decided to pull out my camera and capture some of the delicious spots that got me excited!
Burgers & Chili con Carne Fries at Pax Burgeristas with @thefirstcrunchh
00:28 The video starts in the same way any Greek starts their day... Coffee!For coffee I had a "Freddo Espresso", which is the latest craze in the Greek culture, and it is basically a cold version of espresso coffee, made with a double shot of espresso mixed with ice cubes. I made sure to accompany that with a freshly made cinnamon roll made by a French chef at DOPE ROASTING CO. (location)
02:55 I then walked to the "Bougatsadiko H Thessaloniki Stou Psiri" where the owner, Mr. Lakis remembered from a visit I had last year. The fact that you can see the process of making a bougatsa right in front of your eyes is impressive! Mr. Spiros throwing the phyllo dough in the air to open it up and making the bougatsa is something i could just look at all day. (location)
05:23 My next experience was at the charming neighborhood called Koukaki, where we found a fish tavern called "Skoubri". I've always been a fan of seafood, and the experience here was great! Also the staff was very welcoming and friendly, while located very close to Acropolis getting there was relatively easy.
06:20 Walking around in Athens, you hear live Greek music, you smell and see the rotating columns of meat that make you drool and you can't help but have a Greek traditional Gyros on the go, with meat shaved straight from the spit right in front of your eyes!
07:00 During my stay in Athens, I was impressed with the diversity of the food scene. Had a delicious brunch at this Italian inspired place called Odori Vermuteria di Atene where everything was perfect but, OMG the Banoffee Pancakes just blew my mind! (location)

08:05 On that same day, walking outside of Pax burger place, the tantalizing smell made me walk in and try out their burgers and chili con carne fries that were prepared right in front of our eyes.! Loved the whole American style vibe! Delicious to taste and smell! (location)
09:07 If you know me, you know I have extra love for the Greek traditional golden fluffy balls - Lukumades! If you are in Athens you can't miss this place! If you don't see it, you will smell it, and if you don't try them, then... I honestly don't know what's wrong with you. Choose your fillings, choose your toppings, and you get the full tastebud orgasm you dreamed of. (location)
10:30 One of the best things I've eaten in a long time was the peynirli at "SMAK"!!! The boat shaped pizza filled with delicious minced meat in the middle, in the ultimate thick and fluffy dough base, topped with melted cheese! SOOO GOOD! (location)
12:38 And last, I tried a seafood on the go spot called Zisis, Fish in a Cone. A super delicious fish snack to grab and continue your stroll around athens. Super quick, delicious and very friendly people! (location)
