1
Yesterday we did 380 covers.
2
What?
3
Everything happens in this kitchen,
4
which is kind of wild.
5
We do all the prep,
6
all the everything in here.
7
Let me run this quickly.
8
Bianca, can you help me please?
9
Yeah, it's a crazy energy over here.
10
Now let the woman drink some water.
11
Hey, Carolina here, but most people call me Caro.
12
For more than 10 years,
13
I've opened restaurants and built experiences rooted in my love of connection.
14
How are you?
15
How are you?
16
In this series, we'll be traveling to six iconic cities,
17
letting industry insiders take us to their favorite spots.
18
Enjoying German food.
19
But first, I switch on vacation mode.
20
With my unlimited eSIM from Erlo,
21
I'm connected the moment I land.
22
Because when you're hunting for the best espresso in Milano or racing across town for last orders at the local pub,
23
the last thing you want is your data drying up.
24
I mean, this lineup is next level crazy.
25
I'm ready.
26
Let's go.
27
No limits, no stress, no surprises on my bill later.
28
Just me, the locals and a lot of very good food.
29
That's everything.
30
This is The City Bites.
31
Kota is a restaurant which started 10 years ago with the idea of a dessert bar.
32
It's like food which has the DNA of a dessert.
33
Somehow without that sugar plays really a role.
34
What's going on over here?
35
Yeah, so this is our little chocolate factory.
36
So this is actually an Indian stone grinder from India.
37
Because we don't have it like very controlled,
38
we just have like stone on stone,
39
so we need to taste it.
40
So we have the cocoa beans, which are from Ecuador.
41
And this we roast and then we put it in the stone grinder.
42
Beautiful, like intense flavor.
43
I feel like it's a great way to start the day.
44
Yeah.
45
Can't say I've ever done this before.
46
As a pastry chef, you follow recipes,
47
but as a chef, you taste it always.
48
And you think, no, maybe it needs some more sweetness,
49
Maybe it needs a pinch of salt.
50
So these are the stones.
51
Here we can taste the freshly ground chocolate.
52
Chocolate for breakfast.
53
So silky and like smooth and just balanced and just perfect amount of sweetness.
54
I don't have to tell you.
55
This is something we make with this chocolate.
56
It's a little snack we serve at the end of the menu.
57
It's a fudge.
58
We dehydrate cottage cheese and milk to make our own milk powder.
59
And then we have inside a caramel made with value beef fat instead of butter.
60
I'm like overwhelmed in the best way.
61
There's like one thing we need to try here at Koda,
62
and this is our caviar popsicle.
63
It's a very, very nice caviar with a little bit of salt,
64
and the ice cream is made of a Yurisale market choc.
65
That's good.
66
Wow, this is incredible.
67
Koda is a non-conformist restaurant,
68
and our food is like non-conforming here.
69
And that's what I like because I think Berlin is for me also non-conforming.
70
Berlin has this diversity, it's very multicultural.
71
You can find everything in Berlin.
72
You can be who you want in Berlin.
73
Nobody trusts you.
74
With every bite, I feel like I'm discovering something new.
75
You know?
76
I could definitely spend all day here eating your food.
77
But where else are we going today?
78
So now it's time for Adana Krülhaus.
79
Ooh, okay.
80
This is a Turkish barbecue.
81
And Turkish food is a big part of German food,
82
and especially here in Berlin.
83
So we're gonna have some lamb grilled over charcoal.
84
Ooh, okay.
85
This is my favorite Turkish place for soul food.
86
After work, when you had a heavy shift,
87
and you just wanna have something, a big hack.
88
What is super good is to have the bread here,
89
because they dip the adana and pirl,
90
which is like a minced meat with chili and garlic on the bread.
91
Oh, wow.
92
Everhouse needs a dip drawer.
93
Bon appetit!
94
This is the adana.
95
They get the whole lamb.
96
It's also very mild, the lamb.
97
It's not very gamy.
98
That's also what I like about it.
99
It's like the fat melts in your mouth and it squeezes because it's so juicy.
100
I want to bathe in this lamb.
101
Cheers.
102
Georgia got drunk off lamb, I don't know.
103
Just had an insane feast, this incredible place.
104
Lamb of all kinds.
105
I'm a little full, but we're gonna walk it off.
106
And I'm excited.
107
So Caro, I think what we should do now is like having a food spills,
108
how we call it.
109
Okay, and you should know.
110
You know what a food spills is?
111
Yeah.
112
So this is a beer on the way while we walk.
113
So Caro, I got us some beer.
114
Yes, I was thirsty, I was thirsty.
115
This is one of my favorite beers, some Rinderberg Fiesta.
116
Thank you.
117
Here, nobody cares if you walk around with a beer.
118
Yeah, enough with the rules all the time.
119
Karo, you want a Currywurst?
120
But of course I do!
121
So this is the iconic Currywurst,
122
what we have here in Berlin.
123
The most typical German street food,
124
and it's always like a fight.
125
Who invented it and where is it from?
126
The story is that it's originally after the war,
127
after the war where we had sausages in Germany and the British soldiers brought the curry powder,
128
the American soldiers had some ketchup,
129
so they put it all together and that's the currywurst.
130
For people it's like a daily thing
131
or they go at least once a week or twice a week to have the currywurst.
132
Alright!
133
I'm excited.
134
Very good.
135
Chobi, you want some?
136
Okay, let's go.
137
After this we're going to go to some German food because we're in Germany.
138
If you try to find German food in Berlin, it's very difficult.
139
But there's like one place which is actually the oldest restaurant in Berlin,
140
which is called So Letzten Instanz.
141
The poached eggs in the mustard sauce.
142
Pretty perfect.
143
That's not fine dining, that's not a sternekueche.
144
We have the opportunity or the potential to really create things really
145
and just with good work to set things up the front of us.
146
But also, we have a lot of young people in Berlin who have their own confidence and
147
they develop and that has been developed positively.
148
So this is the Königsberger Klopse,
149
which is like a meatball made of a wheel and pork meat.
150
Of course, one thing not to be missed here, the crispy pork knuckle.
151
I love the crispy skin on this.
152
I do feel a little bit guilty having all this food today.
153
Tomorrow's a new day.
154
Ready for a nightclub?
155
Yeah.
156
And I know a very good bar close to my restaurant in Noircon.
157
Ciao.
158
Yeah, thank you.
159
What I love about Velvet is that they have the concept,
160
the menu is called sip the season.
161
So they always go foraging ingredients, herbs, flowers, plants.
162
They redistill them and then they combine it with like high-end spirits and make super nice drinks.
163
Find me out.
164
So we're in your lab.
165
Yeah.
166
Tell me more.
167
Welcome to Velvet.
168
Welcome to our lab.
169
Nice of you to come.
170
Yeah.
171
This is a rotary evaporator.
172
It's lab-grade equipment to vacuum,
173
distill aromas out of plants.
174
And you have all the flavor in a clear form, very concentrated.
175
We've been a super seasonal bar.
176
We have 10 drinks on menu that are always changing with the seasons.
177
As the year progresses, we look what grows around Berlin and get stuff from farmers,
178
get stuff that we pick wild ourselves,
179
process it here in the lab.
180
Yeah, and then we just make drinks from that
181
that taste mostly of the plant and the spirits are just supporting that flavor.
182
And so basically there are some bars in the world that also do this,
183
But they're completely different because they're in a different little climate with different drinks and I think that's really cool.
184
The coriander drink for the tasting menu comes with matching glassware as well.
185
Stoke is kind of an accidental project.
186
At least here it's like yakitori.
187
Not everyone knows about it,
188
but everyone knows about chicken.
189
There's some things that might taste a little bit more Korean.
190
There's some things that might taste Taiwanese or Cantonese or have Szechuan spicing.
191
But I call it a meat on a stick.
192
We apply these flavors and interweave these kind of tastes through the meal using European ingredients.
193
I think this is like the kind of the emphasis.
194
We still want you to feel like you're here,
195
you're in Europe, but also too,
196
we want you to feel like you're at stoke.
197
That's the chicken.
198
It's a funny little creature.
199
I think chicken that's generally grown up with eating is something that was produced quickly.
200
The piece that you would have maybe with ours has a little bit more bite
201
and also a deeper flavor just because of the fact that it's older.
202
Super delicious though.
203
Every single bite to me was like mind blowing.
204
I mean, there's a lot of intentional things that we do here.
205
All of it's just about people.
206
Like, I wanted to thank you guys for taking the time.
207
Thank you, Chef.
208
You're most welcome.
209
Thank you for visiting us.
210
Aw, thank you so much.
211
Thank you.
212
Good trip, so.
213
Yeah, you know.
214
All good.
215
Had to do it.
216
Had to take one for the tea.
217
Yeah, yeah.
218
It was easy.
219
A lot to eat, so.
220
Thank you.
221
Thank you, guys.
222
Thanks for coming.
223
Rumor has it that the best spots in Berlin are found down alleyways,
224
and we're about to check out Ari's Diner.
225
Super pumped!
226
Yesterday we did 380 covers.
227
What?
228
Oh, everything happens in this kitchen,
229
which is kind of wild.
230
We do all the prep,
231
all the everything in here.
232
It's kind of been great to also cultivate such an international community inside the restaurant.
233
Let me run this quickly.
234
Okay.
235
Bianca, can you help me, please?
236
If you have a tray,
237
it would be ideal, but...
238
Yeah, it's a crazy energy over here.
239
Let the woman drink some water.
240
I guess I'm doing primarily comfort food.
241
I grew up in Lima, I'm Peruvian.
242
Peruvian.
243
This is what I like to do with a Peruvian soul.
244
So all the seasoning sauces are Peruvian,
245
all the flavor profiles are very Peruvian.
246
I would say it's a diner but there's also very international comfort food items.
247
Sunday is the craziest day.
248
We do pollo lauraza which is Peruvian roast chicken.
249
We cook it and finish it in the grill and it's a whole roast chicken.
250
We debone it so that there's like skin on every part
251
and then it's marinated in like a Peruvian marinade like pollo lauraza marinade
252
and we serve it as like a family style combo with like fried salad sauces
253
so that's what's happening over there at the moment
254
so you're gonna have the chicken yeah what else should we have i have a portion of sediche for you
255
which we make with corvina
256
which is very traditional peruvian style i'm very proud it's the most sold item
257
which is the lima kreuz burger it's a peruvian burger
258
and it has ají amarillo and papitas alilo
259
which are like these mini shoestring fries
260
that we put inside the sandwich in peru best burger ever there's something for everybody here
261
which i think is also peruvian and in spirit.
262
Oh, so nice to meet you.
263
Thanks for coming.
264
It changed my life.
265
Life tastes so cool.
266
It's a dream.
267
We're here at Clarenz Ballhaus,
268
which is this iconic building here in Berlin.
269
It's over 100 years old.
270
And inside there's this restaurant being run by a young team,
271
redefining what traditional German food is.
272
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
273
Where are we now?
274
What is this place about?
275
My name is Tobias Beck, I'm 33 years old.
276
I think Germans in general,
277
they stride a very fine line between pride and shame always.
278
And I feel like food is such a nice and innocent medium to be proud of something.
279
There's a movement in Berlin around German food,
280
where a lot of young people do German food and make it cool.
281
Something that you saw also in the UK,
282
for example, with the St. John's in London,
283
is something that we are going to have in Germany in the next five years five years
284
and I together with my colleagues in the city want to be like a major force to push that forward as well.
285
Every German restaurant kind of has a schnitzel on it
286
and the thing is if you have it on the menu everyone's gonna order it, me included.
287
In the end we have people that come for the food and we have people that come for the design,
288
we have people that just come for a good time and
289
that all is actually beautiful that we can combine it in one place.
290
It's really beautiful to see.
291
Enjoying German food!
292
Exactly, who would have thought?
293
It comes in different sizes.
294
We also have a couple that are even bigger.
295
Let's get people used for the form and then for the flavor as well.
296
Add it on the plate.
297
I didn't think that as a chef I would be doing something like this.
298
So here we go.
299
Well, I'll prepare a little speech.
300
And I wanted to thank all of Berlin.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
