Welcome to Bruges, a medieval city in Belgium
You might have heard about it through Colin Farrell's movie, In Bruges. I'm not here to hurt anybody
I'm just here for the chocolate, waffles, and beer. Beautiful, right? This is City Hall of Bruges, built in 1376
It's one of the oldest, still perfectly preserved city halls in Europe
Incredible, I love it. Gothic style. There's a concert happening over here today, so a lot of noise
But we're going for some waffles. We're going to a place called Chez Albert
They say they have the best waffles. And there's two locations here. I'm going to the one right around the corner
I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. Hungry? It's my last waffles in Belgium
Definitely not mine. And this is it, Chez Albert, the best place to have Belgian waffles in Bruges
They open at 10 in the morning. It's 10 on 5. Look at that line. We have to wait
You can tell this place is very touristic. It's what it is. Like 9.30, 10 a.m., the streets will start filling up, you know
So if you want to enjoy a brew, I guess come here as early as possible, no? Yeah, I mean, nothing really starts till 10
So that's when everything, you know, starts to open. Everybody wakes up. I'm still asleep
Let's be tourist. You guys are really popular. Yes, we are. It's packed
Yes. So tell me, Tanya, what do you guys do here? Well, the most popular raffle is number 14, the 22, or the 24
And when it's very hot, something with ice cream. Something with ice cream. So today is a little cold, so I don't want ice cream
Okay, then you can take whatever you want, but you can make every combination you can see
Every combination? Yes. And you guys only do liege waffles, sweet waffles
The sweet one, yes. Fantastic. The best one. The best one, of course. We didn't go to liege, unfortunately, but I've had a lot of waffles on this trip
These are the best. Okay, thank you. What do you think? What do you think
Should I go all out? Just trying to watch my figure. You tell me

something with belgian strawberries belgian strawberries yeah so number there's a 24 24 is
good dark chocolate so they have two different chocolates wow how many waffles do you sell a day
in high season too much i don't count them anymore so let me ask you because i know about the city
15 years ago when I watched In Bruges with Colin Farrell but it made the city
famous I feel like I mean especially for Americans you know because we watched
the movie it's interesting and we didn't know about the city and then
because of the movie? well I came more because I wanted to come medieval city
you know I think the city is more beautiful than a movie of course
hold on it's just so funny dude mmm look at those strawberries
hey thank you so much this looks good this is amazing strawberries leege waffles a mountain
of whipped cream dark chocolate and then they add that beautiful belgian flag i love the flag
I like you. Oh my gosh, I can't wait. Strawberry whipped cream, the ultimate combo, that dark chocolate
We have to get in here. Yes. Sweet. Crispy, doughy, sweet
With the whipped cream. Enjoy this. Come to Belgium, enjoy waffles every day
Now I have to open this, to get in here and just like... So Tanya, how do I eat this like correctly
Like seriously, I don't know how to eat this correctly. Break it
But maybe first you can sit down. On the bench? The stairs
Oh, thank you. But do I pick it up with my hand
She's like, no, no hands. It's hard to get in here. Oh, this is awesome
Right here? Oh, wow. I love the combo. I haven't had it with strawberries yet
You know what? We're celebrating some heat. What do you guys think
Is it the ultimate sin for the Belgian waffles? Sweet doughy waffles
Dude, these are probably the best ones I've had. I don't know, it's hard
Right now I'm starving, that's why it's so good, right? Good mix
Well David, it's been in your hot sauce, crazy. It's like sweet and heat
What do you guys think? Would you eat waffles every single day in Belgium? So packed
This is awesome. Full of tourists. They might be my favorite waffles I've had on the trip. Really
It's my last day. Oh, you did a lot of more places. I did a lot of places
For waffles too? Well, yeah. But you will take all shots, right? Yeah
Here, yes. Inbruce, yes. Inbruce, okay. Thank you so much. You're welcome
I'll see you next time, okay? Yes. Thank you. Of course, dangevel
Thank you. Next spot we have Chocolate Line. The guy who runs it, you're about to meet him, he's awesome
He's an incredible chocolatier. As you can see, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Two of my favorite brands are here
La Belgica and Newhouse. So I already went to those in Brussels
definitely hit them up. And if you haven't gone to Brussels, definitely stop by their shops here
Wow, I'm full. That's heavy. So now we're in the main square of Bruges
It's beautiful. Oh, it's gorgeous. this on Instagram when you talk about Bruges, which spot you see
I mean, this is the main spot. Here they have some horse and carrots. If you want to do that type of tour, you can do that
It's probably like 50 euros or something. We have the main statue. We'll look it up now
And over here, Cloud Tower. So this is the most significant landmark
in Bruges, the Belfry of Bruges. The medieval clock tower dates back to the 13th century
and it's 366 steps to get to the top. You know what? Follow me
Let's go inside. Let's get a ticket and climb to the top for the best views of Bruges
This attraction's different. I've never bought a ticket for my little kiosk like this
So Belfort to two people select date right now and then right now 30 pay
No one here is it Thank you Let's go. Are you ready
366 steps. There we go. This way. Are you ready? Voila
So on the way up we have small rooms with the exhibition showing you a little bit of the history of the tower Go slow huh Hey I been on a lot of these towers in my life
You remember the Iraq one? Yeah, it was crazy, huh? Things I do for YouTube
It's gonna be a thing, huh? Yeah, we're a few hundred up already
Out of breath. Here we go. They put the robe in case somebody slipped in
Yeah, yeah, of course. It's going to be a long way. No, we're almost there
I counted a hundred on the way up. What is it? 366
I think that's the number. Is that correct? Yeah. Oh! Oh. Well after Belgian waffles
I don't know if that was a good idea. We just saw another room
To be honest, I don't even know what that was. but here we go
Last few steps. How much more? They're almost there. Almost there. Just keep going
That's what he said to everybody. Yeah, right? Yeah. Take one, like one minute left. Yes
Oh, we good here? A few more. Oh, it's high, huh
It is high. We're here. We're here? One small step for man
One giant leap for David's been here. Oh, wow. The air. Amazing
Oh, my gosh. What a view. That's Bruges. It's windy. This tower is 800 years old
Yeah, 800 years old. 13th century. Wow, this is amazing. You have to watch the movie
After you watch the movie, you'll see this differently. Okay, fair enough. It's so loud, though
So I have a question for you. You're here because you watched the movie
Basically, yes. Seriously? Because I told him that Americans come because of this and he's like, no way
We had not heard of the place before we watched the movie and then over time, like, it looks
really pretty, we should actually go there. So how's the ending? Very funny
Very depressing. It's amazing. It's amazing. Most of our friends are like, how would you like this movie
It's so impressive. Which it is, but it's awesome. It's depressing, but..
We have wires, you know, holding us from mortal danger. Amazing, what beautiful views
So that's where we just were, City Hall. You can see the cs
Every single roof is so bright and colorful. I really love this place
Medieval, 13th century. Let's go back. Where's Colin? Colin Firth, where you at
I'm in. Okay, okay, let's go. That was so loud, my ears like broke
You can look at your phone, man. I know, you can look at your phone, but you know what? It's cooler to get startled by bells
Like a thousand bells. Winterfell? Jon Snow? Where's Jon Snow at? He's somewhere up there
No, he's in the watch. Where's Kaliche? All right, guys. Let's go to the chocolate line
After burning all those calories, you gotta make them back, you know? We need it, man
I know. You're right. Gorgeous. Every building is unique. They have their own styles, different colors
So old. Titros del Grottenhert. And of course, we have some of the biggest brands
in the world here. We have Nespresso, we have Massimo Dutti, McDonald's, all my American friends
What else? Oh, here it is. Right here. I mean, there's chocolate everywhere
Literally chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. You like it? We trade? Here we are
Chocolate line by Dominic Persone. Dominic, I hope I didn't butcher your name
Making chocolate. Hi, how you doing? It's amazing. Right there
Good morning. Morning, my friend. How's everything? Good, good. Good, good. It's been intense
And you catch your flight? Yeah. Thankfully. Thankfully. Yeah, yeah. This is our last day now
How many? It's my ninth day. We spoke like 11 days ago already
It's crazy. Oh, all right. I didn't know you were here. We're like brothers, man
You're thinner. The problem is you eat too much chocolate. A long time ago, one and ten years ago, I decided to start my own cocoa plantation in Mexico
Ah, Mexico! Because we were able to buy amazing beans, the Caramelo Creole, the most amazing beans
But badly enough, the farmer dies. Oh my God. So after a bottle of tequila, always good for the inspiration, we decided to start our
own plantation. And then of course, the quantities were too small to give it to the big guys who could
made my private chocolate. And then we decided to start to make our own chocolate
So here it's like therapy for me. It's yoga. For sure. I'm in my aquarium and I make my chocolate
I tell you, I feel like I'm getting high off chocolate right now. That's how much is roasting
Next to the factory we have containers. So when we start roasting, it's like a coffee roaster
It's the same machine. But with the cacao, you roast much lower
Coffee is about, I think, 240. This is 120, so it's really very low because we like to keep the acidity, the flavors into the chocolate and the beans
Wow. I don't like it too bitter. I like to have a lot of flavors
So what we do, we put the beans in that box and then it goes immediately into the roaster
And then it's like boiling an egg. Of course. When you roast your beans, of course, the temperature is important, but it's also important to cool it down as quickly as possible
For sure. So that's what we do, then it's blowing. This is my expedition car
Every year when I buy a lot of handbags from my wife
she gives me permission to go on an expedition from Africa to Asia to, of course, Latin America
Oh wow, these are all the places you travel to? Yeah, we travel. In the years Two months ago I was in Belize amazing Two months ago I was in Belize twice this year Yeah it nice Yeah it nice It nice Chocolate Really cool
This is awesome. So here this is the shop. We have a lot of different stuff
This is Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. No, I'm kidding. It's Dominique's. Well, Willy, all respect
But I want to show you a few funny stuff. Wow, this one looks awesome
The couple of names? This year, what's very hip and trendy are the dog doodles
The dog? The chocolate. Dog . It's amazing. Oh, wow, and the pecan
That looks cool, man. Great, great ideas. We're going to do a little digestation of chocolates
For sure. Are you allergic stuff or stuff you don't like? I'm anti-allergies
Yeah, okay. So you like everything? I like everything. So this is beetroot, small organic beetroots that we cook with the shell in the oven, popping
And then we take the shell off, we make a gel of it, put a little bit of vinegar, Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar, and then a praline
It's really cool. This is cool. I love the shape, the color. It's so beautiful
A lot of different stuff. Tastes healthy. Always, huh? You want to taste
I'll try. It's just too much chocolate, you know? That's amazing, actually
You want to taste the bacon? Bacon? Bacon, yeah. This is the Miss Piggy
It's a bacon that flies. Oh, my gosh. You have the smoky and the crunchiness of your bacon
This is bacon chocolate. What? This is so cool. So you're just getting creative now
Just mixing things, trying, testing. Just like in the kitchen, follow the seasons
Oh my gosh, it's bacon. It is bacon. I'm blown away the combination there
It's nice and fatty. Salty, smoky. Yeah, salty, smoky. All my friends that love bacon are going to love that one
I know. We have the Havana cigars. Havana cigars. You like cigars
Yeah. My favorite drink by the way, cognac
Then we have a yuzu, green apple, and grass. Grass from the garden. Grass
Eatable grass. You sure it's grass from the garden and not grass from a flower? Uh, no
It's not from my garden. I have four dogs, so it would be embarrassing. If we destroyed it
Oh, whoa. I'm just having a grass shot. I love the flavors here
So I've tried a lot of chocolate in Belgium so far. Every single one of these is the most unique I've tried
Nothing's like this. We have a new one inspired by an amazing cocktail
An amazing cocktail. Paloma grapefruit, pink grapefruit with, of course, tequila. Tequila
We're getting drunk off chocolate. This place is the best, man. Wow
It's got a crunch bottom. As we have good connections with Mexico, we love the chipotle
You know chipotle? The smoky jalapeño. Yeah. So we made one with chipotle
Oh my god. The classic combination from the Mayas. So they mix chili peppers with the cacao to offer to the gods
How much more can you handle? I can handle. What do we have, like three chocolate bars so far
Ooh, I feel the spice now. I'll tell you, my favorite was the bacon
Bacon is the best. You know what I love about this, is that so many different flavors
even the chocolate's different. Some of them are like softer, some are crunchier
like a nice bite. This one's spicy. At the end, it's the after. Yeah
It's the afterburn. No, it's good, it's good. Not crazy spice. You know what
No, next. Well? Do you mix hot sauce with chocolate? Hot sauce with chocolate
Is it very hot sauce? You tell me. That's something a little bit sweet, no
Pineapple and guava. Yeah, nice. I like the pineapple. That's my product
Really? Yeah, yeah. That's nice. You should do that chocolate with heavy cream. No, no, that'd be weird
I just did it with waffles. I just added it. It was good. That's nice. Thank you
One more? One more, one more. Just one more. Damn, how much chocolate is this
Too much chocolate. No, it's okay. Oh, look at that. Skulls. This is really one of my favorites
It's a gel of red fruit or different kinds of berries with violets, the flowers, and
then a crunchy pyrrolein. So, like, three different layers here. It's crunchy like a cookie
Nice milk chocolate on the bottom. This one's amazing. Oh my gosh. They're all good
You're very innovative. This is crazy. It's our passion. We love to do funny and crazy stuff
I love it. But sometimes creativity can come very easily. In Belgium we have a famous dessert, for example, Dame Blanche
It's vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate sauce. I don't give a sauce, I give a lipstick
Also to the guys. I'm going to try to do it nice. So I serve an ice cream and then the people eat the ice cream with chocolate on the lips
and you have the chocolate flavor. You can make marks on your body, you can kiss
That's kinky stuff. Kinky stuff? Yeah, that's for sure. Oh my gosh
Chocolate made with love. One thing is very important, never ever put lipstick in your pocket, it will melt and
it will be very embarrassing to walk around. Okay? This is for my kids, my daughters are going to love this
I organized the birthday party for the Rolling Stones. For the Rolling Stones! Yeah
They asked me to organize their birthday party when they were in Brussels and they asked
me to do funny stuff in to-do-making. So one of the things I did, I inspired by a machine from my grandfather for sneaking
tobacco, I made a chocolate shooter. What is that? I'm going to show you
So it's like a small catapult. It has two spoons. I have a mixture of mint ginger and cacao put a little bit you have to take the right size of your nose I will count to three One two three
Then you have the mint and the ginger who opens your nose. Then it goes down. Not yet
And then you have like a chocolate feeling in your brains and then you'll eat your dessert
So you eat chocolate dessert without eating it. Crazy dude! I'm gonna try
I did it as a joke and the Rolling Stones they loved it. Oh sure
The day after it was in all the newspapers. Can I try? That's true
Of course. I will count to three and then you sniff. One, two, three
Like it goes all the way in. Whoa, what a sensation
Oh yeah? Oh my gosh. It's not a big gastronomic invention, but it's fun at a party
No, I'm sure. It's like, you want a little sniff? You want chocolate
I'll try. I will count to three. And then I'll sniff. And then I'll sniff
One, two, three. You feel it? Yes. Yeah, I can tell why the Rolling Stones like this
It's the best. Definitely the machine. Yes, of course. Wow. Wow. This should be the real
Chocolate is rock and rolly. Wow. Alright guys, so we're done here at Chocolate Line and Dominic was telling me I have to get
on a boat, do a little boat tour. So you said it's this way? Yeah
Just behind the corner and the near the street, you will see it. Perfect
My man. I'll see you next time, okay? Thank you, man. Spicy chocolate. Very good idea
See you soon. Bye bye. Here we go. 24 euros for me and him to go on the boat
Can I pay a card? Perfect. So if you want to do a private tour, it's 360 euros
But that fits around 20 people on the boat. But we're just gonna do 24 euros, one-on-one, and they wait
So in 10 minutes we leave basically. Once the first person buys, you guys wait and then..
10-15 minutes max, we have already finished. Perfect. You can just... Perfect. Perfect
Danke well. Enjoy. Thank you. I'm a short ride. How are you
What's your name? Bastien. Bastien. Perfect Bastien. Left is the best. Left is the best
So we sit next to you. Ja? Finito? Ready for another boat ride
I won't say no. Oh, everybody's already here? Perfect. Captain's County, 12 euros, 30 minutes
I'm excited, we're gonna see Bruges from the bottom. 30, 35 people and it's packed
Good business, business is good. Can you see the difference here
Enjoy the view we need from the time shift. So under this bridge only one boat fits at a time
Yeah, one. Only one boat? Yeah, only one. So what's the best beer in Bruges? Duvel
You think Duvel's the best beer in Bruges? For me it is. 666? Yeah, same day, same day
What a good number, but a good beer. Wow. Yeah, well massive
Wow, these are all like super old homes. So today it's actually a very quiet day for the city. It can be a lot more busy
July and August, it's very crowded. So come in June? Come in June, the end of June
End of June is better. July, August, too much. And here after the bridge on the right you can see the old St. John's Hospital from the 12th century
It was a hospital for more than 500 years. That was a hospital for more than 500 years
hospital after the bridge. Wow. If you want to stand up, it's all good for me
but have a look first. Careful, careful. If you want to get rid of your hospital, here's the moment. Whoa. Awesome
The old hospital that out is organized. Wow. It's amazing. Love this place
So that was an old hospital for 500 years. More than 500 years old hospital. Beautiful
What is it now? A hotel, I'm sure. A museum, man. A museum now. And over there is the best place to get some muscles
jump in the water. I'm joking. That's tight
150 swans. The monastery of the Heinehof
See, no? And that's an old monastery, this one. Old monastery, yeah, over the right
And then here you can see the Brilmebree is the Half Moon Brilmebree
That is the Prawerei, the Half Moon Prawerei. It's the beer effect debris
It's very important. No beer, no life, man. So in Belgium, no beer, no life
No beer, no life. I need my ale. I haven't had my first one today yet
I'm going to have one after this. Of course, of course. Be careful, eh? Attention. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh
The hospital was for transporting the dead bodies. You can see the white part of the vehicle that were deportees in them, but this was dead
and that's how they put it. So that white gate is how they got rid of the dead bodies. Transport
That's where they would transport them. So they would take them from here to the morgue? From here to the graveyards
The graveyards. All the rest of the houses that you can see are all private houses
All private houses? All private houses. 20,000 locals. How much does it cost
This one is 489,000 euros for this one and it's small. Are you interested
I'm interested. What's the price? Almost 500,000. That's a palace right there
Or was a palace. It was a palace, also a museum for the Blandre
So it's time. And also the other privy is the Bourgogne de Flandre, is André Pravorei Bourgogne de Flandre
Right there is Bourgogne de Flandre. This is a brewery, right in the center of Rouge
We'll go there later, Tassels. Get a good beer. It's amazing. Watch out over here, also very low
Be careful, pay attention. Only two people died on my boat this season
You lost two people? Two people died? How long have you been driving boats
Eight years. Eight years? And you're local to Bruce? I'm very local
So here are two churches on a very small distance. In our city we have 21 churches
21 churches in Bruges. Our golden century was the 15th century. The population in the Middle Ages was 40,000
Today it's only 20,000. The city was a little bit like New York or London
Today it was the New York of the Middle Ages. It was a very important, it was a very powerful city
So 15th century, there's 40,000 people living in Rouge, double the population of today
And this was the medieval harbor. You can still see where they would post up, right
Where they were actually like dock. How old is this one? 15th century
Good question. It's really old. Yeah, I mean, it's very unique the way they did them
Oh, wow. This is the end of the road. Then here are the modern houses on the right side
I don't know what happened. Don't ask me what happened. It doesn't fit
So then the house is a patron. So weird. It doesn't fit
Yeah, it doesn't fit. It's like brand new. And then the golden age for Bruges was 15th century
around there. That was like the height of it. Yeah. Because it was one of the richest cities in Europe
It was. The city's stunning. So a tea house. It's a very small addition
It's a tea house right there. So cool. So the people standing up there is nothing yet
This is nothing. High season is a bunch of people over here. So from here, we have the most photographed spot in the city
So if you're an IG superstar, go there. This is the end of my story, my explanation
I hope you enjoyed it a little bit. And I wish you a very nice day here in the city
And enjoy the weather as well. The rain in Belgium is already very positive
So enjoy the moment. You can change very fast. It was great
Thank you so much. Thank you, this is awesome. So what's the name of this one? Notre Dame? Notre Dame of Our Lady
Notre Dame of Our Lady. That's another gothic like 13th, 14th century building. Church. It's really beautiful
Hey, thank you so much. Appreciate you. Alright guys, let's go. It's time for some muscles that pull it
I'm hungry. So we're walking to the most photographed place in Bruges
He was saying that in high season, July, August, this place is packed
I mean, right now it's packed as well. I think the thing here is that because it's very, very wide
you can get a nice view of all these buildings. But you don't see that church
But you do see, I think, the tower from here. And if you want more waffles, Mr. Waffle Sandwich, Belgian Tapestry Lace
Well, that's cool. That's your invite, Colin Farrell. We'll have a nice ale
You know, Carl likes to drink. When he's not paying the penguin, he's drinking
Amazing. So we're going to this place called Pulis Moles. Hopefully I didn't butcher that
but it's right next to the chocolate line. Literally right next door. All right, Pulis Moles
Can't wait. We're gonna have some delicious mussels right here. This is great, huh
Hey, how are you doing? Good. Don't worry, we already talked to him
How's everything? Fine, fine, fine. Good? Nice boat ride. Oh man, amazing, amazing, loved it

Like I'm eating to eat, but it's okay. We'll make it happen. Awesome
Well, let me whip you up some stuff if you like. Yeah. So what do you do here
So here we have our Latin American joint. So Inspired, we used to run like a co-joint venture in Mexico, in Polanco
So the love for Mexico is huge and Latin American in general. So what we do here is we serve Latin American inspired food
So we work with local ingredients, but serve it in a non-traditional way like Latin American
and then we do cocktails on tap, and then beers in can. So this is like very atypical for Bruce
Everyone's like, ah, you know, like I'm the exorcist. And then we have beers in cans
for like our favorite crab breweries here in Belgium. So small breweries, bigger breweries
like just all cool crab beers, and most of them are canned, so
Tacos, ceviche, quesadillas. We also have beer and cocktails. Yeah. It's like you already have all this from Mexico, right
Yes a little There we go tequila grapefruit yes Michelada We serve Michelada yes But it not very popular here in Belgium
so no one ever asks it. This is one of my favorite beers in Belgium
It's called Kiss My Neighbor's Wife. Oh! It's like a sour beer, like a juicy, sour IPA
Super nice. So wherever you are in the world right now, kiss your neighbor's wife
Okay? There we go. And what is this sour IPA? Juicy sour, yeah
Juicy sour. It's like special acidification process they apply, which is very normal in these parts of Europe
It's super fresh, super creamy. It's juicy, super hoppy, but the sour aspect is different for an IPA
It's perfect. All right, let's come into the kitchen. Let's see them making some tacos
All right, let's do this. Let's do it. How are you doing? Good? Good, thank you
My friend here's family is from India, but she was born in Belgium. Yes
It's amazing. That's the best thing about this country. Everybody's like multicultural mix
All right, I'll start with the duck. Duck. We have two tacos
We have some marinade we use for the veggie tacos. We'll use it as well to dip the tacos
Oh, wow, that makes the... It's a corn tortilla. So it's gonna be like a juicy corn tortilla
Say if I have like the pulled beef and the pulled pork, they have their own juices. Because the duck doesn't have its own juice, I use the vegetable man
It has more flavor than just water. I love that part of the duck
It's like crispy. It's like the hotter side of the grill. It smells so good
This is what I had last night. This is the duck sauce. So I have a little bit of the bowl
And what's the sauce? It's like a sauce with a lot of spices
Here's some arnese, orange. It's like a hibachi grill right there. It's nice though
Wow, they look good. Oh, you're gonna put like a chorizo? Yeah, put some chorizo on it as well
And then we have some cilantro mayo we make. Fresh whipped brown onions. I'm ready, bro
Here you go, buddy. So that's the duck, and that's the shrimp taco sauce. Ooh, with some chorizo on the side
Spicy sausage. Our cocktail and two different tacos. Let me try this cocktail
Oh, it's nice. It almost feels like a michelada, no? Yeah, because it's with the salt
It's like a little savory note to it, but it's just like grapefruit tequila, some fresh lime
It's like water, bro. These duck tacos are ridiculous. So I'm going to add some of this sauce on top
I love these type of tacos. Thin corn tortilla, and they stack this
Look at that amount of duck. They just fell apart. Oh, yeah
Great meat. Oh man, so tender. It's all flavored in that sauce
Amazing. Yeah, I love that the corned tikka has been soaking in that sauce. Is it okay to do it like this
Yeah, right? The mako, it's standing straight. Yeah. You need to eat it three bites in order to cut it down
That's amazing. We'll wait until the shrimp will be. The shrimp? Let's go over there
Lots of onions on top. I like that. Gives me a nice crunch
That one's great. This one's like stellar, man. Yeah, it is. Crazy, right
Different flavors throughout. Nice crunch, freshness. I love the mix of chorizo and shrimp
The corn tortilla. A little spicy. If you want an alternative to Belgian food, come here
cocktails, drinks, and tapas. Estos tacos son increíbles. Beer? But it's super fresh when you compare it to all the patty food
It's like a nice refreshment in between. Well, it's like a palate cleanser
I should have had it in between the tacos. Here we go. This beer, nice sour punch
Here we go. Bro, amazing food. Thank you so much. Thank you

I will I will bye bye All right, so I thought we were done, but he said we have to visit that 800 year old medieval
tavern. It's right there. Let's drop it or let the peace. This is the 800 year old medieval
tavern. Hello. How are you doing? Very good. All right, let's go in here. Whoa, like stepping
back in time right now. Wow, this is amazing. This is cool
So what's this one? That's a black idea. It's called Malar Novus Black
Dark and bitter. We literally stepped back in time into a medieval tavern, 13th century
Look at the ceilings. We were underground. Back in the day, these guys were like, you know why they slammed the glasses
in case somebody put poison, the poison goes into their glass too. We have a black IPA right here
Oh, that's addictive. Wow. What is this called? Milud. Belgian beers are the best
When you come to Belgium, try all their beers, chocolate, waffles, mussels
and enjoy the language, because you get lost in translation here. I hope you guys enjoyed Brews
I hope you enjoyed this trip. I love you guys. I'll see you soon. Peace
