Searching For the Golden Bull. Eating in Budapest Part 10: African Buffet
no responses - Posted 08.31.10
On a long hike through Joseph's Town on the way to Rosensteins I notice an attractive corner diner "Afrikai ". I decide to take refuge within, have a beer or two and relax as I've been on the go since the early morning hours. I realize quickly upon walking in that I'm not going to be able to limit myself to ... continue -
Searching For the Golden Bull. Eating in Budapest Part 9: Csülök Csárda or Pork Knuckle Inn
no responses - Posted 08.24.10
Walking east along Rakoczi Utca away from Urania Train Station it takes a few minutes but you finally reach a small stretch of Budapest that's still a mite rough and tumble. The old days of District 8 are seemingly long gone as the pimps, hustlers and street toughs have migrated to Lord knows where. But as you approach Csülök Csárda there's a ... continue -
Searching For the Golden Bull. Eating in Budapest Part 8: Vörös Ördög Etterem or Red Devil Restaurant

Love the name. After a long, fruitless slog wherein I walked for a few hours from Pest to Buda via Margit Island only to find Csalagony 26 closed for summer vacation I'm at loose ends. I decide to continue walking up into the hills of Buda to see if I can stumble upon someplace interesting where I can have a nice ... continue -

It's rare but there are times when I'm on vacation overseas that I prefer the traditions of the Americans. To wit. If you walk into a bar around midnight in USA chances are pretty good that there won't be a dozen or so pre-teens riding bicycles around the tables and generally having the time of their lives. Such is not the case ... continue -
Searching For the Golden Bull. Eating in Budapest Part 6: Fulemule Return Visit
no responses - Posted 08.23.10
Turns out I'm a Hungarian Jew. My mom will be surprised when I return stateside and begin questioning her genealogy. She hasn't been that forthcoming so far but perhaps if I smoke a brisket the way Fulemule does she'll spill the beans. A few years ago owner Andras Singer decided to get serious about his brisket, a Jewish restaurant staple. He ... continue -
Searching For the Golden Bull. Eating in Budapest Part 5: Belvárosi Disznótoros or Inner City Pig Platter
no responses - Posted 08.22.10
In the American South when you see a sign with a smiling pig you can be assured that you're about to dine on pork, it will be good and there will be plentiful ice cold sweet tea to wash it all down. Belvarosi Disznotoros hits on two out of three. They have a beautiful sign with a cartoon pig wearing an apron ... continue -
Searching For the Golden Bull. Eating in Budapest Part 4: Fulemule

"Howdy, is this Fool Mule"? The girl looks askance at the stranger who's strolled into the quiet, elegant restaurant in the heart of Budapest's Joseph's Town. "Pardon". I pull out my notebook and point towards my entry for Fulemule. She smiles and exaggeratedly says "Foolay Moolay" as though she were talking to a recalcitrant child. "I'm sorry about that" I offer. "I ... continue
