Id like to see more bang for the buck restaurants- I dont necessarily mean "cheap" but quality for reasonable value. I think thats always a separate list. Many of the "best" expensive places I go once a year or for a special event. I'd like to see more places that are good enough to eat monthly or twice a month.
Most people are dissatisfied with the restaurant scene where they live in one way or another. In my part of the world, Scandinavia (I'm Swedish), eating out habits display both resemblances and diffences to other parts of Europe as well as USA (which of course is very diverse in that area, New Yorkers eat out much more frequently than average Americans for instance). There's much to choose from in Sweden and the quality is great, but there's also a lot of things we as a nation lack if you ask me. Let's talk about pros and cons of the different restaurant cultures of nations. Few people dine at exclusive Michelin star establishments several times a month anywhere on earth, but all of us are blessed in some way and we all have access to restaurants that are worth going to several times a month. In America, there's an abundance of fast food chains and affordable 'ethnic' food from all over the world. In my country it's easy to find good value meals from all over the world too, but the only fast food chains we have are McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Dunkin' Donuts, MAX (similar to Burger King simply put), some pricey domestic quality-oriented burger chains - and later this year Five Guys will open up a few restaurants over here. Americans definitely have more freedom of choice when it comes to fast food. Something that's amazing about a country like Italy is that ordinary people often can afford to both eat out with colleagues every working day during their long lunch breaks, as well as being able to visit a local trattoria in the vicinity of their home, eat excellent traditional food and enjoy a glass of wine several days a week. The average American could perhaps afford to do so, but that person unfortunately lives in a suburb. Where there are no restaurants or bars. In general, it's more of a project to eat out as you have to get in the car and drive to another part of town. The average Italian/Spaniard/Portuguese/Greek on the other hand doesn't have the same access to foreign food as most Americans and Northern Europeans. In the largest cities in Southern Europe, you can find at least some restaurants doing foreign food (usually McDonald's, fake Chinese food or third rate kebab), but if you live in a city of below 200 000 inhabitants or in a small town your options are very limited in terms of international food. One of the best things about my country is the way we daily spend quality time with our colleagues. Southern Europeans do too, but in a different way. Typically, we have a quick coffee together in the morning, around 10 am it's time for fika, which means having something to drink (usually coffee) and often also to eat together (something sweet is the norm). Often work-related issues are discussed. At noon we typically go out for lunch together, but unlike people in cities like Rome we don't have a lunch break of several hours. We are still focused on our job and often important problems are solved during lunchtime at a restaurant serving hearty traditional Swedish food (even though more exotic food too is popular). Such restaurants are of intrinsic value to our culture, even though many Swedes don't realize it. At around 3 pm it's time for fika again. We don't work long hours, but all that high quality coffee makes us extremely concentrated as well as productive and we are masters of achieving consensus and reaching common goals thanks to the fika-culture and our daily lunch restaurant experiences together. What would I like to see more of in Sweden? To begin with, I want more of everything. For example, I want more BBQ restaurants. You can get Texas style BBQ in Sweden, but the few places dedicated to that technique are only open in summer (as far as I know). Scandinavia has the best seafood on earth. Our waters are colder than others and therefore the things living in them grow at a slower rate, making the flavors more concentrated. While some of it is expensive, some of it isn't and therefore there should be more of restaurants making delicious things out of less exclusive seafood like mackerel, herring, mussel, crab and oyster. But all restaurants serving seafood apparently think that either you offer every kind of seafood, or you don't serve seafood at all. As things like lobster, halibut, turbot and sole are expensive, seafood restaurants in Scandinavia always are on the fancy side. Finally, I wish there were more places in Sweden serving a Swedish smörgåsbord (an all you can eat buffet consisting of a wide array of both cold and hot dishes). It's more than a trifle ironic that in Sweden of today, which is a smörgåsbord of food from all over the world, a real Swedish smörgåsbord is nowhere to be found.
Rockstar made Niku X look great on RUclips, but the overall experience was disappointing. All the seafood was bland, beef was solid but not great, 15 minute buffet line on a weekday... I won't be returning
Another Rockin Episode!!
I would go eat at all the spots with Steve Rockstar Eater & Dining Doll Stephanie. 😍🖤🥰🥂🎉
