  • In this episode of Munchies, we meet Toni, the second-generation manager of Bar El Tomas de Sarria, known for serving up one of the best patatas bravas in Barcelona.
    Toni's father started producing the famed tapas back in the 70s. Here, Toni teaches us what exactly goes into a great plate of bravas: passion, love and quality olive oil.

    He speaks English, and sometimes he does pause or skip a few things, but when he speaks, you can hear the passion wanting to burst out. I love that. Hope to come to Barcelona one day.

    El Tomás, timeless classic. My grandfather used to go there with my father when he was little, my father brought me there since I was a kid, and if I have kids I will make sure they try the Tomás' bravas too. Best in the city, almost unrivaled.

      That's actually not true. If you are going to be a sheep and just follow the news, you'll be being one of those millions of idiot who have no idea.
      Locals do want tourists but want you to stay in Hotels and not Airbnbs. Spend your money on local restaurants not Mcdonald's, Hardrock Cafe, KFC or Nobu. Don't do stupid shit like standing in the middle of a busy street to take selfies or placing your phone on the escalator to film yourself coming out of a metro station in Sagarada Familia.
      Read a little bit. It'll make sense.

    and since youtube deletes my comments to replies to this, i need to edit this one to include my response to one of the replies:
    to respond to the person who said "you might want to research bio-availability of plant based proteins ....." i responded by saying "you might want to google the words "Patrik Baboumian" and rethink that statement
    oh, and rice farming is worse for the planet than "tofu" farming (tofu farming, lol ok) and POTATO farming in particular is one of the least environmentally destructive staple food sources on earth AND one of the most resistant to human caused climate change, unlike the endangered rice. it is the food of the future, literally
