Greek food is stellar
This and the French series is probably the best episodes in a very long time
Lovely Crete, we have been there 1 month ago, fantastic food, people and a lot of cats who need our attention😻
Lots more on 🇬🇷 greece please really enjoyed that thank you 🙏🇬🇧
More to come!
Welcome to my home…thanks for giving Greek/createn food your approval…it is awesome ..so Thanks 🙏 for sharing your experience…Alex🇬🇷
I lived on Crete for a total of 17 months. Raki is great because you can also use it as aftershave and as a disinfectant. 😜 Dakos salad is also one of my favorites. It originated in a very remote and secluded region of Crete, in the South. The people just took their old bread and grated fresh tomatoes on top of it, plus the cheese. So simple, healthy, and delicious!
it's not exactly old bread, its παξιμάδι, some type of hard-bread that lasts for months without spoiling.
@@envy3353 Thanks for clarifying that! It's just perfect because it absorbs the grated tomatoes and olive oil while staying crunchy.
So far this is the best video show the real Greek streets food 👏🏻
Amazing food, been to turkey but the food here is way more healthier andv tasty
Better seasoned,less greasy, less spicy (if you can't stand it Turkish cuisine is heavy)higher quality ingredients. Turkish food tastes like elevated fast food. They focus on making masses of food instead of making them right.
All these wonderful treats make my mouth watering. Thank you for sharing the wonderful journey through Greek and it's food. Take care, Luke and Mink. ❤❤❤❤
This is the first time I see Bougatsa, and it conquer me immediately. I really want to go to Greece to eat it!
The owner of the bakery is so nice, and the spinach pie looks delicious and perfect for breakfast!
The dessert of milk pudding and racki after lunch should be a perfect match to make you look more energetic!
The streets there are so beautiful. In fact, you can introduce more about the local history and culture in the future. You don’t have to just focus on the food!
Thank you very much for sharing, super great job! 👍🥰🙏
Thanks Gianni. Greece is definitely one of my favorite places to visit in Europe!
@@LukeMartin It is my honor, thanks to you too!
It makes sense. I thought you were a Greek from the beginning. You are as beautiful as a Greek statue!
Take care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
For a splendid bougatsa, I recommend east- northern Greece.
@LukeMartin you have a Greek vibe on you definitely!
Wow. Wish I was there.
20:36 - On that frame , my dear friends , you can see the face of a man that tastes for the first time some really good cretan lamb.
A man that accents to heavens after the tenderness and juiciness of the chops are dancing inside his mouth.
As a matter of fact, this kind of reaction , sometimes, is also triggered by local Cretans (myself included) , even though they have tasted lamb multiple times.
This is one of those experiences that you will probably remember for life. Like the memory of you doing bungee jumping , the birth of your newborn baby, the smile of your wife greeting you after a long day at work...
This , is the power of "Paidakia". (Greek for "Lamb Chops")
Great Comment!
Ascends* btw 🙏🏻
And I Agree 100% 😋
Fantastic video Luke. I've never seen you so happy eating all the meals. You were in heaven!
I was 😇
Never knew Greek food could look soooo amazing....thanks for this video ☺️☺️☺️☺️
My pleasure 😊
That's nothing. 5% of Greek cuisine
This is what winning at life looks like
the "cake" is revani.
it's made with semolina and eggs, also has lemon/orange zest in it.
then it's soaked in thin syrup, and topped with coconut sprinkles.
You are the first person I've seen to really capture the culture of Greece in the right way well done my friend
My gosh Greek good looks absolutely rich and amazing 😍 Crete looks heavenly, what a beautiful place to be, it is a dream of mine to go to the Greek islands
It really is!
Crete is on my short list! So happy to see you there!
Best food in the world at Crete
Hellenic cuisine is one of the best in the world!
the best
is the best
Haaaaa because you say
Thank you for the wonderful video of Greece's 99 year old crazy street food 👍
Thank you!
Beautiful sceneries and MOUTH-WATERING FOODS bro! 🥲🤤
Thank you 😋
Hey man! I am from Chania. Totally accurate what I ve seen in this video. You have tried some of our finest recipes! And that gyros place Oasis has by far the best gyros in town. More expensive than other places but that's because of the better meat quality they use.
*Great video and it's great to see you with a good company! Crete is fantastic and if you come to Greece again, don't forget to visit Corfu. You'll be amazed by our cuisine and the architecture of the island. Take care. Greetings from Corfu, Greece*
Would love to hear/see more of Mink's thoughts on the food and sights
La cucina greca semplice e strepitosa.
I grew up here in Chania!!! Love it!
great job. Raki in Crete doesn't have anise. only grapes. Glad you had a great trip
Greek food is the best in the world ❤
Fresh clean healthy food
Beautiful Island.
Thank You Luke Enjoying A Lot .
Amazing video, this is the first time that I get the recipes. It looks delicious.
All that food looks amazing and so delicious. I love gyros and kabobs. All the meats look great.
Amazing video, but I recommend you the next time you visit again Greece you should go at Volos and try out the local as we call them tsipouradika with the meze that they serve along tsipouro. It's a great experience and you should try it out.
Welcome home. I understand it was just a short break but you both seemed to have so much fun. The soup you made looked amazing I have asked my wife to give it a try. You did the one thing I love about Greece you go to the small towns and villages and look for all the local produce and home items, i love doing that. Glad you are both back and safe regards
Best thing I’ve watched this week. Been a few years since we went to Chania. Superb, pal, keep it up.
ΜΠΡΆΒΟ ΠΟΛΥ ΩΡΑΊΑ ΤΑ ΒΊΝΤΕΟ ΣΑΣ ❤❤❤🇬🇷👍
Those meats looked off the charts. I need to hit Greece up.
Everything looks so beautiful....the food you recommend
best food review channel on internet.
🙏
how is it best food review when you could mistake lamb chops for pork chops is mind blowing for the entire 5mins of the videos....smh
@@yyeo3880 HAHAHAHAH thats actually a hilarious comment. But i will say then It is the most pleasant visually/auditorily stimulating food review show on the internet. Great cinematography.
@@yyeo3880omg chill out dude he explains it on the screen
The grilled meat is what looked amazing 🤩
Nice video. It is actually Tsikoudia or also they say raki. Accent on the last a. We will be there in June. Thanks for the places. Kali oreksi kai kalo dromo
Yia mas! 🍻
Greek cousine probably the best in Europe
😂😂 TURKISH CUSINE Best in World 🇹🇷💪🇹🇷❤
@@adlanselim8327Let the others decide about.
@@adlanselim8327Alles habt ihr geklaut.
@@adlanselim8327 Greek ranked 2nd Turkish ranked 7th...
@@adlanselim8327 There is no such thing as'turkish cuisine'. Your 'turkish cuisine' is copy paste recipes from the lands you enslaved in past.Because you change the names of those recipes doesnt make them yours...they make you thieves.Something that you turks are famous for... Your 'turkish dolma' is the ancient Greek fylaion, dating back in Alexanders the great years... Your 'turkish kiofte' is the Byzantin kopton. Your 'turkish cocoretsi' is the Byzantine garthoumpa or plechti. Your 'turkish koulouri' we have it in ancient Greek potery pictures. Your 'turkish yougart' you can fint it in Homers epic Troy with the name xinogala... Your 'turkish kebab' is Lebanese... Greeks was eating souvlaki from 1500 bc.Evidences of it founded in Santorini ancient city of akrotiri... Your 'turkish coffe' is Arabic... Your 'turkish kataif' is the Byzantin mallia aggelou... Your 'turkish...bla bla bla....oh...i can go all day.Greeks had recipes books from bc.They didnt expecting from some mogolian nomads who was eating uncooked meat that was stored under the horses sits.(its described by Byzantines) I know that in your country they are bombing you with propaganda 24/7 but even you cant be soo...st...blind.
P.S.: Greeks stole from you...?
bitch please😂😂😂
👍🏻 great videos in Greece!
If you haven’t already be sure to visit nearby Cyprus
Would love to go!
Cyprus is a joke compared to Crete. Even though they are our brothers, speaking same language, same religion, their food is like Lebanese. A pure joke compared to the Cretan cuisine. Sorry Cypriot brothers but that the reality..😊
Very nice, especially the sandwich with pita bread if you can called that a sandwich from the hole in the wall. Thanks for the video.
First of all to all the people who argue about if Greek food is the best or not
I’m a fairly big guy and big eater
I used to spend 4-5 months a year in Greece and 7-8 months in the USA
When I was in Greece
I would not eliminate any food from my daily meals
Instead I would eat a lot more desserts
I would eat a ton of bugatsa,douliumbes,kariokes and galaktobouriko
On almost a daily basis
Plenty of bread with my salad
So after my vacations
I would go home and I would notice that I lost a lot of weight
As soon as I was in the states I would watch my food intake
And I would gain a lot of weight
So yes Greek food is the best
❤️🇬🇷
I laughed when he kept calling the lamb chops as "pork chops" and everytime Luke said it, *lamb chops would appear on the screen. 😂
Mouth watering episode......❤❤ !!
😋
EVERYTHING tastes great in Greece. Is it the Mediterranean sun? The atmosphere? The fresh, natural ingredients? Or that everything is made with love? P.S My ancestors from my mother's side were from Crete.
You chose the best bbq in town by far
that all looks amazing
Raki after a Lamb Kelftiko is amazing!
12:39 = Dakos "Salad" is your New Favorite Greek Dish, and TasteAtlas agrees with you, ranking is the #1 BEST SALAD in the World !!!! 🇬🇷🙌🏻
big ups Luke! welcome to greece my brother
thank you :)
Love Greece 🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷♥️🇬🇷
Thanks, another awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent ❤
The "dakos" bread dish with the tomato salsa looked incredible. I was doing a quick search and found out that it is not something commercially available but if you can find a whole wheat multi grain bread and let it go stale if will work as a good substitute. I don't care for the dipping in water part but I think if you put the tomato salsa on the bread an hour before eating it will probably soak in enough. A few YT videos show dousing it in olive oil before adding the salsa as well. Thanks for the great video and definitely enjoying yoru European tour. #Crete #ChopstickTravel
You'll need to dry it in an oven. Just having it stale is not the right texture.
Luke, great job my friend! Just found you out... You seem happy after the raki... Cheers!!!
Thought it was amusing to hear you declare These are the best pork chops I’ve ever had and a caption popping up on the screen that read lamb chops.
Food looked great though especially the meat dishes.
My grandfather was born in hanya. I want to visit as soon as possible
Your grandfather was Cretan Greek but muslim.
Well done!!!
Being from the city of Chania I have to say you made an awesome review!
Good you used hands to eat lamb...the correct way
Nice episode as always. Btw! The clean shaven look suits you much better, dude..
Great beautiful food
Yes it was
Great video!!
Thanks!
Bravo😍
Haha i remember Mark Wiens going to Oasis and pronouncing it Oasee. Bless him, but he was obviously on to something, the food looks incredible!
Oasee is in fact the Greek pronunciation.
@theene6043 thank you, I did wonder about the pronunciation, so thanks for clarifying! Still think it was cute when Mark pronounced it like that.
My lovely hometown
quick info , raki is traditional liquor that Crete produces , its not so strong , thats why people in Crete use to drink it from morning to night ( cause its not so strong ) . Strongest liquor in Alcohol in Greece is Tsipouro . Same colour same product that raki and wine is produced ( grapes ) but different distillery proccess . But also something i forgot , its always on the producers hand on how many alcohol points they want to produce their liquor so is kinda random depending to the producers choice .
Deja vu...but very enjoyable :-) I guess never tire....
nice looks tasty and yummy its like cassava cake
Great video! Looks yummy! How did you find which places to go? Also, why no prices - wondering if expensive or reasonable...?
The current neo traditional breakfast of Greece is Iced espresso and 3 cigarettes
Very Nice Video Superb Sooooo awesome
Miam-miam ❤
Good job👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Salute from Thessaloniki Greece.Creatn food is one of the best food in Greece and in the world.Turkish influence is pretty strong in our foods etc.Its a perfect combination.(especially in our sweet creations).Thank you for this amazing video.
Would love to visit Thessaloniki some day!
Greek influence in Turkish cuisine is pretty strong too. Just some of the names of dishes remained Turkish as part of the 400 years of ottoman repression.
@@LukeMartin Come to my hometown Ioannina 😍It's also in the north like Thessaloniki but different region!
most of "turkish" dishes are persian and greek and levantine, and very old.
it is just that people often use their turkish names, because the turks was the last empire to rule over those lands.
7:24 there are in sardinia too, called "pardulas"
nice job dude !!!!!! im dining ti try this , in in florida !!! damm!!1
Sugar and alchool!!! nice combo :D :D
Oh Yeha,JUMMI JUMMI!
we call the small round one "lychnaraki" which means a small Aladdin Oil Lamp (λυχναρι),kaltsouni is the other one with the spinach...
Amizing bro nice food in 🇬🇷 great 🍖🍺🍝🌯🍳 see you agein next video Luke hug from your fan 🇵🇹🇪🇺🌶🌶😊❤
23:35
I don't even have to go to Greece to have good greek food. I live in Astoria, Queens!
Some things are not the same tho like a yeero for example.
Not even close
Definitely not! @@Gk-ug6gu
are you serious? you're missing out big time
Not missing out on anything. The Malakas in Astoria are always saying..."Ella, ella doh, I have a big souvlaki stick for you!" LOL. The Greek food in Astoria is excellent!
@@vassilisioannou5488
You are still in Crete ?
"its like a full meal..." and that is how university students survive in Greece,not with euro with gyro....ahahahahahahaha
Im hungry now😬
İzmir'den Yunanistan halkına selâmlar.👋

Hey I am trying to find the Quisina place on google maps? Can you help? Thank you for the video!
Y O L O ... even if the stuff will give you heart disease and diabetes... the coffee looks good❤
Besides the meat dishes, all dishes were quite healthy.
Bugatsa without the sugar top is much better also try apple pie with fillo 🤤
18:30 Steve will do it intro sound 😂 🔥
Please include prices of food when you travel. Helps the viewer to plan trips.
Do you have a video of eating your way through the Philippines?
yummyyyyyyyyyy
I am so glad that you distinguished the Cretan cuisine from the Greek cuisine. The island of Crete is the epicenter of the Mediterranean cuisine. As a Cypriot, I congratulate you.
