Actually as a Belgian we mostly go towards what we call a "frituur" to eat our fries. Every year the local newspaper announced the best "frituur" of the year. It's not only about the fries but also about the snacks that are offered over there
true and as another Belgian, this one stays away from the overpricing chains. Nice vid though
as a belgian, do you like jews?
K’zen Antwerps en k’zeg u den besten frut vinde in de kleinste dorp’kes 💪🏽
Ik ben van België
en natuurlijk de owner van de frituur
Belgium is definetly not the most boring country. The people are friendly, they have a nice cafe culture. If respect for others is bring, yes, it is boring. But the museums are bomb, they know how to throw the best festivals and the food is great. And my favorite sauce is definetly tartare. And well, Belgium has the best beers too.
idk ab the friendly part, lots of motzakken that live here :)
were def not friendly lol
lmao did you say the people are friendly? You have either never been to the country or haven't stayed very long. Belgians (Europeans in general though) are very cold, uninviting and inhospitable people. And It's definitely one of the most boring countries.
@@aceincarnate2762I'm a Belgian and yes Belgians are kinda meh... but as for Europeans I must disagree I've been to Romania and there are A LOT of very nice welcoming people there. It doesn't even feel like Europe that's how warm some of those families are.
"..museums are bomb." wo I reference lol
You have to do more videos from Belgium, try the waffles, beer, mousses, chocolate etc
the entire series is coming out now! there are 12 more episodes and trust me, we try all of those foods, stay tuned!
Broodjes as well!
Good luck with the food coma's! :p@@Davidsbeenhere
Geen wafels! Broodjes! Martino, smos, americain
Let us not forget Belgian fried potatoes either!
Awesome to finally see Belgium as a destination of one of the foodies! I am Belgian myself. You should have tried the traditional snacks alongside the fries though. A frikandel or vleeskroket/bitterballen etc.... You really missed out if you didn't try them.
it's curryworst maat...
@@Koepex het is een frikandel broer
Such a warm welcome from the man working at La Friterie, great to see the enthusiasm ❤
Every fries looks so delicious, with its own special touch. David if you love fries thats the place to go. Thank you 💕
Of course it’s so good! ❤
Wow! Amazing video! Loving the new editing style David! :)
That last lady serving you was absolutely gorgeous
Definitely great episode
Finnaly someone who goes to Belgium i have never seen it before on yt
(Thanks for comming to my countryyy)
Every item looks delicious, Hallelujah, you make my mouth water! 👍🥰👏
super duper delicious!!!!
@@Davidsbeenhere Thanks a lot for letting me know, you are very nice! Thank you very much for sharing, super great job! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
Reminds me of going to get Belgium frites with friends when I was living in nyc, so fun, all about those sauces!!! Those all looked divine 🤤😍 (btw love Stella 🍻) And omg one of my favvvvv dinners are mussels & frites 🔥 hope you got all the interesting flavors if you did! 💜
This is the best! The country with the best fries on earth!
Those fries looks so delicious...with all those sauces/toppings....potatoes alwaysa must ha ve veggie for me. Beautiful video....looking forward to the rest. Thanks David...be safe...Peace.❤❤❤
@shabanahailey6410: How are you and Hailey doing. I see a lot of rain down there. I am back. Watched the Waoroni tribe videos previously. Looks like David is on a roll now. Have a safe and blessed day.🙏🏼❤️❤️🇨🇦🇹🇹
Ah thanks for the nice video like it alot. 😀 Are you going to put more of Belgium on your time line
Let's be grateful to the Belgian people for bringing us some of the best things that we can buy in the world.....The best chocolate, pastries, fries and of course their huge selection of top quality beers. In later life I'd be quite happy retiring to Belgium to live out my last few years in utter bliss, mainly merrily drunk, with a big belly, and extremely happy. 😀
Big fan David, awesome work all over the planet - by the way: being married to a lady from Brussels my Patricia pointed out that the BEST: fresh Belgium fries are from the friet-house (it was declared many times the best by the people from Brussel themselves!)near the Atomium, we ate there and I loved it - keep up the great taste !!!! Best from NYC !!!!✌🍟
Belgium is one of my favorite countries...fries+chocolate mean they really know something about life! And the Flemish art is astonishing!
Don't forget sight seeing where immigrant gangsters threw grenades or shot ak's in neighborhoods. lol
Wow awesome country and beautiful architects food looks so good awesome video David ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
amazing David!!!
Don't forget about the Belegde Broodjes :p love to see someone abroad checking out our culture!
And im so glad you know it's actually Belgian fries and not french! love it!!!
No tourist ever goes for belegde broodjes, while I'd say it's more integral to our culture than fries. Got a friend from spain who works as an expat here, and he agrees that we go crazy for broodjes, despite spain also having a bocadillo culture.
truly epic! Love belgium!
Fritland is my absolute favourite! ❤🍟🍟 I usually only go when I have visitors but every time I decide I should go more often 😁
hello! love watching your videos
appreciate you!
Those fries with that stew gravy on top and the beer I want for my last meal 😂 that looks so good and tasty
They be “Cooking up a Storm” right over there… Glad, yourself enjoyed every bite… 😂🍽
the best!!
So, very Truthful of you.@@Davidsbeenhere
Hey David, Surinam used to be a Dutch colony, so there are a lot of surinamese restaurants there, go do a food tour up there, they will have the javanese peanut saus you love so much.
Dat kan ik natuurlijk enkel beamen, de Surinaamse keuken is echt fenomenaal :)
Belgium is amazing I love the fries and beer,frites with andalouse is my go to 😊
The Flanders province is good to visit also
So good! Many many videos from this incredible country coming soon!
Flemish cities (Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Leuven,...) are - by far - the most beautiful in Belgium
I am belgian, that's cool to see you in my country! We got the best beers, the best fries, the best waffles and the best chocolate in the world ahah. We also have good weed :)
I saw a video from Mark Wiens in Miami, were you the guy showing him around?
Let's not the best mousses as welĺ.
the guy from "la friterie" is a goat
FRITLAND
is Getting FREE ADS FROM YOUR BLOGS😂😂😂❤
In Canada we have something we call “Poutine” which is very close to the Flemish stew fries I believe you’ll also enjoy it if you try))
My canada series comes out in august!!! Poutine is 100% on the menu
I lost all hope after realizing they fry the fries in Beef Fat until I reached the last part of the video, thank God for this restaurant! 🙏🏼
That's A LOT of fries man! I needed to take a break after this trip was over 🍟😅
@UnseenVoices: Hi Tasos. Hope all is well with you. How much weight did you put on with all those fries, especially the ones fried in beef fat? Take care of yourself 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🇹🇹🍟
The vybe in 2nd shop is more personable. They guy knows his industry and that is what will make me enjoy the experience
Fritland is for tourists. Every CZcams video "eating-fries-in-Brussels" ends up in that place.
A shame he doesn't fully peel bintjes though. I don't care what others like and put on their fries, but keep the classic and start with that if you make a video.
Well David, you are all over. Thanks for sharing. Be careful with eating too many fried foods. Lol.😊
Sweet 🤗😇
You should also try it with fresh made tartare saus. it is like mayonaise with herbs. And if you feel you don't want much fat in your body there is pickels sauce. It was the first sauce ever for belgian fries and i hate some establishments don't offer it anymore. It is sour and hot together. It is the healthy sauce but also the smell of the sauce on the fries makes you grave for it. Greetings from Belgium. PS: The frikandel or cury worst special or berepoot you should also try as a side snack. Highly reconmended.
the 3rd chip shop u went in is the same i went in when i went lol
The Frites Atelier is owned by a famous ex- 3 michelin star chef. As a Belgian myself i can tell you that if you want the traditional fries, you have to go to a local ‘frituur’. A pack of fries normally costs you around €2.6 so yeah it’s not a good representation to go to these places. On top of that, in the Belgian culture we always take fried snacks with the fries. You should try going to a local ‘frituur’/‘friterie’!
Thank you.
Oh man, if I knew you were here I would have showed you around some.
I think, you enjoyed your trip in my tiny country 😂😂I loved it 👌👍 greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪
I did! And moreeeee to come!
@@Davidsbeenhere That sounds fun 🙌 I can't wait 😉👍
Them french fries looks smashingly good 👍😁
BELGIAN FRIESSSSS!
Im watching this cuz tommorow morning ill go to Brussels jaaa
Definitely the best. I like to say you haven't had real fries until you've eaten Belgian Fries :)
You don’t get authentic fries in these spots. Just go to a small village and visit their local frituur, you won’t get any more authentic and delicious than that!
Whell next time you visit Leuven or Belgium, hit me up I’ll show you around the county.
Was that your first day in Belgium?Also, i am very excited for this series.
First video shot over two days!
Frying in beef tallow shows that the La Friterie guy cares about flavour, quality, and health. I barely eat fries outside my house anymore because almost all places fry in unhealthy (and cheap) vegetable oils which fcks up my stomach. Groeten uit Nederland. :)
What this guy said! beef fat is the only way to flavour and heath!
Any scientific explication for it? Sounds incredible
Almost every fry thing in belgium uses beef tallow :)
@@LucasDeKnibber Proper Frituurs do, yes. One of the things I miss most about Belgium is not being able to find proper double-fried in beef tallow fries where I'm at
@@DeFausti that's one of the sole reasons I don't wanna move away from here haha
You have to eat the fries with stoofvlees thats how we eat it in belgium.
Hope you’ve tried Belgian waffles too
video dropping soon!
Wonderfull
look unreal
Brilliant mr Hoffmann! The man himself, awesome! 💪🏆❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤bye❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Garwingcheung! I'm always so grateful for your support. Belgium is amazing!
@@Davidsbeenhere ha ha thanks☔
When I first moved here 3 years ago I was a mayo & ketchup girly only and now my favourites are Curry ketchip, Brasil and Samourai. DON'T SLEEP ON BRASIL SAUS
what you do is mix the stew and fries with lots of mayonaise. Im from Belgium Ghent
Finally new video.
the last 3 videos including my Amazon Rainforest series have been new videos...
Exactly. Because the best-est french fries can only be found in Belgium
Since they also have dangerous chocolate...better not visit :)
Anyway, I wish we could lure you into Germany. I would show you some awesome places where you can shoot wicked footage and NEVER, EVER come back again.
We love you in Belgium🔥mr Hoffmann!!!!!!¡
the best country ever!!!
Next time try Chouke
Morning David. Your brain must be fried on all those fries 😋😂🍟. I can't believe the amount of sauces they have; maybe they should combine all the sauces in one and call it 'The Works'. Bet you can't eat just one (fry). Glad to see everyone speaking English. Take care and waiting to see the next episodes.🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🇹🇹
So good ❤❤❤❤
Good morning Judy. I feel like I did not see you in a long time. Or maybe it's me? Hope all is well with you? Summer is going soon. The Ex is starting, your area will be busy. Have a wonderful day . Heading out to wk.🙏❤
@@ingridbee9192 morning Ingrid. I was busy and I told David in the newsletter that I was forgoing watching the documentaries and was waiting for the new series. I am still here, Everything is ok. It's going to be a real mess here with traffic being re-routed to King and Queen Streets because they closed the Dufferin bridge for repairs. Pedestrians only. It's about a five minute walk from where I live near Springhurst.
Anyway, you will see me more often in the comments now. Have a great day.🙏🏼❤️
Hi Judy...not much rain today ...nice seeing you andthe Amszon videos were awesome!!!...Anyway have a blessed safe day.❤❤❤
The sauces aren't combined but it's not unusual to see people eating a variety of sauces with their fries.
You gotta go mayo cocktail sauce and samurai
Floris one of the good - best Cocolade Beer!
So, stoofvleessaus and mayonaise is the number 1 sauce combo if the stoofvleessaus is good.
And a friet special basically mayonaise and ketchup and RAW finely chopped onion not fried onion, fried onion is what you put on a Bicky Burger not fries.
It might be different in Brussels but to me who is from Antwerp the combinations seemed weird.
Oui, les frites Belges sont très bonnes!
This reminds me venezuela 🇻🇪 Colombia Peru like stew sauce with fries 🍟👌 or tons of mayo ketchup with fries 😅like 🇻🇪 lol the pineapple sauce like the one that 🇨🇴 Colombia
Great for soaking up all that belgian beer.(frites)
Bruxelles ma belle, my sweet hometown.
As a belgian my self i would probably rather go eat at the last place. tho probably expensive compared tot the traditional "frituur" that stew looks better than any i have ever had tbh! and i have never seen it with the mustard seeds ontop. it looked amazing! also traditional frituur never really serves Fresh stew. its more of an insta gravy kind of stuff usualy.
should have went for a dark beer tough
And the most important thing. Eat the flemish beefstew with a big chunk of mayonaise on top.
Best thing in the world.
Everyone loves andalouse :)
Peanut sauce is the key to Great Frites
im mostly a sauce on the side person dont like so drowned out by it.. Only thing I like that way is poutine :) But those fries look so good .
@elizabeth16598ee: nice to see your comment. Too much fries for me. I don't eat it although they look so tempting. Hope all is well with you. Still hot here in Toronto although it cools down at night. Take care and sending prayers and blessings to you 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🇹🇹
@@JudyT868 hi Judy nice to see you to. yeah I can do few fries the sauce i dip it not have it so soaked cant deal but fries looked good.. dont eat lot fries either. Hot here today 32C bleh but does cool at night Hope you stay cool in day. and do hope your ok also .. Im hanging in there Prayers and love your way to ♥♥♥
@@elizabeth16598ee All is well 👍🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🇹🇹
found it funny "can eat vegan here" followed by a shot of beef stew on top of the fries
👳HEY DAVID! I HEARD THEY MAKE ICE CREAM AND CHEESES FROM HUMAN BREAST MILK IN BELGIUM! 🧀🍧AND I'M WONDERING, IS THAT TRUE?? THOSE FRENCH FRIES LOOKS DELICIOUS, DAVID!!! BEER AND GORMET FRIES WITH TOPPINGS AND SAUCES!!! MY KINDA EATIN!!!🍟🍅🌶🧀
Hard to find fries in America that are still fried in a beef fat/tallow as opposed to crappy seed oils. Sure not a healthy meal but certainly a "better for you" oil to fry in. Not to mention the texture and taste!!
Here no one does it with beef fat but that gives these fries that level of crispiness no one can replicate
The best food in Belgium is in small towns, not in the big cities in Belgium. + the price is mega expensive, they take advantage of the tourists. Try a simple, small community and eat something there. You will enjoy it twice as much! I live in West Flanders, the food here is delicious!
Nothing beats a poorly maintained semi permanent structure in a deprived area of Wallonia when it comes to the classic Belgian fries imo.
@@DenUitvreter indeed; nothing better than finding a remote Friterie after walking in the ardennes
@@baardagaam I've understood most Walloon friteries still use bintje potatoes, cut them 1 or 2 millimeter thicker than the Flemish, and fry them in beef tallow. The latter probably being the most important.
Belgium are the best in fries
Very informative, David.....
sidenote: where'd you get bluetooth microphone from?
finally someone who corrected french fries and saidd belgium fries instead
🍟😋👍
David girls love him who has no hair
I live in Brussels, and I have to say you chose your friteries well! Fritland's fries are awesome, La Friterie is a little too fancy for me, and l'Atelier is a discovery for me, can't wait to try it!
Next time, try a nice Viandelle with some sauce Dallas, that's a winner!
For me loading so much sauces on the fries a is Nono you might as eat sauces without fries.
You went to the most tourist friendly shops. You should go to a real “frituur”. Patatoes that arent even peeled are a no go in the traditional frituur
Davidsbeenhere Fritland is only for tourist ;) and i'm from Brussels ;)
We have over 250 different kinds of beer in Belgium.
1200
Well actually, fires were invented by frenches in the first half of the 19th century. Donut sellers started to deep Popatoes in oil. they were called "Pomme du Pont Neuf". It was thin potatoe slices cooked in "Saindou". Sold in front of theaters in paris, they became famous in the 1820s-30s. but potato slices weren't very efficient. While cooking, potato slices as a tendency to stick to each other so the Pomme du Pont neuf started to get cut un shape we know them today, in 1cm wide sticks. Less sticky and easier to eat. In 1844, A German called Jean-Frédéric Kreiger discoverd this Pomme du Pont Neuf and popularized them with the opening the first fries shop in Brussels called "Fritz".
The Americans during the war learned about fries when they were in the French speaking part of Belgium. They didn't know they were in Belgium so they assumed they were in France hence French fries. Now there are a lot of varieties between French, Belgian and Dutch fries so each is unique but they shouldn't be called French fries at all. It's Belgian.
I guess you are French? They didnt invent Belgian fries, they invented Pommes pont-neuf. It inspired us to make the fries everyone across the world eats now, those are quite different from those Parisian bricks though :p and of course we added double frying , in correct oil and correct temps. But nice you read the BBC article.
@@TrainwreckBxl
> read comment correctly
> be arrogant because you think you know everything
Pick one! smh
I'm not french btw
Haha you are correct bro, sorry was way too drunk 🤣I was afraid I did sth like this when i opened my CZcams today. Apologies, it wasnt me, it was that drunk me haha@@ReaZRapTor
My fav is home made. Wilja potatoes not too thickly cut. Fried in fresh corn oil till brown on the edges. Then served with cracked sea salt and cider vinegar.
If you want to go the extra mile - cut chips (fries) then pat dry. Put them in bowl or colander and shake with a clove of mashed garlic. Then fry.
Viva la Belgium 🇧🇪 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
As someone who is half Belgian thank you for showing the underwhelming reaction when you order something spicy in Belgium.
the best Belgian fries are HOME MADE fries , amen
The last one reminds me of Poutine
Finally a decent video after dozens of useless and boring "long documentaries". I just put a like too!
The last 3-4 videos have not been docs, I released several videos from the Amazon jungle not sure if you had a chance to see it. That said thank you for the support I really appreciate it.
Arsenal fans and Belgian national team supports, is it just me or does the guy at La Friterie look like Leandro Trossard?
my best bro david looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries 🍻
Il faut être fou pour aller de Miami En Belgique 😂😂
