[Music]

[Music]
good morning roots fam it is another
beautiful day in bucharest and today we
are going to be going on a little food
tour around bucharest immersing
ourselves in the food scene here we're
going to be starting at a traditional
romanian bakery head over to a couple
different traditional romanian
restaurants for lunch and dinner capri's
ready to go she's hungry i just got my
workout in we saw this crazy lady and
she's just like
yeah we're gonna get the day started
guys stick with us like subscribe and
yeah it should be fun
all right guys so here's the first thing
that we got um it's like a traditional
romanian
pretzel which i believe is called a
corviki correct me if i'm wrong i'm
gonna butcher these names but yeah it's
like a romanian pretzel with sesame
seeds looks good
it's like a bagel and a pretzel mix
it's really good
is not
you love it
the other
two things we got are like pretzels with
sausage and ham and cheese
it's like pigs in a blanket
it's so good this is like nostalgia
right here
this is good guys the dough is like
sweet a little chewy
and it's got a nice smokiness to it from
the sausage inside it's really really
good this one is stuffed with ham and
mozzarella and then some spices so
let's try it
this is so good is it better than the
other one
i don't know they're both so good
it's better than the other one
you can see the cheese in there guys the
mozzarella the ham
it's like a perfect little
pick-me-up snack so good and all of this
costs less than four dollars
uh
what's the name of this place babe i'm
going to butcher the name but i think
it's pronounced
every day that we've walked by this
place it's jammed packed so i didn't
even know that this is the place that i
had on my list to go to but it seems
very popular the food looks really
really good so we're excited it's really
cool in here guys everything we saw
online and our research about coming
here was that it's the little paris it's
it's it's pretty crazy in here it's
really old architecture is just crazy i
mean where do you get this in the united
states you don't get this type of
architecture where you go into a
restaurant this is just ingrained in
history and culture the details in this
place guys i mean
it's pretty crazy the chandeliers the
the paintings even on the walls i think
those are the authentic paintings
because you can kind of see the brush
strokes on the wall but
everything in here is beautiful i mean
you have to come here for yourself and
see it it's amazing are you so hungry
baby but they got this brand new high
chair for us guys the guy just literally
popped it out of the plastic when i
asked for a high chair and it's
it's big man she loves it it's got the
big tray table so we can eat all our
food that we're about to order we're
about to go ham on the food guys so we
ordered some traditional romanian
meatballs
and i've been dying to try this bread
bowl they have them back home it's like
a bread bowl of soup in it but the ones
here are massive so we're gonna get that
and it's like a bean pork type of soup
and then we're also gonna try polenta
i've never had it but i guess it's
grated parmesan cheese sour cream and
fried egg kind of mixed together so
we'll see how that tastes but it's very
popular dish here we might get dessert
if we're not stuffed everyone says to
try the papanos but they say try it at
different places because each place
makes it differently it could be either
fried dough or steamed dough so
we might try that yeah and we might get
street dessert i don't know yet we're
still deciding
we got this sea buckthorn lemonade it
tastes kind of like um
citrusy but the sparkling water gives a
little bit of tang to it too it doesn't
taste like lemonade though kind of
tastes like orange juice and sparkling
water mixed together
it's different but it's good
let's get a piece of this bread part
soaked in with the soup
[Music]
that's good you can definitely take
taste the pork
in the beans
i think they put parsley on top but it's
very flavorful
it's very good
[Music]
okay here's the meatball
[Music]
very good
very flavorful so good guys all right
let's try the polenta
get a little bit of the yolk
and the cheese
all right
[Music]
that's really good it's nothing like
i've ever had before i was not expecting
that it's like um
like a cheesy
corn
i don't know think of like cornbread
that's what it's like but more soft and
moist and
the cheese and the egg yolk very good
though
[Applause]
[Music]
we were gonna let capri play in this
park here in the central part of
bucharest but
um
there's a lot of bird poop
everywhere let me show you the burpee
it's speckled like snow
all through the entire
park the birds are in the trees above us
and you see their butts and they just
poop down and it's all over the slides
and all the kids lay areas and we don't
want capri just running around touching
that stuff and now she's mad i'm sorry
baby
i'm sorry
we tried
does we get points for that at least
we'll find another one
other than that guys it's a
it's a pretty cool park
it's got a nice lake in the middle and a
bunch of street vendors selling
drinks and ice cream there's a few
restaurants
yeah i just felt something hit me on my
arm so
yeah it's uh
yeah man they're they're peppering
people like this war out here
there seems to be a park through this
gate behind me but it looks kind of like
graffiti up a little bit and
but still nicer than the other one it's
open with sun and the trees or the birds
don't poop on all the kids equipment but
looks like it's closed or
just encaged off i don't know so we
can't really
go there either
we didn't want capri to see it so i
walked over there by myself because if
she sees it she wants to get out and
play and i don't want her to cry anymore
and be upset we're probably going to let
her take a nap and go back to our place
before we do our dinner food tour and
get some more street food
[Music]
all right guys so what do we think of
the park
it is really nice there's a ton of trees
so you're completely shaded all walking
throughout the park there are literally
rows and rows and rows of seating so we
see a lot of people that are just
reading their books or eating or just
gathering there with other people
there's also a restaurant in the center
there so if you want to eat at the park
you can do that it's beautiful the lake
is beautiful people have like little row
boats that they go out there with i like
it it's very it's cute
guys
this is the elevator
it's freaking sketchy look at this
my god
this thing is sketchy but
i'd rather go in it because it's six
flights all the way to the top and we're
being quiet because that old lady she's
less she's listening
[Music]
oh god guys
oh this is what i have to do guys
to get in the elevator oh you guys can
sleep
oh god
all right alyssa in capria next
[Music]
we are at this place called restaurant
vatra for dinner and we ordered grilled
meat potter here with some steak fries
grilled vegetables and stuffed cabbage
rolls with mashed potatoes so let's try
this stuffed cabbage roll first
with a little bit of the mashed potatoes
looks very tender
that's so good guys that is so good
so tender flavorful it's got like a
tomatoey taste with some grilled onion
mixed with beef and pork

pork i believe but it's so
freaking good
