Trying TRADITIONAL CZECH FOOD, MASSIVE Pork Knuckle

[@yellowflash7793]

*"Salads.....We'll skip THAT line" LOL*

[@mser3232]

I bet he'll switch that song when his cholesterol is off the charts lol

[@loveislove2359]

Most people's top priority is networking. Mike: let's see what food do we have here.

[@Trinitymurder]

@high horse Haters always hate! I think he's a very down to earth guy and people like that. I would love to be his friend.

[@Trinitymurder]

high horse Well you could have talked to him then instead of observing and posting on the internet ... LAME.

[@Trinitymurder]

@high horse & if you did talked to him..I think its pretty sad for you to even make such remarks for him to see on social media.

[@loveislove2359]

@high horse he has friends, maybe just not in that event. Don't need to be so snarky.

[@SammyCee23]

I have not seen any indication of his behavior that suggests he is awkward or that he has no friends. You are an idiot.

[@AimaNideot]

Loved your vid as always. And I especially wanna say how much I appreciate how genuine and down to earth you are. Not asking for subscribers and likes on all your videos, but just enjoying what you do and being thankful. A true inspiration, thanks for sharing happiness.

[@alessiab376]

You are absoutely right !!

[@itsmissez4978]

I love that midnight train to Georgia was playing in the background

[@feedmeimei]

That pork knuckle is HUGE! Bring some back for us pls!!

[@503945158]

Can you please finish your ramen? You've been eating that for months.

[@feedmeimei]

Gertrude 😂😂😂

[@sasho888prm]

Yea, that bowl is endless. Eat some barbecue or something.

[@leeannselkowitz4049]

Czechoslovak here. The dumplings are called knedle (I'm spelling this phonetically in English) and they're like a steamed bread, perfect for mopping up sauce. If you are in the Czech republic or Slovakia in the future make sure to try Yalita, Yrtiniza (pork sausages), halushki (kind of like spaetzle), and kapusta (sauerkraut with caraway seeds and bacon.) *all spelling is the best I can do to make this readable in English and get the right general pronunciation. If you ever want to chat about Czechoslovak food give me a shout on fb. Love your channel!

[@quasarttl]

also tatarak, potato dumplings with sheep cheese (that's supposed to be official translation for halusky z bryndzou), for sure he needs to try tatra tea oh yea and some beer foods like pickled hermelin and drowners.

[@laurahoogsteden6542]

How about carp schnitzel? I really want to try it and I'm going to prague but I dont know where i can try it x

[@harleymay3388]

That castle was beautiful. And the food looked amazing

[@rebekkiej]

Was great meeting you at the Czech social awards, glad to see you ended up finding some good food after all😆

[@janellepillay946]

Mike's videos are the only videos I like before even watching the whole thing. You know you're in for good content, every time.

[@johannessugito1686]

The shop where you ate the bone marrow early in the morning, is called Nase Maso, which means Our Meat.

[@glorymanheretosleep]

What about the cafetaria? 2nd place?

[@aswler]

I would like to see a blogger not visiting that establishment. Too touristy and overpriced. The reason why the centre is not habitable for locals.

[@RobertSmith-jw7qx]

Man this is crazy. I used to live in an appartment down the street from that first place in Prague when i studied abroad, ate their almost every weekend. You the man Mikey Chen! Thanks for bringing me back.

I love the fact that you're doing it wholeheartedly because you have the passion for it so we all love and enjoy your videos and specially being a foodie like you I too watch them wholeheartedly! Thanks and love from India!

[@HannetonMonde]

Nice video Mike! Im from Czech Republic, currently living in Portugal and you made me miss czech food so much right now! 😀 but you forgot to try the best one - Svíčková (beef, dumplings,vegetable sauce, cranberries and cream). Hope you try it next time 😊

[@firestorm165]

That sounds brilliant, thanks for the tip!

[@zoeirenearmas9319]

When I watch your videos, I feel like I have a wonderful world to travel. I’m 16 and I’m very inspired by your positivity and good attitude about food and culture.

*Pork knuckle and beer is a winning combination*

[@saulgoodman2674]

Would drink around 20 beer at one evening welcome to Germany haha

Only if the beer is alcoholic. Not what Mikey ordered.

[@Ghastly_Grinner]

Czech Food Is awesome My family is czech but everyone who knew how to cook died before I was born so now that I'm an adult I am learning about my culinary heritage and its fuckign awesome!

[@4realdustin]

Making me very sentimental as I lived in Prague for two years in 2003-2005 and I miss it terribly, as much as I love it where I am now. The traditional stuff is great, and they didnt have all the steak and burgers when I lived there. Good luck in Seattle!

[@jeffreynerhood1096]

Mike, congratz on being nominated. Well done, Sir.

[@miztumuch]

Loving your background music with Ben! A little Aretha a little Badu. Good luck with everything!!!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Part of my roots go there. My late maternal great grandmother was born in Prague. That food looks so good. Cheers!

[@Sunflower-op2oc]

I love Prague!!! I grew up with those plum dumplings, but we had them topped with bread crumbs fried in butter and sprinkled with sugar, no sauce like in the video. OMG it’s sooo good!!! I’m craving them now!!

[@tonyves]

With breadcrumbs? My aunt, with whom i lived way back in Prague added sour cheese. Whatever, the dumplings have colonised my memory.

[@loveyourneighbor9354]

Beautiful architecture.

[@janedudynsky5067]

The way you described the foods makes anybody who's watching your video hungry again.

[@ctdenison4285]

Gorgeous castle and cathedral, beautiful light through the stain glass.

Are you going to Hungary or Germany soon Mikey? You'll love the food in either country. I've had food in Poland is awesome too! They have pirogies! 😋 😋

[@saulgoodman2674]

Go back to Germany come and visit me I will cook you some great German food✌🏼

[@zarennaangel1198]

@@K-Rex589 you've been eating the wrong German food then. Sauerbraten is delicious when prepared correctly.

[@tieuthuynhi]

You should'e gotten braised sauerkraut with those dumplings. The combination of savory, fatty pork with tangy, sweet sauerkraut and dumblings 👌👌👌

[@quasarttl]

yea that would be also traditional czech food compared to what he ate

[@janetseidlitz5976]

The Pacific Northwest is a nice spot for food. The flights to Asia will be shorter too. My family lives in Oregon, and we love it here. Welcome!

[@marilynalvarez9951]

I agree, Oregon is very pretty, I'm in California. Why is Mike moving to Seattle?

Mikey have you ever gone to germany? Like deep Bavaria. I can recommend a beautiful town in upper Franconia. You would love it there

[@MikeyChenX]

I will :)

[@gmplayz4353]

I was at the castle too. It’s best if you wait for the afternoon when all the soldiers do a march. The cathedral is a great sight too. Would recommend 100%

This part of the world gets such a bad food rep overseas so Goulash was a pleasant eye-opener for me in Central Europe. (Prague and Budapest particularly). So flavourful. (Also the fried cheese in Prague!)

[@lifepawsandhoofbeats4080]

lol it's heavy because it's supposed to stick to your ribs and keep you warm in the winter but oh so good, that snitzle especially looked good. Looking sharp in that suit Mike

[@sherryillk]

I LOVED Prosperity Dumpling when I went to NYU... I would walk to campus from my work study in the LES and would stop there to get dinner or a snack... So cheap! I recommended them to everyone who would visit NYC. I felt like a part of me died when I heard it closed down. I'm so glad to hear they've reopened.

[@eliasbartos5313]

Czech people feel for this video soo much 😩. The pork and the dumplings... all it’s missing is sauerkraut

[@Azlynnnnn]

Dumplings from germanic areas are dough balls that are boiled. cheap, flour and water.

How wonderful! You look great in a suit Mikey, that looked like a wonderful event and congratulations to you. I love that burger and bone marrow 😍 omg yum!

Cut up dumplings and fry in butter...lots of butter till crispy on the outside. And some eggs to the dumplings and scramble together ...heaven.

Great video as always Mike, all the food looked delicious! Just a side note, get a non-black suit. Black suits are only for funerals and black tie events. It's a very formal color. Dark blues and grays work for everything else, with a tie that isn't too flashy but still has personality. Sorry I wear a lot of suits, just trying to be helpful

[@dbowie3515]

[@dalebuckley8593]

Some German restaurants will deep fry the knuckle just before serving. This yields a more crispy skin, more like Asian roast pork.

[@asurajeff6316]

What an adventure!
