We go to New York quite easily from Belgium… How? By eating American specialties here and there. A short tour of 5 dishes that are fun.
Pastrami Waffle at Picard
The brand strikes once again with a limited edition collection of 100% American products as we love them, for all tastes and desires. From the decadent “pastrami waffle”, to the ultra-gourmet veggie burger, to corn-dogs (US fairground classics), to the comforting grilled cheese and the colorful vanilla confetti cake, Picard has it all covered. to please lovers of travel and delicacies!

Lobster Roll at Joli Jam
The brand new restaurant at the Hotel Jam in Brussels has had a facelift in terms of its decoration, but also its menu! On the program, therefore, American deli-food classics, from north to south, with in particular an incredible lobster roll whose soft bread is homemade, every day. We will also let ourselves be tempted by a platter of oysters as we would do in Manhattan, or by a cream cheese and avocado bagel.

Fried chicken at Hector Chicken
Americans are fond of frying, it’s no secret! Especially when it comes to fried chicken! Without having to cross the Atlantic to enjoy it, we grab a table at Hector Chicken, specialist in roast and fried chicken. We especially love the crispy wings, breaded in spiced breadcrumbs just before cooking. The secret for a fried pouelt that is both tender and crispy, as we eat it in the USA.

Le burger bacon de Be Burger
What better symbol of American cuisine than the burger? And for that, we go to Be Burger! The well-established brand in Brussels and its surroundings offers gourmet burgers, which melt fans of this product so typical in the USA. The burger New York makes it good with its melting cheddar, its barbecue sauce and especially its crispy bacon.
