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

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.

You have to do more videos from Belgium, try the waffles, beer, mousses, chocolate etc

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.

Every item looks delicious, Hallelujah, you make my mouth water! 👍🥰👏

Wow! Amazing video! Loving the new editing style David! :)

Finnaly someone who goes to Belgium i have never seen it before on yt (Thanks for comming to my countryyy)

That last lady serving you was absolutely gorgeous Definitely great episode

Wow awesome country and beautiful architects food looks so good awesome video David ❤

Such a warm welcome from the man working at La Friterie, great to see the enthusiasm ❤

Belgium is one of my favorite countries...fries+chocolate mean they really know something about life! And the Flemish art is astonishing!

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 !!!!✌🍟

amazing David!!!

Fritland is my absolute favourite! ❤🍟🍟 I usually only go when I have visitors but every time I decide I should go more often 😁

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?

Belgium is amazing I love the fries and beer,frites with andalouse is my go to 😊 The Flanders province is good to visit also

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!!!

truly epic! Love belgium!

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.

hello! love watching your videos

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.

They be “Cooking up a Storm” right over there… Glad, yourself enjoyed every bite… 😂🍽

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))

the 3rd chip shop u went in is the same i went in when i went lol

Those fries with that stew gravy on top and the beer I want for my last meal 😂 that looks so good and tasty

Well David, you are all over. Thanks for sharing. Be careful with eating too many fried foods. Lol.😊

I think, you enjoyed your trip in my tiny country 😂😂I loved it 👌👍 greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪

The vybe in 2nd shop is more personable. They guy knows his industry and that is what will make me enjoy the experience

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! 🙏🏼

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. :)

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!

Thank you.

Was that your first day in Belgium?Also, i am very excited for this series.

Oui, les frites Belges sont très bonnes!

what you do is mix the stew and fries with lots of mayonaise. Im from Belgium Ghent

Whell next time you visit Leuven or Belgium, hit me up I’ll show you around the county.

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’!

Brilliant mr Hoffmann! The man himself, awesome! 💪🏆❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤bye❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Them french fries looks smashingly good 👍😁

Im watching this cuz tommorow morning ill go to Brussels jaaa

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

Oh man, if I knew you were here I would have showed you around some.

Wonderfull

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

We love you in Belgium🔥mr Hoffmann!!!!!!¡

FRITLAND is Getting FREE ADS FROM YOUR BLOGS😂😂😂❤

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.

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.🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🇹🇹

Hope you’ve tried Belgian waffles too

That's A LOT of fries man! I needed to take a break after this trip was over 🍟😅

Floris one of the good - best Cocolade Beer!

Definitely the best. I like to say you haven't had real fries until you've eaten Belgian Fries :)

the guy from "la friterie" is a goat

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

Finally new video.

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 .

Bruxelles ma belle, my sweet hometown.

Next time try Chouke

And the most important thing. Eat the flemish beefstew with a big chunk of mayonaise on top. Best thing in the world.

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.

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!

Great for soaking up all that belgian beer.(frites)

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!

You have to eat the fries with stoofvlees thats how we eat it in belgium.

look unreal

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!!

Viva la Belgium 🇧🇪 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

Very informative, David..... sidenote: where'd you get bluetooth microphone from?

🍟😋👍

Fritland has good original fries. For the rest, these are fries shops that give a (too) modern twist to it and they are over any normal fries size (too thick). Normally the fried potato should taste so good that you do not need any sauce with it. The best french fries in Brussels you will eat at Place Helmet (the man with the cart) at Place Dumont ( the kiosk near the building of the European community). There are very good fries to be found in many small local towns. For example at Gégés near the church in 1210 Neder-over-Heembeek, den Trul in 3070 Bertem. All original fries. If you want, the Hamburger chains like Quick and McDonalds always have good fries and constant quality but these are the finest size. Some customers don't like that. Do you know what pommes allumettes are? In more expensive restaurants they serve very very fine fries...pommes allumettes like matches. Try also the sauces from Bosteels. Normally a good original Fries vendor sits in a half greacy baraque. The taste will make all good. Bon appetit !

👳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!!!🍟🍅🌶🧀

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".

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.

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

For me loading so much sauces on the fries a is Nono you might as eat sauces without fries.

finally someone who corrected french fries and saidd belgium fries instead

David girls love him who has no hair

Brasil sauce is the best

We have over 250 different kinds of beer in Belgium.

Belgium are the best in fries

found it funny "can eat vegan here" followed by a shot of beef stew on top of the fries

Davidsbeenhere Fritland is only for tourist ;) and i'm from Brussels ;)

The best andalouse ever...😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shes so funny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ahh Albania 🇦🇱 everywhere

Finally a decent video after dozens of useless and boring "long documentaries". I just put a like too!

As someone who is half Belgian thank you for showing the underwhelming reaction when you order something spicy in Belgium.

sauce brazil mooonstreee

Sorry, beef fat is the traditional fat to make fries in Belgium ! There are sunflower oil mixtures that are lighter but nothing like the smell of the beef fat to feel at home.

my best bro david looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries 🍻

Best fries in the world. You lost me by drinking Stella.

Stella is so much better in Belgium than it is in the UK too totally different

Yes in Flanders regions is it the most boring regions on earth bcs the life situations are changed

The last one reminds me of Poutine

Arsenal fans and Belgian national team supports, is it just me or does the guy at La Friterie look like Leandro Trossard?

Il faut être fou pour aller de Miami En Belgique 😂😂

I have not eaten frites like that. I have mayonnaise. Not that fancy stuff. Those frites look like you'd get at the touristy places.
