This is the only typical Czech street food that costs as little as one euro and it is called
0:05
chlebíček and we absolutely love it and today we're going to show you the cheapest versions
0:10
and the fanciest most expensive versions. And I can smell truffles man. This is the best chlebíček
0:20
I had today. Now what actually is a chlebíček? Well first of all it is really a Czech invention
0:26
and when you come to Prague, people will tell you, you gotta try the Czech goulash
0:30
Well, that's from Hungary. This is Czech. It was invented by a guy called Paukrt
0:34
and his friend was telling him, make something in between a baguette
0:39
and between like a cocktail bite. I don't want something small, but I don't want something too big
0:44
This is perfect. This is a two, three bite sandwich and we love them
0:49
So let's hunt the best ones in downtown Prague so you can try them when you come here
0:56
This is a hot sauce. I wouldn't have to buy it from a moment
1:02
It's really crazy. I don't want anyone to get it. Two cheese. 49.90
1:10
They don't look good at all. But for the purpose of this video, we're going to buy it
1:21
The cheapest cheese we could find in Prague is actually here on the main Wenceslas Square
1:25
last square. Well, not literally on the square, but below it. There's a local supermarket where you
1:30
can buy this duo of chlebicek for 49.90, which comes down to two euros. They don't look the best
1:38
Also, Honza doesn't eat eggs, so we're going to remove the egg from one of those
1:42
But I mean, you know, euro per piece. Hard to beat that. Let's sample it
1:50
The egg tastes good. The bread is very soft, which I like. There's a potato salad, a tiny
1:55
piece of cucumber and a ham. All in all actually not bad. Like with the packaging is like I don't
2:05
want that but biting into it is good. It's cheaper than a cheeseburger at McDonald's
2:12
The expectations were much much lower than the final taste so I'm giving this a thumbs up
2:18
So Yannick is usually the lover of everything and the hater So if you looking for like the harsh critic that me Cheers But first remove the egg Ah it still inside
2:37
This you said is good? No. I'll give him another one. Okay, I have to disagree with Yannick
2:45
I don't think this is good. Like, it's okay. But you can see that the bread is a little bit like old
2:53
The layer of potato salad is very thin. It shouldn't be. It should be like, you know, a huge portion on it
3:01
I would suggest let's go find a different place. It was one euro, man
3:06
What do you expect? The price is good. Price is good. I absolutely get it
3:11
But no, you can do better. You can do better, guys. This was the cheapest one
3:16
Let's try something fancier. I don't want to throw it away, but I don't want to finish it
3:22
Like, I'm torn. What's to do? Oh, boy. This, boys and girls, is a place called the Golden Cross
3:32
An absolute must-visit if you want to have a chlebicek in Prague. They are slightly more expensive, obviously, because we're in a cool place
3:39
So there are 20 crowns more per piece. Hansa got the same one as he had before, except no egg
3:45
and I got a roast beef because I'm going fancier this time
3:49
This place has a lot of chlebíčky and also different salads. So let's sample it
3:54
They are not only more expensive, but also heavier and larger, which kind of makes sense
4:00
Dig in. I mean, everything's good. I got a different kind of chlebíček
4:05
I didn't have the potato salad base, so it's only butter, roast beef, some onion
4:11
It's great. even though I was expecting the step from the underground supermarket to the Golden Cross to be bigger
4:20
It is still a step to better quality, but not a giant leap. I mean, so it's still the best thing you can get in Prague in terms of like food
4:28
Don't get me wrong. We're not showing you bad stuff. Yes, I went to buy another chlebicek so I can be fair in the sampling
4:35
What is the salad? The salad which is the potato salad which is like the base of the sandwich of the chlebicek is better here It has more flavors You can taste the different things that are in it So let go Mmm
4:56
That's good. I have to disagree with Yannick once again. I think this is really good
5:02
Like, a huge step up from the previous one. And the taste of the salad is just right here
5:09
That's how it should taste. That potato salad before was like AI-created
5:15
It was okay, but we don't do okay here. Yeah, only the best
5:20
The main reason we're featuring this place on this episode is that it's very important for the locals
5:25
If you would ask anyone, my dad, my mom, hey, where should I go have a chlebíček in downtown Prague
5:31
they would say Zlatý Krzyš, Golden Cross. I'm actually surprised this place is not as popular among tourists
5:38
as it deserves to be. And now let's go fancy. We're in a place that was featured and mentioned on the New York Times
5:52
This stuff is pricey. This little chlebichek, this bad boy, is more than 10 cents more expensive than
6:00
the previous one. So we're talking fancy here. This place is called Sisters. Their chlebichek
6:05
are amazing looking. They have some sweet stuff as well. Their location on the Gloha Street
6:12
which is more downtown than this one, it's actually more popular. This one is kind of hidden here
6:16
so we'll link the map in the description so you can find this place
6:20
but we're here to sample chlebíčky, so let's do it. We got the ham one, we got salmon, and we got pepperoni
6:29
Taste-wise, it's definitely the most significant. I don't know if it's worth the three crowns
6:35
but the extra piece of ham is... The ham is different here
6:40
Much better flavor from my point of view. I like it. I think the mix is good
6:47
Apart from the first one, like this I want to finish. That's okay
6:51
And now the one with the pepperoni, which I'm very much looking forward to
6:55
Let's see. Why the entire time we're eating the regular potato salad ham chlebíček when we can be enjoying
7:03
this delicious, oh my God, it's so good. This is the best chlebíček I had today
7:10
I the best one for the most I not gonna lie Yannick hype is real so let try Now I really happy that me and Yannick can finally agree on something
7:24
This is good. No, no, no, it's amazing. And now for the most expensive chlebíček we could find in Prague
7:33
This little boy is 2.6 euros, meaning the stuff on the egg better be caviar
7:40
and I can smell truffles man. Now in all honesty, I thought it was gonna be dry
7:51
because you don't know what's under the salmon and there is a very good spread under the salmon
7:57
It tastes very good. It's delicious and there's a lot of salmon. I mean, that's a thick piece
8:05
I love it. I hope people can feel from this video that I really do love Chlebíčky and that I really hate Stredelník
8:12
And the fact that there's not a single tourist in this place is like, what the
8:18
You fly across the entire globe and then you're like, oh, Starbucks
8:24
One more place that is very popular for Chlebíčky is called Libeské lahoutky
8:28
It's a big chain, so you'll see many of those around the city and they're very good
8:32
good but today we were hunting the cheapest one the most traditional one and the most expensive
8:37
one now price wise the difference was very little quality wise and area wise i think sisters was
8:45
really the best i had them saved in my memory as something really expensive but it is not it's only
8:51
couple crowns more but it's very very good you'll find the sisters bistro and all the other places
8:56
in a map that we will attach and there's also one of their locations on the popular party street
9:02
So if you find yourself partying on that street, you'll find sisters chlebíčky as well
9:07
So if you're coming to the Czech Republic, have a chlebí Czech
9:12
It is the only original Czech invention in terms of food. This was the Honest Guides, Honza and Janek
9:21
And we'll see you next week, either here in Prague or on our channel. And at the end of every episode, I teach Czech word
9:28
This time it's how to say Golden Cross because the place we visited for Chlebíčky is called Golden Cross
9:33
In Czech it's Zlatý Kříž. Zlatý Golden Kříž. Cross. Zlatý Kříž. Golden Cross
