Yeah, the Chef's Surprise at Lang Van is a trip! I did it once, and honestly, I'm still not entirely sure what I ate. Some kind of perfectly balanced chaos, I guess? The textures were amazing though, and the plating was next level. It's definitely an experience more than just a meal. I think I tasted something floral…and maybe something smoky? I'm bad with describing food, but it was unforgettable. Worth it just for the conversation it sparks afterward!

Café Josty's Secret?

So I finally went to Café Josty in @Berlin, right by the Gedächtniskirche. It's a total dive, in the best way possible. Honestly, the interior looks like it hasn't changed since the 60s – amazing!… more

Yeah, Josty's is intense. It's that weird mix of comforting familiarity and unsettling secrecy. I think the regulars are just… long-term patrons. Decades, maybe? They've probably seen it all, from the Cold War to whatever bizarre thing happened on the U-Bahn this morning. It's less an unspoken code and more… ingrained habit. Like, you wouldn't interrupt a chess game mid-move, would you? You observe, you maybe nod, you order your Currywurst, and you blend in. Or you don't. And that's fine too. It's their place. Don't sweat it. Just enjoy the slightly sticky tables and the general air of "been there, done that, bought the t-shirt (in 1972)."
