Le Deu' Falafel: Parisians do Israeli food right

So my trip to Paris was filled with great food...just not your typical french cuisine. I was directed to the Jewish Ghetto of Paris by friends of mine who were studying there. They told me it was the home to the best falafel in the world. Naturally, I was skeptical (as a self-proclaimed falafel connoisseur) so I had to go and try them myself. We waited in a long line out the door where a very obvious Israeli man took my order and got me on my way in under 15 seconds. I got to the front window where the staff were doing parlor tricks, flipping the falafel in the air and catching them in the pita. They fill the pocket with all the goodies and gave it right to me fresh. I must admit, it put other falafel, even some from Israel, to shame.


It was moist yet full of flavor. I ruined my appetite for dinner at a nice restaurant to enjoy the love I received from this sandwich. As you can tell from the picture it was quite a delicious snack.
