TrendEngel Award 2014 – Best Restaurant – Baco Mercat
This is the star of the year: Baco Mercat in downton Los Angeles has the most interesting food of the moment. Josef Centero has invented the Baco – a kind of mixture of Taco and Gyros with a Guatemalan twist. 
The original Baco has pork belly, carintas and a lot of secret ingredients in it. Just a delight. Don’t be afraid and drive to downtown Los Angeles. The epicenter of food at the moment.

Now they have almost 300 brew dogs on staff and produce Punk IPA – probably the best widely available IPA in the world. Get one…or two or…
Big Buff Smoked BBQ – Contender for the Best BBQ Outside of the US – Berlin
So far TrendEngel’s favorite BBQ outside the US was Pit Cue in London. But now there is a new kid on the block and believe it or not it is in Berlin in the famous Markthalle 9 in the middle of beautiful amazing Kreuzberg. Big Buff Smoked BBQ is all you want in a BBQ. Pulled pork, pork belly, as a sandwich or on a plate with an unbelievable steak sauce and marvelous spices. Every Thursday to Saturday as long as the meat lasts. This is heaven for meat lovers.
Mustafa’s Gemüsekebap – DER beste Kebap
Berlin is the world capital of the Kebap and the best Kebap in Berlin is one where meat is not the key. The Gemüsekebap (vegetarian kebab) at Mustafa’s on Mehringerdamm is a legend. People stand in line for an hour without hesitation at any given time of the day. The star is the combination of caramelized eggplants, peppers, cheese, spices and lots more. This has to be experienced to believe it. And if you really want it you can have the Gemüsekebap with meat as well. Perfect.
La Soupe Poulaire – Tim Raue goes Bienenstich
Berlin is ubercool – that much we all know. But the Restaurant La Soupe Populaire by German star chef Tim Raue beats them all. Located in an old abandoned factory this is almost too good to be true. German classics revisited is the concept. The prices are reasonable and the interior design soooo amazing. The absolute favorite of TrendEngel is Bienenstich. Spongy pastry filled with custard – the kind you would buy in Germany in any bakery for the last 50 years. But don’t be fooled. This is different. The only thing I am saying is: apricot ice cream…
