Maoz

Last time I ate at a Maoz was August 22, 2005. I turned 25 that day in London, took a two-hour flight to Barcelona and then a short cab side to a busy pedestrian courtyard, the driver going straight into the middle of the crowd and dropping us off with a vague gesture in the direction of the street we had mentioned. We eventually found our little apartment and then went in search of cheap birthday food. We quickly found Maoz, a stylish Dutch falafel chain with all-you-can-stuff vegetarian toppings.

Turns out there is a Maoz a couple blocks from our condo and the toppings are as good as we remembered them.
