"Star" of Stuttgart

10 reasons why I love “Star Kebap & Pizza”!!!!! 

( but probably shouldn’t)


1. My first late night practice session in Stuttgart they re-opened after closing and gave me 2 litres of apple juice, and even tested if it was fizzy! I was very gracious and they blessed my onward journey 

( 50 seconds to my flat!)

2. I had my first time ( ...kebap) courtesy of “Star”. I know kebaps have a tough run in the UK, but over here they are at the pinnacle of the high end dining experience...

my first ♥

3. My first and only kebap ( spelt kebap, take note people) was handed to me through a glass screen as a joke...it was funny and I laughed :-)


4. They make the pizzas fresh in front of you, including rolling the dough and dolling them up, ovening them …. You get the idea?

5. Its always open, even on Sunday when everything is closed, and once 5pm comes, I mean EVERYTHING is closed….except you “Star”





6.  They put a WHOLE bag of mozzarella on a mozzarella pizza and its not a half ass brand, I can see from the counter :-) They will put anything you want on a pizza…

7. They have a pizza deal on Friday, all pizzas 3 euro.. I think I may need hypnotherapy…

8. Did I mention that they are cheap? Massive pizzas are 4 euro, see pizza deal on Fridays for discounts

i know, a crap picture, trust me its real' good

9. I was told by an actual Turkish person that the owner is a master kebap maker/builder/administrator thingy…

10. Its super super clean and they always play appropriate music.. ( cheesy euro pop etc etc )

11. they sell MASSIVE bottles of apple juice-yum…

ok game over people…ten was enough right?!!

OK, I sure I could go on, but I don’t want to sound obsessed  or anything of the sort. If you happen to be in the greater Stuttgart area (anyone…!?) and  want a pizza ( or indeed a kebap) go to “Star”. Its near my flat, don’t ask the street name, something straße…

i dont think they have a website either...

Dont Chop the Trees!

Yesterday the day came for work to commence on the Stuttgart hauptbahnhof extension...
 
and therefore, the the chopping of the trees...*



  


* well they tried to chop trees

and therefore the rebellion and uprising of the people of Stuttgart...I don't speak much German, but you can see the frustration in the faces of the people..



 
The protests have been going for the past few weeks and over the last 48 hours, things have been getting more and more ugly, with the police now using force to counter the resistance of the protesters. I went to the peaceful protest . along with every person I know in Stuttgart. to be present.   


 
excuse the quality of video peeps... :-)
 
On a lighter note, I have won a blogging award ( what? you ask, he cant even spell!!!)
(!!!)
Many thanks to Lettuce Head for putting me forward, much love :-)
