While we've filmed Off Menu, we've hit some cities you'd expect when it comes to good food: Chicago, Paris, New York, but others were a bit of a surprise. Like Amsterdam. It's always been one of my favorite places but I'd never had an amazing meal. So, when we hit the ground, I was excited to explore.
It's hard to pick favorites but one of my favorite spots was Worst Wijncafe. The place is all about cured meat but Chef Kees Elfringe loves veggies just as much. He totally excels at combining familiar flavors in simple but elegant ways that totally elevate them, like this Mixed Mushroom Toast with Parsley Salad.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the leek and carrot and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the leek is translucent then stir in the mushrooms and garlic, increase the heat to medium-high, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Cook the mushrooms, stirring rarely, until they're golden brown and soft and have let off most of their water, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley, stir to coat then remove from heat, cover and set aside for a few minutes. To serve, divide the mixture among the toasts, top with shavings of cheese, additional parsley, and a drizzle or olive oil and balsamic and serve.
