Khachapuri and Churchkhela Among Best Street Foods

The owner of the American restaurants, Rose Previte has created the list, concerning the best street foods, according to Forbes.

After traveling in 30 countries, Rose has named Khachapuri and Churchkhela one of the best street foods. 

"The first time David and I went to Tbilisi, it was November and a little bit cool. A lot of the street vendors sell khachapuri and it's just amazing, with salty, sour cheese inside this beautiful warm bread. You could just pick one out of the window, hand them a few cents and walk on with it. That's how we saw Tbilisi for the first time: walking and eating khachapuri.", writes Rose. 

She also tasted Churchkhela while traveling in Georgia.

"Churchkhela is a signature Georgian roadside food that is so memorable. You'll find it as you drive on the highway into wine country from Tbilisi, which I've done seven times since my first trip. Older women line the road selling this candy that's pretty phallic looking. It's like grape juice around a walnut, so it's sweet but it's not overly sugary. It hardens and then you slice it. But it's seasonal: I first tried it in November, but I've gone back in summer and all I could find were tomatoes and cucumbers.", Rose noted.
