With enough coffee I could rule the world!

Alright guys, those of you who know me are probably well aware of my biggest addiction: I'm a coffeeholic! The first thing I do in the morning is getting myself a good cup of strong coffee, I love meeting friends for coffee and my favorite place at University is the coffee vending machine.

While living in the United States I left quite an amount of money at one of the most famous coffee shops: Starbucks Coffee. In bigger cities like NYC there is a Starbucks at every corner and even in Raleigh, where I lived, you can't go by car for more than 10 minutes without driving past at least one Starbucks.

Now, half a year later, I just can't believe that we don't even have ONE single Starbucks here in Graz and I miss my "Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte" a lot.

Therefore you might understand how excited I was when I saw the green-white-black Starbucks label at Penny Markt a few weeks ago.

One of the so called "Seattle Lattes" costs about 1,70€ and although it's not the same as my "Skinny Vanilla Latte" I was on cloud nine.

Are there any other coffeeholics out there? If so you will definitely agree with me and Boromir:

More than McDonalds!

Hey guys,

as you all know we got a bunch of questions about food, restaurants, diets, vegetarianism - well, the list goes on forever. Since I couldn't decide which one I should blog about I simply combined the following two:

• What kinds of international cuisine do you like?
• What is your favorite restaurant and why?

I don't want to bore you with my favorite international cuisine too much but I have to say that I'm in love with burgers. No, not the disgusting, fatty burgers you get at McDonalds for 1€ - but the good ones, which you can get at one of my favorite American restaurants here in Graz: Granola.

Granola offers American as well as Austrian/German food and its address is Bahnhofgürtel 89, which is just opposite of the main railroad station in Graz. Their prices are just right (about 8€ for a burger + fries) and you really get something for your money.

You can go there for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks but also to get a good cup of coffee and enjoy one of their delicious cupcakes or cheesecakes.

 

Give it a try and let me know how you liked it. Until then: Enjoy your meal!! :)
