Berlin's Best Flatbread Bike - His Wife's Legacy | Street Food Berlin Germany
A 71-year-old chef has been baking Flammkuchen (Alsatian flatbread) on a bicycle since 2008, offering a unique take on this "German-French pizza" at Berlin street food markets—a highlight we’re excited to showcase in this new episode of "Street Food in Berlin." Alongside the classic version with bacon and onions, the absolute best-sellers include varieties topped with goat cheese, pear, walnut, and honey; blood sausage, apple, and onion; and chorizo with sheep's cheese—plus a daily special—all handmade using fresh ingredients. At 71, trained chef Michael Möding is a true one-of-a-kind figure in Berlin’s street food scene; he pours his heart and soul into the business, honoring the memory of his wife, who originally came up with the idea. It is wonderful that such authentic gems still exist.
