Rotterdam's own invention: shoarma layered on a tray of frites, melted Gouda cheese baked over the top, then finished with garlic sauce and a green salad. Invented at El Aviva in Delfshaven in 2003.
Where to eat it: 3 restaurants across 1 city.
Tip from the editors. Aged Gouda melts unevenly compared to young; mix half aged and half young (jong belegen) for the best stretch.
