EDINBURGH: The Quest Express is packing bags for the next city (can you guess where we're going?). But first, we have one more guest from Edinburgh to talk about food & travels. Attila is a Hungarian expat and passionate chef working for a governmental institution in Edinburgh.
Inside this episode, the inside scoop on:
