About
A uniquely Czech fast-food obsession — a thick slice of Edam or Hermelín cheese (Czech Camembert) crumbed in breadcrumbs and deep-fried golden, served with tartare sauce and fries. Found everywhere from McDonald's to fine restaurants, smažený sýr is adored by Czechs of all ages. The Hermelín version (whole soft cheese, marinated in oil and garlic, then fried) is the gourmet upgrade worth seeking out.
