Sometimes you find a place that's really nothing special in terms of price or prestige, but which is still truly special for some other reason.
For me, tonight, that place is Shawarma Bar in Guldsmedegade in Aarhus. Probably the best in Jutland.
The concept is deceptively simple: Flatbreads cooked on site during the quiet parts of the day, spit built in the morning from proper meat, iceberg, tomato, and red onion chopped daily. In no way unique, but excellent quality.
The reason it's special is time. My first visit was shortly after they opened their doors in 1996. I've come by whenever I've been in town since, sometimes frequently, sometimes years apart. I must have had hundreds of their shawarmas over the years. Every one of them the same good quality and taste.
That's 30 years of doing one thing and doing it really well. You don't get that much these days.
