THE MITITEI
A popular story claims that the Mititei were invented in the late 19th century by Iordache Ionescu, a cook working in one of the many busy pubs in the Lipscani district of Bucharest. According to the legend, Ionescu was famous for his fresh sausages, but during a particularly busy day he ran out of casing and the idea of placing only the filling of the sausage on the grill came to him. The improvised new dish proved an instant hit and their popularity continued to grow ever since. The famous nearby restaurant Caru' cu Bere is also sometimes given as the birthplace of the Mititei.
