The streets of Karlovy Vary are currently filled with people more than ever before in the year. The International Film Festival attracts thousands of people every year. We went out with a camera to the sunlit colonnades to ask visitors and locals questions about (not only) the festival. And among them, we also met the actor, host, and gastronomy critic Lukáš Hejlík.
Lukáš Hejlík is known for his acting career and for his project Gastromapa Lukáš Hejlíka, where he reviews various establishments - from restaurants and buffets to cafes. You can download it as a mobile app, and even a book Gastromapa 365 was published.
The festival in Vary is not just about films. Of course, it is also connected with good food and drink, so we could not omit this topic in the interview with Lukáš Hejlík
We caught up with Lukáš and his family. As he later revealed to us, he goes to Vary with his closest ones every year.
"We are here on a family vacation. It's our annual tradition," he said.
Are you going to Vary and want a tip for a good burger? We might have one for you.
"Today I am planning to inspect Špunt a Knoflík after a long time, which is a kind of legendary burger place. I haven't been there for nine years, so I want to check it out again,"
answers the question of what he is going to eat.
Lukáš Hejlík was in Vary even a week ago - however, he was working. Occasionally, his social networks are boiling - recently, he was accused of being paid for reviews by the KVIFF production. Hejlík revealed that the festival production only paid him for accommodation. However, he had to pay for a second room for the cameraman out of his own pocket.
"I was here one week ago shooting, where to eat and drink during the festival, so I’m gradually posting. I favour craft beer, but I guess I’ll cope here with the spring too,"
says with a smile.
