Domaćin

(Place, tavern, firm, Yugoslavia)

A restaurant, actually two, in the street connecting Lesnina and downtown. The larger one, right across Stana's former vet station (she had a partner and, as usual, broke up and asked to be paid out), is a nice place with a yard-cum-terrace, in standard fake peasant style. Inside is a bit more modern, has a few shelves with real books for decoration. Good food, czech beer and not too loud. Lots of takeout orders, and their little pickup car buzzes around.

The other one, maybe 200m closer to downtown, is a fast food and bar joint, much smaller. That smaller one maybe closed in 2021, didn't check.

The big one also didn't fare too well, the menu was shortened... corona, fuckit. And the choice of beers got reduced too.

Then it got worse. The recipe for „The bečkerek* secret“ remained a secret(... 14 words...) because the cook who invented it was replaced with a cheaper one at least thrice. Don't have even the classic gravče na tavče, last time when Marinko and I sat there, apart from barbecue they had only a warmed up gulaš. The catering is also gone, we used to see a dozen bags with styrofoam boxes being distributed per evening, this time none. This was in september 2021.

*Bečkerek is the old name of Zrenjanin, lowercase here because it's an adjective, v. Notes
