Marrakech, Morocco

Jemaa el-Fnaa square transforms into the world's largest open-air restaurant every night — over 100 food stalls serving harira soup, snail broth, merguez sausages, and lamb tangia slow-cooked in underground ovens. The smoke, the shouting vendors, the communal bench seating — it's dinner theater where the food is the show. UNESCO designated the square as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage. The tangia alone, cooked for 8 hours in a hammam's ember pit, embarrasses most braised dishes in Michelin kitchens.
