I saw these on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern but he got it at a cart in a park (Normafa). I can't find any info on where to find these in Budapest or where to specifically find the cart in the park. Should I just ask the concierge at our hotel or does anyone have any more specific info on anywhere in Budapest to find these?

I've only ever seen them from street vendors, understandably sold in colder weather, as they are cooked on cylinders over an open charcoal fire. Open-air markets will usually have a vendor, as will parks. Look for a cart near the zoo, behind Heroes' Square and the Széchenyi Baths.

There is a shop that sells them on Castle Hill. It's right along the road between the palace and Matthias Church, near the grocery store. They have a window opening out to the street where they sell the Kürtöskalács and you can get sandwiches inside. If you are at West Station, there is also a place that sells them in the semi-underground shopping center. I also saw plenty at temporary stands, but those are the two permanent ones I remember from earlier this summer.

Wow. That's pretty exciting since we're staying at the Hilton Budapest which is right next to the Matthias Church! Thanks HK!
