A bottle of Corona with a slice of the moon? Corona and advertising Carmer-Krasselt have made a large billboard in New York City, where on certain nights in the month the crescent moon look like a slice of lime in a Corona bottle. Great campaign!
The ‘Pilot store’ opened last April at shopping mall Hoog Catharijne Utrecht. The ‘Pilot store’ is a temporary store where consumers can test products. When consumers order a sandwich they are asked to participate in a taste test. If they cooperate, they will get their sandwich for a reduced rate. Consumers aren’t required to cooperate with the test. Based on the results, the producer will improve the tested products before they will be available in the supermarket. Consumers can influence the products that will be available in the supermarket. The store will be open until July 13.
It happens to everyone.. you are too late because you were stuck in traffic. A new app that can prevent you from being too late. The ‘NeverLate’ app sends you a message, when you should leave for your appointment. The app has access to your agenda and calculates road constructions, accidents and any other unforeseen aspects to estimate the travel time.
Domino’s pizza is testing to deliver pizza’s via a helicopter drone ‘DomiCopter’. The ‘DomiCopter’ delivers the pizza in a heat wave bag to keep the pizza hot. The drone can travel hundreds of meters without refueling and is environmentally friendly. The ‘DomiCopter’ is created by drone specialist AeroSight, Big Communications and T+Biscuits. The ‘DomiCopter’ is a prototype but might be used more in the future.
Ice cream shop ‘eyescream and friends’ serves ice creams in a funny and visually appealing way. The ice cream (available in seven flavors) is served in a tray with two containers for toppings, like cookies, jams, chocolate sauce and caramel. Two sugar candy eyes are added for a creative twist and to bring the ice cream alive. There are pictures of little funny dolls to reflect the ice cream flavors. These characteristic ice creams are fun for children! The first ice cream shop was opened in Barcelona in September 2012 by Joad Lopez and Federico Mendoza.
Café ‘The Ground of Alexandria’ is located in an old pie factory from the early 1900’s in Sydney. ‘The Ground of Alexandria’ has a coffee research center and a garden with vegetables, fruit and herbs. In the coffee research center they experiment with different roasting profiles and techniques based on individual types of coffee and beans. Several classes are organized for people of all ages to learn more about the journey of coffee and food from seed to plate. A bakery is located in the café where they make fresh bread and sweet pastries every day. The café has an extensive coffee menu and serves a rustic menu of sustainable ingredients, mainly from their own garden. ‘The Ground of Alexandria’ is nominated for the ‘Restaurant and bar design award’.
On June 16 it is Father’s Day again. The steakhouse ‘Midtown Grill’ of the Marriott Hotel in Amsterdam organizes a nice photo shoot. Fathers with sons can take a picture in cooking clothes, surrounded by cooking utensils in the kitchen of Midtown Grill. They will pose with the famous dish of the restaurant, the sea salt grilled T-bone steak of 3.5 pounds. After the shoot they can eat the dish together.
On a regular basis we hear that the ideas we show at our website are too far from the daily reality of the restaurant or hotel entrepreneur. There is too little time to bring ideas, with your own twist, in practice. We recently visited Paris and at two restaurants we had the opportunity to enjoy one dessert for the whole table. A giant profiterole filled with ice-cream and topped with chocolate at Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie. Not a great dessert in looks but delicious chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. Based on the sharing part I made a ‘Meringue Peche Melba’ this weekend, fresh peach and raspberry combined with meringue and fresh strawberry sauce and ice-cream, for 4 persons on one plate. And if you prepare this dessert on the table, by breaking the gigantic meringue, your dessert becomes even more spectacular! This idea is based on the video of the dessert for the whole table of Alinea, Chicago. Watch the video once again on what they do with the chocolate ball! This is an example of how you can use ideas and make them your own, enjoy being creative! Your guest certainly will with a dessert like this! ^Marjolein
Just to show you how immense popular the éclairs are at the moment in France. In February we already reported about the savory eclairs being popular in Paris. This time we spotted them during the Rolland Garros French Open. French sportswear brand Lacoste celebrated its 80th anniversary during this tournament with limited-edition éclairs by French bakery Fauchon. More iconic French brands were invited to participate at the event and each came up with a unique product inspired the Lacoste crocodile logo.
PSFK placed great pictures of the new NY Library in Harlem where teenagers can interact, play video games, eat snacks, and hang out without having to worry about parents’ or elders’ eyes watching. Harlem’s Hamilton Grange branch is home to this full-floor 4,400-square-foot hangout space specially dedicated to teenagers. There only two librarians on watch from one end of the room. The space includes a 20-foot-diameter glass wall where they can play Wii and Guitar Hero available with special speakers preventing much of the noise from filtering out. The NY Public Library also provides summer readings for kids. Watch the movie for this hospitable gesture to kids. Getting the kids back into the library and sharing reading experience online.
