Sublimotion, Ibiza, a experience for all senses

17-6-2014

Journalist Teresa Machan had the opportunity to write an article for the Telegraph about her experiences while having dinner at Sublimotion. As she describes it, having dinner at the new restaurant of chef Paco Roncero (2 Michelin stars) is an experience for all your senses. The chef reacted to the question whether his ‘theatrical dinner’ really is the most expensive meal in the world, with the following statement, ‘Sublimotion is the cheapest life-changing experience anyone can have.’ We will have to start saving to experience this life changing dinner for € 1.500,= ourselves. The video gives a short introduction of Sublimotion.

Imagine all the possibilities if you can ad smell to your posts as restaurant. That’s mouthwatering marketing! This seems possible with the oPhone. Watch the video to get some idea of the possibilities. All though we think that it will take a couple of years before we all can use this feature as standard ;-).

Wine from a can

  • Winestar

A great wine from a can? It’s possible according to Winestar. Winestar® offers a range of premium French wines. We tried a couple at the office last Friday; a white, red and rosé wine from the Corbières wine region. We have some great wine fans at the office and they all had problems with the paradigm shift from bottle to can. But even they liked the wine. Oké, they still prefer champagne with their picnic but #Winestar is a great alternative. The can contains 187 ml wine. Great for in minibars or for airline catering, unbreakable and light.

Guide Lights might be handy in hotelrooms

11-6-2014

It looks as if these SnapRays Guidelights are designed for at home, but we think it might also be very useful in the hallways and the wet section of hotelrooms. With these LED lights it is a lot easier to find your way around the room to the bathroom or toilet.

Join the staff meal

10-6-2014

  • FG Restaurant

If you like to eat out early, it’s now possible to join the staff of FG Restaurant (restaurant Francois Geurts, 2 Michelin stars, Rotterdam) and FG Food Labs during their staff meal. From my own internship in another kitchen, I can still remember the fun of eating together. And especially for young people who are considering to start working in a restaurant, this is a nice opportunity to take a look. I have however reservations, recently I enjoyed a great diner at FG Food Labs and of course the staff meal is different… At both restaurants you have to be early, at FG Restaurant the staff meal is served from 17.00 to 18.00 and at FG Food Labs from 16.00 to 17.00. The staff meal is served at a reasonable rate and reservations are necessary. ^ Marjolein Spronsen

21C Museum hotels

5-6-2014

In the 21C Museum Hotels everything revolves around art and enjoying art since 2006. In addition, you can sleep and dine in the museums. There are now three separate locations in Louisville, Cincinnati and Bentonville. We actually saw it more often, the combination of art, sleeping and dining, but this chain emphasizes on their art exhibitions in their architecture and interior. Watch the bit long video from 2013 for more background information.
