Charred lemon on pizza? | Round Table Pizza® Introduces the Charred Lemon Chicken Pizza
5-7-2021
The limited time pizza is part of a delicious new summer line-up including ‘Charred Lemon Chicken Wings’ and ‘Charred Lemon Chicken Salad’. Round Table’s new Limited Time Charred Lemon Chicken Pizza is masterly prepared with hand rolled dough, creamy lemon sauce, spinach, Round Table Pizza’s proprietary three cheese blend, garlic, lemon pepper grilled chicken, zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, charred lemon slices, shredded parmesan cheese, and green onions. Available now for dine-in, carryout and delivery. Valid at participating locations.
It sounds like a gourmet pizza with a great summer flavour! And we have spotted many pizza flavours over the years. Back in 2014 we made a list of 10 different pizza’s, with for example fresh truffle, fresh tuna, Tandoori spices or a breakfast pizza. The later I still make for special occasions. But the Charred Lemon Chicken Pizza is a new combination for us. Inspiration for other pizzeria’s? ^Marjolein

Mariposa Negra Bar in Barcelona | A new disruptive cocktail bar concept
16-6-2021
The first cocktail bar in the world to use 3D printing and laser printing technology recently opened in Barcelona, Spain. They take the word ‘artisan’ to another level, as they created almost everything in the bar by themselves, like the bar, back bar, tables, decorations, lamps, signs, plates, ceramic picks and more. They even have their own molding techniques to create their own ceramic glasses. Each drink has a really long process of preparation because many liqueurs, juices, bitters and other drinks are made by the bartenders. Thus creating cocktails with very unique and balanced flavours. The name and place are inspired by the mysterious fantasy world of Marina’s novel, written by the great Spanish writer, Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
A spot in Barcelona to visit if you’re a cocktail lover! It’s located in Plaça de les Olles, in the heart of the Born Quarter, a neighborhood known for its gastronomy, art and its streets full of life.

BARDEUM app by Museum Edutainment | Step inside the stories of a historical site
15-6-2021
With Museum Edutainment’s new mobile app BARDEUM: “don’t just see the sites; step inside their stories”, visitors can go beyond dry boring facts on tiny plaques at museums & historical sites and step inside educational & entertaining stories. Guided by the world’s best storytellers, users become part of intrigues, deceptions, and fascinating events of the past. The BARDEUM app by Museum Edutainment is free on iOS and Android. Experiences range between $3.99 and $4.99 per download.
Will these kind of mobile apps be the future of history? We really like the idea of walking around a memorial, a park or historic site and listening to stories from the past told by storytellers. Just think of all the beautiful stories one can write and tell about Amsterdam for example. And if told by influencers it might even be popular with very young people! The fact that you can download the app for free and only have to pay for the experiences is another great push to start listening to stories from the past.

The Ritz Paris Le Comptoir | La Boutique Gourmande by François Perret
4-6-2021
I must admit that I am a real Francophile, and reading the press releases about the opening of Ritz Paris Le Comptoir on the 7th of June, really made me want to go back to Paris! High on my to-do-list would be picking up a croissant or a square piece of cheesecake with wild strawberries at Le Comptoir! François Perret has reinvented the croissant in the new Ritz Paris Le Comptoir store, this boutique gourmande is located at 38 rue Cambon a few blocks from the entrance of the hotel on Place Vendôme. With only a few seats (5 tables), it is mainly a takeaway boutique where, in addition to its ‘reinvented’ croissants, you can order luxury sandwiches, ‘les boissons pâtissières’, madeleines and lots of viennoiserie to go.
So if you go to Paris this summer, treat yourself to a visit to the boutique and enjoy your delicacies in a Parisian park! ^Marjolein
