David McDonald and Adam Grant wanted to serve sandwiches from the 7th floor of a building, one of the reasons was the lack of affordable retail spaces on street level. They chose to use parachutes and started the Jafflechute company. The customers have to pay via a smartphone and can pick-up their order at a mark near the building.
Ice cream parlor Luciano in Wassenaar, the Netherlands, reopened its doors on March 7 after a major refurbishment. The ice cream parlor of Master gelato maker Luc Block and his wife Angelique is five times larger and has a new style. The interior is peaceful with a white and concrete look and two large walls are decorated with art works of designer Marijntje Teeuwen. The ice cream parlor has an espresso bar and a large ice cream laboratory. Inspiration for the new style was gained from ice cream parlors in eight Italian cities. Luciano was Ice cream parlor of the year in 2006 and 2012 and is also nominated this year.
Fries shop Bram Ladage has opened a new location in Rijswijk, the Netherlands. This was also the start of the new formula style of the famous Dutch fries shop chain. A style that matches the method and the story of Bram Ladage. Bram Ladage emphazises the origin, authenticity and the story of the potato from the ground to the fresh fries. However, the current stores didn’t radiate that feeling yet. No snack bar, cafeteria or fast food restaurant, but the new formula style radiates where Bram Ladage stands for: traditional, authentic and pure. A shop where they do something great with potato’s.
Sushi chef Hironori Ikeno makes the smallest sushi in the world, so small that it fits on a grain of rice. The mini sushi looks exactly like a regular sushi and it took the sushi chef years to make the perfect replica. Each sushi weights about 1 gram and it takes five minutes to prepare the sushi. Very long compared to a normal sushi that takes less than one minute. According to guests of the restaurant the mini sushi has a lot of flavor. The mini-sushi originated years ago as a joke when Hironori Ikeno served a mini sushi to a customer.
During the Valentine dinner Mambo Beachclub served a very special dessert on the table, accompanied with Prosecco and three different love potions. An original way to serve desserts, we’ve seen it before but it’s still rare. Check the video.
How will we order our pizza in the future? Perhaps by creating your own pizza through a touchscreen table. The Pizza Hut collaborated with Chaotic Moon Studios and they launched a movie about an interactive concept table that could be the future of the Pizza Hut ordering and dining process.
Food Film Festival (FFF) organizes a lunch + movie, themed ‘Proefwerk’ on Friday May 9th. Proefwerk was the heading of the famous culinary critic Johannes van Dam for the newspaper Het Parool.

Chefs Iwan Driessen of Rijsel, Richard van Oostenbrugge of Bord’Eau and Michiel van Eerde of Bault will prepare a unique lunch together. The lunch is served in the pop-up restaurant of FFF at the Westergasfabriek (Amsterdam). By buying a golden ticket you support the FFF pop-up restaurant. The golden tickets cost € 80,= per person and are available via the site. The first golden tickets were sold last week for a lunch + movie by the Pourcel brothers (and still available!).
