Culinary experience | Backstage at De Librije (***)
A unique behind-the-scenes look. In a private dining setting, your party becomes a part of De Librije. The chefs prepare their dishes right before your eyes, and you can even actively participate in making a dish. It’s a true culinary experience! We happened to have recently dined at De Librije and saw the space where you can enjoy the backstage experience. We highly recommend it! For more details, visit their website, link in the title, or check out the video below.
Limited edition burgers at THE BUTCHER
High-end burger bar THE BUTCHER recently announced the introduction of their extra special limited edition burgers. Since 2012, they have been known for their classics, but now they are offering completely new variations every so often. Until April 30th, you can enjoy ‘THE MIGHTY CHEESE’, a combination of bacon and cheese. In 2023, THE BUTCHER will have nine locations in Amsterdam, The Hague, Berlin, Ibiza, and Manchester.
McDonald’s location entirely made out of glass
McDonald’s has nearly 40,000 locations around the world, but some stand out for their unique design. One such location is in Batumi, Georgia, on the coast of the Black Sea. Constructed in 2013, the location features a modern look with a reflective glass exterior, glass stairwells, and minimal black and white decor with wood accents. The building sits atop a gas station, connecting to the drive-thru. More details in the article on Foodbeast, link in the title.
Fanta has created a new fragrance, ‘Scent of Fanta’, inspired by Fanta Orange

A botanical Starbucks in Japan
There is a Starbucks outlet inside the Hana Biyori greenhouse, which is part of a larger garden managed by the popular amusement park, Yomiuriland. Especially during the rainy season, when the weather is unpredictable and sudden downpours are not uncommon, this botanical Starbucks is a great place to enjoy greenery over a cup of coffee while keeping dry.
