The organic hot dog is made of biological ingredients and fits the current trends like healthy, pure and sustainable food. The organic hot dog will be served this summer by the ‘Cool green house’ (kind of a food truck without wheels) and be available on events and festivals. Maybe they can serve this organic hot dog at the new ‘healthy’ hot dog restaurant of Jamie Oliver?

The (cold) weather in the Netherlands is currently a ‘hot’ topic. The Douwe Egberts coffee café responds to that in a great way. Every week they give coffee advice based on the weather.

Nice to serve at festivals….
