Back from the past: Bocuses cuisine rapide (2009)
A few years ago we noted that the Bocuse restaurant group also wanted to create a modern version of a fastfood restaurant. The video expresses perfecly what they categorize as fastfood.

‘De Culinaire Werkplaats’ is an eating concepts restaurant that among other specialties is particularly known for its fruit and vegetable paper. Founded by textile designer Marjolein Wintjes and chef Eric Meuring, ‘ De Culinaire Werkplaats’ focuses on a blend of food, design and art.
A wide range of fruit and vegetable paper is homemade and used both in their dishes and for conceptual art work. Each meal at the restaurant highlights one of the flavored papers during its five courses.
Wintjes and Meuring have also used the paper in other projects, promoting the idea of sustainable fashion by creating clothing and accessories with the edible paper.
The Press Art lemon squeezer makes it easier to press the juice out of one lemon part. Apart from more juice it makes it easier to dose. The Press Art can be customized with a (company) logo.
A Japanese designer (Terada Naoki) has designed a coaster set that creates a story around your glass. There are three different coasters that express various environments, namely the city (red), a grassy plain (green) and water (blue). By clever folding, the coasters can be combined to create your own scenery.
Sex sells, even in the recession. This so-called ‘breastaurants’ are very populair in the United States and it even seems to be one of the fastest-growing restaurant categories. These are restaurants that features scantily-clad women as waitresses.
Repudo starts a digital treasure hunt for backstage passes and tracks at Pinkpop festival (the Netherlands). Together with Sony they place digital messages across the festival terrain that are only readable on the spot. The app for iPhone and Android combines GPS with a game element. Next to a variety of (sponsored) campaigns it’s also possible for users to leave messages for each other at any location. The platform is not mainstream yet but has potential for restaurants, hotels and other companies that want to introduce promotions with a game element.
At Hotel de Nymph in Brielle (the Netherlands), one could reserve a table for their “heavenly” 3-cours dinner between the first and fith of June (the days around Ascension day), and win a real “Ascension” in an hot air balloon for 2 persons.
If home cooking fails, the pizza restaurant at the corner starts to get boring and you rather have fresh healthy food delivered, then it’s time for Gobble. This website shows all local restaurants and provides a healthy collection of neighbourhood cooks. A meal always costs ten dollars.
The BabyNes made by Nestlé is a cup system for baby milk. Within a minute it produces a well temperatured bottle of nutritional milk. No more problems with dosing milkpowder and water. The cups won’t fit in any coffecup system, so you have to buy a new machine. An idea for restaurants next to highways?
