We really enjoyed our dinner at Auberge Saint-Gabriel in Montréal, and all the show elements they use were an inspiration for Horecatrends. For example the bread is served, delicious warm, with a bow around it! It’s served on a shelve with knife in it.
Auberge Saint-Gabriel in Montréal, has a lot of space which is designed in an original way by designer Bruno Braën. For example the first thing you see upon entering the restaurant is a huge spine of a whale hanging in the center of the restaurant. They also have a grass-covered expanse that becomes a picnic and play area for the young at heart, and two genuine stuffed moose joined at the neck—the antithesis of a moose trophy on the wall—serve as a lamp. At their website you’ll find more pictures.
Adam Goldberg is not a restaurant critic, nor is he involved with food professionally. He is a software engineer who has a passion to eat and share his culinary experiences. He does that by taking pictures of his meal and share those with his followers on Twitter, Facebook and his website. Most of the visited restaurants are at San Francisco, New York and Paris. And there are many more self-styled restaurant critics who are not professionally giving reviews and have a lot of followers. It’s a development we haven’t yet seen in the Netherlands. But do you have our Illucensies in Amerika?
Çurface is a new company that makes furniture out of recycled plastic cups and coffee grounds. The material they’ve come up with is a high impact polystyrene composite board that is malleable when heated. The surface of the material has the faceted look of crystal but is smooth in texture and reminiscent of chocolate, leather and stone.
Concrete Blonde is a 100-seat restaurant presided over by chef Patrick Dang who has brought the many nuances of his international experience to the stylish tables of Concrete Blonde. We loved the pictures at The Cool Hunter.
ING Direct in Italy discovered that positive testimonials from current ING customers were responsible for bringing many new customers into the bank. In order to highlight how word of mouth referrals were driving the bank’s business, Leo Burnett Milan decided to create a series of live executions featuring real customers framed against bank billboards. Thus giving potential customers on the street the opportunity to talk to ING clients firsthand. Inspiration for the restaurant or hotel business? Just put happy guests somewhere behind a table with a meal, or in a bed?
Fruit & Maple Oatmeal; McDonald’s combines warm and delicious 100% natural whole-grain oats with brown sugar and a touch of cream and put in diced fresh apples, dried cranberries and two kinds of raisins.
Parmesan cheese shaped in a pencil with pesto, chili and truffles filling. The cheese can be sprinkled over the food with the included sharpner. The stripes on the ‘pencil’ measure portions and even Calories. Only disadvantage: the 500 sets were sold out in two weeks.
From Tuesday the 19th of July there is a weekly dinner club at Mediamatic with products that have passed the expiration date. The organizers want to create more attention for the use and misuse of expiration dates and therefore show that it’s possible to cook with products that otherwise would be thrown away. Bring expired products after RSVP and get in for free.
