Baked Alaska

9-8-2011

Although an old-fashioned dessert Baked Alaska remains delicious and we don’t understand why it isn’t served more often! Steakhouse Harbour Sixty in Toronto serves it with all the right ingredients and at the table! At all the tables they served it while we were there, it looked like a small party!

The Rotisserie Channel by Swiss Chalet

8-8-2011

BBDO Canada has launched a campaign for Swiss Chalet in february. Swiss Chalet is known in Canada for their roasted chicken. They started a The Rotisserie channel, where one can watch rottisserie chicken 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The mere announcement created a lot of free publicity, it was broadcasted in several newsshows, they were trending topic on Twitter, etc. While we Europeans are buying fireplace CD-ROMs – in America and Canada they have a fireplace channel and of course the step to Rotisserie Channel is smaller then.

 

A great way to serve bread!

8-8-2011

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.

Great design at Auberge Saint-Gabriel

8-8-2011

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.

Pictures as restaurant reviews

5-8-2011

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?
