The ‘Zwarte Cross’ is a famous festival in the East of the Netherlands which will take place from July 14 untill the 17th. “A Zwarte Cross (Black Cross) with zero anti-social incidents, I would really consider that a nice farewell gift!” That was Tante Rikie’s (Auntie Rikie’s) response when asked if she had any wishes for her 25th (and last!) year as festival director. Tante Rikie and her organization almost have a perfect score concerning  good atmosphere at the unique festival, but there are still some visitors who just do not understand the festival and the hospitality of the Achterhoek region. There is always a small group of assholes (on the 229,500 visitors) responsible for vandalism, discrimination and (sexually) violent behavior. Therefore, now a call for this minority: Sell your ticket on TicketSwap and stay home!

CRAFT, the trade association for independent breweries in the Netherlands, is making a documentary and a new contemporary beer with a group of brewers, historians and TV chef Perry de Man.

In this series, beer brewers, art and beer historians, and culinary all-rounder Perry de Man (DJ, chef, De Toko Rotterdam, Falafval, 24Kitchen) not only go in search of the taste of Rembrandt’s beer back then, but they also show how they managed to brew the beer in the painting with the taste of today.

Who doesn’t like a good snack from time to time? That goes for most people, of course, including top chefs. Behind the scenes, they have always created the most delicious simple dishes and snacks for themselves and their loved ones. A few years ago, the first chefs came to the realization that many more people would like to taste this. Like chef Gavin Kaysen (*) who already served a late night greasy spoon at the bar in his first restaurant Spoon and Stable years ago, New York’s favorite chef David Chang (**) who started his own fried chicken brand, Chef Schilo van Coevorden of restaurant Taiko (*) in the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam who in collaboration with Febo served the limited edition ‘langoustine frikandel’ or the Valuas croquettes and bitterballen of chef Eric Swaghoven which he has been selling since 2004. These chefs already set this trend back then, this article will continue after a few of these examples of “snackization” of the culinary world where we discuss the inspiration and initiatives that the corona period brought us.

Nine striking heads adorn beer bottles and pub walls. According to the beer brand Vedett, it is often the staff that makes the difference. That smile you get for free with your beer, the listening ear behind the bar and the good conversations between orders. After years of lockdowns and uncertainty, it is important to thank these indispensable people. Because they are here again. Because they exist. And because they make every day just that little bit better. Project ‘Ingelijst’ (Framed) is the name of a creative project that started last year in Utrecht and was created especially to put hospitality workers in the spotlight after the corona crisis. In collaboration with the beer brand Vedett, young illustrator Libra Telako immortalized nine people in Utrecht and now nine giants in the  hospitality industry in Rotterdam with her colourful and striking style.
