Tesla GigaBier

Seen on – where else – Twitter: Tesla GigaBier. The bottle is designed to resemble the shape of the Cybertruck while honoring the 500-year tradition of brewing beer according to the German Reinheitsgebot. The limited edition pilsner beer is brewed in Berlin. Check out their website for more information, link in the title.

Culinary experience | Backstage at De Librije (***)

A unique behind-the-scenes look. In a private dining setting, your party becomes a part of De Librije. The chefs prepare their dishes right before your eyes, and you can even actively participate in making a dish. It’s a true culinary experience! We happened to have recently dined at De Librije and saw the space where you can enjoy the backstage experience. We highly recommend it!

Limited edition burgers at THE BUTCHER

High-end burger bar THE BUTCHER recently announced the introduction of their extra special limited edition burgers.

McDonald’s location entirely made out of glass

McDonald’s has nearly 40,000 locations around the world, but some stand out for their unique design. One such location is in Batumi, Georgia, on the coast of the Black Sea. Constructed in 2013, the location features a modern look with a reflective glass exterior, glass stairwells, and minimal black and white decor with wood accents. The building sits atop a gas station, connecting to the drive-thru. More details in the article on Foodbeast, link in the title.

A botanical Starbucks in Japan

There is a Starbucks outlet inside the Hana Biyori greenhouse, which is part of a larger garden managed by the popular amusement park, Yomiuriland.
