Within almost 4 weeks it\u2019s going to be a special edition of Valentine\u2019s Day, a day to celebrate love and embrace those close to you. Well it\u2019s going to be though this year to embrace those friends and loved ones, not part of your household. How does the hospitality industry deal with all the restrictions? Well the most important fact is that most restaurants give their guests the opportunity to celebrate it on Friday 12, Saturday 13 and Sunday the 14th<\/sup> of February. We found some great Valentine\u2019s Day inspiration, like classic drive-ins, with carhop service at White Castle, a TLC Valentine\u2019s Box by 2 Dutch chefs highly rated by Michelin and the Guilty Pleasures box by restaurant Hemingway in hotel De Draak (the Dragon) in Bergen op Zoom.<\/em><\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day inspiration | White Castle will become Love Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Love is still in the air at White Castle<\/a>, a fast-food hamburger chain that has been making hot and tasty Sliders as a family-owned business for almost 100 years, based in Columbus, Ohio. COVID-19 might have prevented White Castle chain from offering indoor dining the past year, but it won\u2019t stop them from providing a unique dining experience on Valentine\u2019s Day. This year, White Castle restaurants will transform into classic drive-ins, complete with carhop service, allowing customers to celebrate the holiday while remaining socially distanced. Reservations can now be made via the OpenTable website or app. Hours vary by store.<\/p>\n

Just for the day, the 20-Slider Crave Clutch will showcase a new, irresistible\u00a0 design befitting the Valentine\u2019s Day festivities. Customers with reservations will pull into a parking space, where they’ll be greeted by a White Castle team member who will take their order and deliver it to them in their cars. “COVID forced us to re-imagine our annual Valentine’s Day event,” said Jamie Richardson, a vice president at White Castle. “This creative and safe solution allows us to celebrate a tradition our customers love. We’re happy to share that once again this Valentine’s Day, White Castle will become Love Castle.” For those who can’t get a reservation or simply prefer to celebrate at home, there’s always the option of getting White Castle to go.<\/p>\n
