Enjoy reading!<\/strong><\/p>\n At Fault<\/a>, an elevated pickleball and eatertainment facility, will open its first location in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in Farmers Branch spring 2024. Back in July we also wrote about pickleball, which is a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis. It is a rapidly growing sport in America and many pickleball courts are also being built near hotels, especially since they are a lot smaller. Because of this article, we found out that the national championships pickleball<\/a> is held in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n Since September 25th<\/sup> BurgerFi<\/a>, owned by BurgerFi International, Inc. is going to treat their younger audience with a special gift. For the upcoming future, every Monday, when ordering an adult meal, their \u2018Kids Eat Free\u2019 program will be implied. One free kids meal will be included for all kids under the age of 12, at participating BurgerFi locations, exclusively for dine-in guests. With the reason that meal planning can become quite hard with kids going back to school. More details in the press release, link in the title.<\/p>\n Back in 2016 we wrote about \u2018Ube\u2019 in the article ‘Ube the still unknown sweet tuber from the Philippines<\/a>‘ but we haven\u2019t spotted it yet in the Netherlands. Recently, a colleague read about purple jam made with ube in an article about a new restaurant in Honolulu on Eater (link in title). Ube is a purple tuber that originated in the Philippines. It is now also popular in Central and North America, West Africa and Southeast Asia. In North America, it is only available dried, as an extract or frozen. Perhaps a nice product to start working with here in the Netherlands? We have already come across it processed in ice cream and doughnuts, among other things.<\/p>\n The BoTree hotel<\/a>, a new luxury hotel in London has opened its doors to guests on September 15. The five-star hotel\u2019s design is an ode to the essence of Marylebone life, offering guests a unique fusion of luxury and neighborhood charm. Located where Marylebone, Mayfair and Soho meet, The BoTree captures the village- like atmosphere of Marylebone, the chic of Mayfair and the originality of Soho. The \u201cLife on the Lane\u201d is brought into the hotel, thanks to the thoughtful design by Concrete<\/a>, the Amsterdam-based multidisciplinary design firm. They worked with The BoTree\u2019s team to design the interior for the hotel, including The BoTree Bar, the lobby, the 199-rooms and 30 Suites. Check out their website, link in the title.<\/p>\n Once again, visitors to a Shell station can enjoy their culinary delights through a collaboration with one of the best-known and most successful TV chefs Herman den Blijker<\/a> in the Netherlands. The chef developed two French dishes, a \u2018flaguette steak tartare\u2019 and \u2018brioche saumon fum\u00e9\u2019, for Shell. Earlier this year, there were successful collaborations between Shell and chef Soenil Bahadoer<\/a> (**) and BBQ chef Ralph de Kok. Shell is distinguishing itself with these culinary specials at its stations, making high-quality products available for visitors. The specials will be available from Wednesday October 4th<\/sup> \u00a0until Tuesday January 9th<\/sup> at all Shell stations with a bakery in the Netherlands, check out the locations in the link in the title.
