Seriously heavenly
Rudie Can’t Fail burger, The Beef Chief in Amsterdam

When I heard that The Beef Chief in Amsterdam-Noord was partially reopening and could be ordered again through the delivery apps, I was just as happy as when Wesley Sneijder scored the 2–1 against Brazil with his head in 2010. And I was even happier when I heard there was a new burger on the menu: Rudie Can’t Fail. And maybe I’m not the most objective reviewer when it comes to burgers from The Beef Chief, but it really is heavenly. The fried jerk chicken (Jamaican spices, insanely delicious) is so tender that the police should be called. On top of that, there’s fried banana—yes, really—which is lovely and soft and pairs exceptionally well with the chicken. I didn’t see that coming. Maybe it’s also because of the excellent jerk ketchup, which leans more toward an umami flavor and adds an excellent nuance to the sauce. Add some coleslaw and pickles, and you have the perfect burger with a perfectly baked bun. Did I already mention that The Beef Chief is perfect? Get ordering! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seriously heavenly
Kimchi-pork dumplings, Bibigo

In times of crisis, we have to help each other, which is why I’m willing to share the tip of the day: get Bibigo’s kimchi-pork dumplings, and believe me, you’ll never want any other dumplings in your home again. Really handy when you’re self-isolating, simply hungry, and have to choose between raisins and dumplings. Well, Daddy knows what he’d choose. I got these dumplings at Shilla, near Gelderlandplein in Amsterdam. Ideal if you live nearby, because you can put everything aside now and get to this Asian supermarket as quickly as possible. Why are they so delicious? Because the kimchi flavor is so good. Lovely and spicy, that fermented cabbage, combined with wonderfully tender pork. It’s simply the ideal snack to eat before, after, or even during dinner. If you don’t live in Amsterdam, I recommend doing the following: 1. Go to Google.nl. 2. Search for: kimchi-pork dumplings Bibigo + *your city*. 3. Order or pick them up at your favorite toko. Thank me later. Have a great weekend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food for the trash

Pizza Calzone, Italiamo from Lidl

It’s important not to make the wrong choices in times like these. Especially when it comes to food, because you can no longer sit down somewhere for a nice meal, which is a shame, of course. But what can you eat at home, you might ask? That’s why I’m issuing a warning: whatever you do, don’t get this Italiamo pizza calzone I bought at Lidl. It offers just as much emptiness as an average episode of Love is Blind. Just look at that pizza—is that exciting at all? I find having my non-existent beard shaved by a toddler more exciting, to be honest. The product promises mozzarella and tomato sauce, but they provide about as much flavor as a drop of cola in a glass of water, followed by someone telling you that you’ve had cola. No, this is absolutely terrible. Keep this pizza 1.5 meters away, please. ⭐️
