In search of the famous Dutch fries with mayo we stumbled upon this little kiosk after our walking…read moretour of the city ended nearby. The fries were crispy & not greasy, made fresh to order. Interesting that it is served with mayo and not ketchup (but it is offered on the menu). Ketchup must be considered more of an American condiment here in Amsterdam. Fresh, hot and perfectly salted served in a paper cone with the equivalent of 2 tablespoons of mayo...not nearly enough, but that is if you like the taste of mayo on your fries and we did. We sat on the bench nearby and enjoyed our fries in the warm sun.

Great variety of soups! Both of the soups we got were super tasty (lentil soup and Brazilian (?)…read morebean soup).

I had a plain corned beef sandwich which was so good I decided to try the pastrami. That was even better. Had that with onions, pickles, and this yummy cheese. Sandwiches are small so I wasn't too full after my second. The owner cooks the meat fresh and is very proud of his work. All of the food I saw was delicious looking. There are two tables and a little counter and some outside seating when the weather is nice. I think I'll come back tomorrow on my way out of town.

It's a 5 minute ferry (Buiksloterweg) and quick walk from Centraal Station up in Noord. When their pussy isn't open, they are a "conceptual food lab" for private and public events. Their public events are things like a street dinner, where people from the neighborhood sign up to cook together and they serve it all up at once. Last night, we had a private burger workshop and it was a blast. We started with welcome cocktails and then making the buns. We then split into smaller groups to make condiments: ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise of all varieties. The sides were made, the burger patties pressed, and they even got some black-market american cheese. When we sat to eat - everything at the table WE made from scratch that evening. Pretty impressive. The staff was awesome, super chill, and knowledgeable. They give you some guidance, but you make the decisions and are encouraged to be creative. Good or bad, one bi-product of the creativity was a black licorice ketchup. I'm keeping my eyes open for their next public event but may host my own private one at some point :)

Most concepts we design for clients are 'one time only' designs; that's our Conceptual Food. Some concepts we love so much though, that we never want them to stop.

At Pussy Galore we serve Lunch Me; a selection of 8 different salads based on organic fresh ingredients which is also delivered to companies. The bar is run by our very own coffee-roaster.

This was my place to buy bottles of water and snacks for my hotel room. I also would buy some beer here too, after picking up a pizza to go from San Marco Pizza just across the street. Nothing like a hot fresh pizza with a cold beer to wash it down. They also had some great deals on beer here too. I was able to get some cans for a euro...that is a great deal...plus the beer had like 9 percent alcohol...I call that a good deal. I was a little scared when I first walked in here but found the place nice after a few visits.
