09 Apr 2018 --- From September 2018, Jan Smink, the Top Chef and Ambassador of byFlow, will open his restaurant in Wolvega, the Netherlands. It will be the first place in the country with 3D-printed food on the menu, where customers can experience innovative and traditional food it in its full glory.
Smink's interest in 3D food technology is not new. As the first Ambassador of byFlow, he has been experimenting with the 3D Food Printer for almost a year – creating new recipes, giving demonstrations and supporting byFlow’s research and development. His cooperation with the company gained lots of publicity especially after Horecava 2018, where they presented together with the practical applicability of 3D Food Printing and achieved major success.

For his restaurant in Wolvega, Smink wants to focus on creating a special experience for his guests. The preparations’ process will be visible, a lot will be prepared on the spot at the table and the 3D Food Printer will have a prominent place. No wonder they make such a good team with byFlow – their mission to change the way how food is prepared and experienced seems to fit perfectly.
Smink will receive the key to the former ING building in the center of Wolvega on May 1. In mid-May, the name of the restaurant will be announced and the website will be launched. From that moment on, guests will be able to make reservations for the restaurant and experience the culinary delights that it has to offer.
