Seth Godin meets our Flemish Primitives
Seth Godin, one of the most interesting marketing thinkers these days and The Flemish Primitives, who define gastronomy over and over again, met eachother at the conference organised by Flanders DC. Below you can find a recap.
The Flemish primitives: the playground of top chefs
The Flemish primitives is all what you thought it would be: a parade of top chefs applying the most crazy ideas and coming up with new techniques that seem to be fitting in sci-fi series.
Let’s be honest it’s sci-fi. Putting oysters under a 6000 bar high pressure cabin –worth several million euro- to give them a taste of champagne or (why not!) parmigiano. Captain Spock would not even...

Flemish Primitives surely made a big impression on me and my girlfriend. The "Concertgebouw" in Bruges was packed with food-professionals and more than 30 Michelin-stars where gathered on stage.
