The Fish Story

Описание: What's happen if you order a fish at Tom’s Restaurant?
In this episode of Behind the Key’s by CAAA, chef Tom Vinke shares a story that perfectly captures his philosophy of freshness, respect for ingredients, and the courage to do things differently.
One conversation. Two chefs. A journey through ambition, mistakes, and the moments that shape a culinary path.
For Episode 1 · Series 2, we welcome two remarkable voices from the world of gastronomy:
Tom Vinke, the chef behind De Kromme Watergang, and Gijs Bruurs, Founder of Erloom Restaurant.
Together they speak openly about the chef’s journey — the inspirations, the challenges, the mistakes, and the unexpected decisions that shape a philosophy in the kitchen.
At one point in the conversation, Tom reveals a story that perfectly reflects his approach to ingredients:
when a guest orders fish from the à la carte menu… something rather unexpected happens next.
What follows is a remarkable approach to freshness and respect for the product — a way of thinking about cuisine that few restaurants would dare to attempt.
The conversation is guided by Pietro Catalano, creator of the Dineology concept and the space behind CAAA.
Behind the camera, filmmaker Eliyah Reichen captures the atmosphere of the exchange.
This episode is about more than cooking.
It’s about curiosity, resilience, and the pursuit of authenticity in gastronomy.
