History FEBO was opened as Maison FEBO by Johan de Borst (1919-2008), named after Ferdinand Bolstraat, and by 1960 it had grown into an automat restaurant, where homemade krokets and frikandellen were sold. When the bakery moved to Amstelveenseweg, the name FEBO was kept. From here, new branches were opened both in Amsterdam and further afield, such as Purmerend, ...

Fast Food Restaurant
A fast-food restaurant, also known as a quick-service restaurant (QSR) within the industry, is a specific type of restaurant that serves fast-food cuisine and has minimal table service. The food served in fast-food restaurants is typically part of a " meat-sweet diet", offered from a limited menu, cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot, finished and packaged to order, and usually available for take away, though seating may be provided. Fast-food restaurants are typically part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation that provides standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply channels. The term "fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–Webster in 1951. Arguably, the first fast-food restaurants originated in the United States with White Castle in 1921. Today, American-founded fast-food chains such as McDonald's (est. 1940) and KFC (est. 1952) are multinational corporations with out ...

Quisisana
Quisisana was a German company that introduced the world's first automat restaurant in June 1895 on the grounds of the Berlin Zoological Garden, Germany. The establishment was considered a success, selling 5,400 sandwiches, 9,000 glasses of wine and cordials, and 22,000 cups of coffee on its first Sunday of business. Quisisana also manufactured automat machines and equipment, including a milk vending machine which was adapted for use in German schools.

''Automat'' is a loanword from German for automaton which was adopted from Latin ''automatus'', who originally borrowed it from the Greek ''autómatos'' (''αὐτόματος'') meaning "acting of itself". History and American expansion After the introduction of the first automat in Berlin in 1895 and a demonstration of the technology at the Brussels World Fair in 1887, the concep ...

Dutch Cuisine
Dutch cuisine ( nl, Nederlandse keuken) is formed from the cooking traditions and practices of the Netherlands. The country's cuisine is shaped by its location in the fertile North Sea river delta of the European Plain, giving rise to fishing, farming (for crops and domesticated animals), and trading over sea, its former colonial empire and the spice trade. Dutch cuisine is often seen as bland, due to a culture of frugality. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Dutch food became designed to be economical and filling rather than pleasing, with many vegetables and little meat: breakfast and lunch are typically bread with toppings like cheese, while dinner is meat and potatoes, supplemented with seasonal vegetables. The diet contains many dairy products and is relatively high in carbohydrates and fat, reflecting the dietary needs of the laborers. Without many refinements, it is best described as ''rustic'', though many holidays are celebrated with special foods. During the 2 ...

Kroket
A croquette is a deep-fried roll consisting of a thick binder combined with a filling, which is breaded and deep-fried; it is served as a side dish, a snack, or fast food worldwide. The binder is typically a thick béchamel or brown sauce, mashed potatoes, wheat flour or wheat bread. The binder may be mixed with or stuffed with a filling; this mixture is called a '' salpicon''. Typical fillings include finely chopped meat, seafood, cheese, rice, pasta, mushrooms, as well as various vegetables as well as seasonings such as herbs and spices. Sweet croquettes may use a pastry cream binder and be filled with fruit. Croquettes may also be formed in other shapes: disks, ovals, balls. Etymology The word ''croquette'' is French, derived from ''croquer'', meaning 'to crunch'. In the 18th century, it was typically spelled ''croquet''. Alan Davidson, ''Oxford Companion to Food'', 1999, ''s.v.'', p. 229 Origins A 17th-century recipe for croquettes (''croquets'') by François Mass ...

Kaassoufflé
A kaassoufflé is a Dutch snack of melted cheese inside a thin dough-based wrap which has been breaded and then deep-fried. Overview A ''kaassoufflé'' is thought to be influenced by Indonesian street food called '' gorengan'' (fritter). It is either bought ready-made frozen and deep-fried at home, or ordered at '' snackbars'' in the Netherlands, where it is one of the few vegetarian fast-food snacks available. At certain Dutch fastfood outlets, such as FEBO or Smullers, it is possible to purchase a ''kaassoufflé'' without having to order it at the counter; instead it can be had directly from an ''automatiek'', a coin-operated vending machine. ''Kaassoufflé'' is also a popular snack to be served at a ''borrel'', an informal Dutch gathering with drinks and snacks (the word ''"borrel"'' originally referred to a small glass in which distilled beverages, usually jenever, is served). Typically this snack comes in two different shapes: either as a large rectangle measuring approxima ...

Fast-food Hamburger Restaurants
Fast food is a type of mass-produced food designed for commercial resale, with a strong priority placed on speed of service. It is a commercial term, limited to food sold in a restaurant or store with frozen, preheated or precooked ingredients and served in packaging for take-out/take-away. Fast food was created as a commercial strategy to accommodate large numbers of busy commuters, travelers and wage workers. In 2018, the fast food industry was worth an estimated $570 billion globally. The fastest form of "fast food" consists of pre-cooked meals which reduce waiting periods to mere seconds. Other fast food outlets, primarily hamburger outlets such as McDonald's, use mass-produced, pre-prepared ingredients (bagged buns and condiments, frozen beef patties, vegetables which are prewashed, pre-sliced, or both; etc.) and cook the meat and french fries fresh, before assembling "to order". Fast food restaurants are traditionally distinguished by the drive-through. Outlets may b ...
