Here is a new fast, contactless and very hygienic delivery! As always, we will address three subjects, namely the closure of the well-known Restaurant Twist in Sherbrooke after 12 years in operation, the increasingly increased presence of robots in the kitchen and a new restaurant that promises to raise the standards of eco-responsibility. .
First, the Demers family of Sherbrooke announced on Restaurant Twist's Facebook page that their restaurant will be closing for March 28. Is it because of the pandemic? No! It was because the owners, who had been in business in the Rock Forest neighborhood for 12 years, but well known in the area for over 35 years, received an offer to buy they couldn't refuse. In fact, Fromage Victoria acquired the building in order to set up a new branch, a first in Sherbrooke. As for the regulars of the Twist, to read their comments on the Facebook page, they wish to see the Demers family again very soon in another sector of the city.
Also, the topic of robots in the kitchen or automation has come back in the news lately after an article appeared on PizzaForno, which saw sales soar in a year. We are talking about a 400% increase. PizzaForno offers a pizza oven that can be set up on the street or in a convenience store or the like and that makes a pizza in three minutes, without the intervention of a cook. This trend for automation could be on the rise as well, even after the pandemic is currently forcing dining rooms to close. This is a technological and economic dossier to follow!
Finally, let's talk about another hot topic: eco-responsibility and sustainable restoration. The Alentours restaurant, which plans to open its doors in Quebec this summer, is a project that began more than three years ago and which wants to monitor very closely the origin of food, the preservation of the environment and provide a healthy work for employees. The owner of the restaurant has so far signed 70 agreements with suppliers, whom he has visited to ensure the quality of the products but also interviewed to fully understand their values. This is truly an ambitious project, probably the best put together of all those who claim to offer local cuisine.
