Part of the celebrations were cooking-sessions of other famous head chefs: Jonnie Boer, Ron Blauw, Lucas Rive and Marc van Gulick.[1] The restaurant was started by Ad Peijnenborg, father of present owner Roland Peijnenburg and member of the family who owned ontbijtkoek-firm Koninklijke Peijnenburg.[15][16] The transition of ownership from father to son was planned for the end of 1991.[14] Due to the unexpected death of his father, the takeover was advanced.[17]
