31/01/2022 - Happy New Year of the Tiger! 虎年快樂！
As Studio Chen describes, its the year of the Tiger -- caught in a tropical storm but still running through the forest, waiting for the rain to pass.
The tropical storm is the after-effects of Covid. Indeed, life might be "back to normal" for politicians, but the restaurant industry is deep in recovery mode. Covid-related sickness are in abundance, and no one is completely immune to its effects.
But the rain clouds do seem to be passing. We have renewed both leases at Way Down South and Gressholmen for an extended 5 years - meaning we continue to make our mark for the next 10 years.
We have also received an abundance of great press recently - from Vaquera Verde being named as Oslo's best taco -- to TIME Magazine calling La Mayor "One of the Worlds Best". Even more recently, the Global Food & Drink editor of TimeOut listed La Mayor as one of the Best 23 New Restaurants to open in the world!
Lastly, we have received a grant from the city to continue investing and developing our wonderful team. Several in the team will be pursuing their WSET Wine & Spirits education this year, and we have lined up some BBQ + Mexican cuisine study trips. Our goal is to continue pushing the envelope in the Oslo food scene, despite all (Corona) odds.
Here´s to 2022!
