CATERING INDUSTRY TROPHY 2005

[BIZ: Maastricht, January 3]
At Fort St. Pieter the tenth Annual Catering Trades Trophy for Maastricht and the Hill Country was awarded to Maastricht’s Patron Cuisinier, Toine Hermsen, who has played a major role in the raising of standards in Maastricht — where there are now five Michelin-starred restaurants, including Hans van Wolde’s ‘Beluga’ restaurant with its two Michelin stars (he himself being a one time graduate of Toine Hermsen). The only complaint that one can make about this important occasion - which was also the occasion for the sector’s prizes for the handicapped - was that the speakers waxed so voluble that some visitors did not have enough time to enjoy the delicious vintages provided by Cuvee Henri or Ton Miessen’s excellent cheeses.
