Hell's Kitchen, a collective of twelve leading catering establishments, including well-known names such as Grace, Zalmhuis and Sijf, has won the coveted Rotterdam Entrepreneurship Award this year. On June 6, a festive evening took place in CarPort Rotterdam, where councilor Vincent Karremans presented the prestigious award to Herman Hell, the driving force behind Hell's Kitchen. The event also saw the presentation of the New Hero Award and the Mr. K.P. van der Mandele Medal, which emphasizes innovation and corporate social responsibility.

The jury praised Hell's Kitchen and praised the company as a true host for the city of Rotterdam. The various locations of Hell's Kitchen have been carefully chosen based on the 'Local Hero' strategy, where the location and the symbiosis with the environment are of primary importance. Customers are taken on a unique experience, where the catering entrepreneur actively contributes to the vibrant life of the city and works closely with local museums and theaters.
