Rotterdam is about to welcome a new culinary highlight, because on November 22, 2023, Jandino Asporaat will open his long-awaited FC Kip restaurant in the plinth of Forum Rotterdam, located around the corner from the Coolsingel, next to Bagels & Beans. This announcement comes after years of speculation and planning, with the opening initially scheduled for April 2019 but postponed due to various circumstances, including the coronavirus.

FC Kip: From Fiction to Reality

After eight years of enjoying FC Kip on the small screen, Jandino thought it was time to bring the fictional eatery to real life. "The young people discovered FC Kip again, and for the older generation it was pure nostalgia. Then I thought to myself: hey, there is so much demand for a real FC Kip, we should actually start with it," Jandino said enthusiastically. p>

An Experience for All Generations

The restaurant promises to be an experience where both young and old will feel at home. Jandino emphasizes that the treatment in the real FC Kip restaurant will not have the same rudeness as in the sketches. "No one is going to get hit with a pan. We are going to reinvent junk food," laughs Jandino.

Diversity on the Menu

The menu will not be limited to chicken; there will also be options for vegetarians and halal food, a decision that has drawn praise from several groups. It is striking that FC Kip leaves the traditional fast food route by not using a freezer. All dishes are prepared with fresh products, which is in line with Jandino's belief in constantly surprising the public.

Rotterdam: FC Kip's Starting Point

Rotterdam is the chosen city for the first branch of FC Kip, which is no surprise given Jandino's strong ties with the city. The comedian considers Rotterdam as the starting point for his career, and it makes sense for him to open the first FC Kip restaurant here. He invites everyone to the opening, emphasizing that the red carpet is there for the public, that for him are the real stars.

The Beginning of a New Dream

With the official opening on November 22, 2023, FC Kip promises to become a place where humor and delicious food come together. Jandino Asporaat sees this step as the beginning of a new dream, and Rotterdam can prepare for a tasty adventure in the world of FC Kip.
