Frank Fol, founder We're Smart World: "In these challenging times for the hospitality industry, I am happy to bring a positive message: a growing number of chefs are putting more and more vegetables on the menu. They do so with such impressive mastery that you would almost forget that fish and meat exist. The We're Smart® World team has worked hard to visit as many restaurants as possible that work according to the Think Vegetables! Think Fruit! philosophy. No fewer than 1,000 restaurants, spread across 46 countries, have been included in this year's vegetable guide. And a number of food projects are receiving a radish leaf for the very first time, the new category alongside the coveted radishes. We are also very proud that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is this year’s host country for the award ceremony.​​​​"
