An Icelandic fish market has opened up
in Closter, New Jersey. Baldur Ólafsson
and family are serving up butter-baked
arctic char and breaded haddock. The
place is named The Fish Dock, which is
weird because they could have called it
Sleep With the Fishes (Baldur… tsk tsk
tsk.)
Reykjavík city authorities have announced
plans to turn bus terminal Hlemmur
into an indoor food market (let’s face
it, it’s the only kind we’ll ever have in Ice-
land). The idea is that the market would
sell both ready-made dishes and produce.
It sounds like they want something like
Torvehallerne in Copenhagen, and food
markets in disused train/bus terminals
have proven themselves with places like
the Reading Terminal Market. The ap-
plication deadline for the Hlemmur
food market is July 6, so get cracking.
Saturday, July 4 will see two burger eat-
ing contests. First we have the Big Ka-
huna contest at diner Prikið for the fifth
year running. There contestants will need
to scarf down a double cheeseburger, a
side of fries, and a five-dollar milkshake.
The fun starts at 15:00 at Prikið and the
prize is ten Big Kahuna meals… because
ten is exactly what you’ll want after eat-
ing one. Dirty Burger & Ribs, in collabora-
tion with brotacular radio station FM97,
will host their own contest by Austurvöl-
lur. You can sign up on their Facebook
page but only ten entries will be chosen
to compete. The prize is a trip for two
to London and a dinner at Michelin star
restaurant Texture. Looks like some-
one’s trying to drink Prikið’s milkshake.
At least two new vendors were added
to Reykjavík’s burgeoning food truck
scene. In May we got “Fish & Chips
Vagninn” (vagninn = wagon) and at the
start of June we got the “Fish and Chips
Wagon.” Some people are getting the two
confused, which is just cuh-razy. One is
red and the other is blue—just don’t ask
me which one. Then there’s Lalli, who
started selling curry and chili wraps from
his Wraptruck to save up for studies at In-
stitut Paul Bocuse. Let’s hope his curry is
as heart-warming as his story.
Finally, 101 Hotel have reshaped their
kitchen and given it the inspired name of
Kitchen & Wine. By the looks of it, they
will be serving fancy casual food made
from local ingredients and with a lazy
eye on paleo-friendliness. It seems there
have been a lot of restaurants with Eng-
lish names lately. I guess it must be impor-
tant, as clearly one rarely chooses to dine
at places like Friðrik V (fourteen years
running), Austur-Indíafjelagið (twenty
years), or Grillið á Hótel Sögu (fifty years).
