Inffeldgasse: clatter and sizzle reloaded

By Ute Wiedner - After months of rebuilding, the canteen in Inffeldgasse is now again open for business - with a radiant, brand new look and a completely newly designed culinary recipe. We tried out a test meal. The cutlery and plates are clattering again, and vegetables once more sizzle on the open hotplates, and the spicy smell of the dish of the day hangs in the air - after months of rebuilding, the Inffeldgasse canteen is once again in full swing. And it's completely different to how it was before. "Our new concept thrives on openness and freshness," explains Albert Jokesch, the Styrian head of the Austrian Canteens company Österreichische Mensen Betriebsgesellschaft GmbH). Each and every ordered dish is freshly prepared with regional products on the open hotplate in front of the customer. "You won't find any ready-made products here," explains Jokesch.
