We hoped that perhaps the overwhelming avocado obsession, the food trend that creeps in at every corner and refuses to budge from our brunch menus, might die in 2016.
But clearly that’s not the case.
While avocado bars and cafes have been popping up around New York for a while, they haven’t really made it over to the UK – other than one entirely avocado brunch popup.
But the power of the avocado is creeping closer.
Amsterdam is getting a snazzy all-avocado café called The Avocado Show.
Created by foodie friends Julien Zaal, Ron Simpson, and Jaimie van Heije, The Avocado Show will be a restaurant serving up all things avocado, from avocado bun burgers (which are nonsense, but they look nice on Instagram) to avocado chocolate smoothies.
‘The possibilities are endless,’ the founders told Algemeen Dagblad. ‘Our only rule is that the dishes need to contain the green super fruit in one way or another.’
It’s not clear exactly when the restaurant will be open, but we do know it’ll be in early 2017, that it’ll be in The Pijp, and it’ll serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night snacks.
If all goes well, brace yourselves for something similar in the UK. The avocado craze isn’t going anywhere just yet.
Food of the Gods!
I have 7 in the kitchen right now.
BTW, if you don’t like them, ask yourself where yours are being grown. Florida avocados and inedible ... think skin, lighter in color, sometimes huge but watery and unpleasant.
Only California avocados are good ... and Mexico. preferably HASS variety.
Meant to say: avoid avocados grown in Florida. They do not grown the very good varieties.
Covered with sea salt flakes and splashed with Sriracha.
The SEVENTIES RETURN!! With Vengeance!
because ‘avocado’....when pronounced sounds a whole lot like ‘abogado’ , which,in Spanish means ‘lawyer’
Now THAT would be a restaurant to avoid.

Now I don’t know about that. Boiled, steamed or fricasseed they might not be too bad. Certainly have way too many of them and it would be a good way to thin the herd.
Food of the Gods. How ridiculous. Bland stuff that you have to mix a half dozen ingredients into to make it edible.
I always love how outraged avocado fans get when someone dares to slam that dull little fruit. Next, you’ll be telling me kiwi is brilliant.
Greasy, slimy without any flavor. But somehow it has gotten to be this trendy, political correct fruit that sends its fans into a temper tantrum if you don’t laud it. Go figure.
no, no, Hass are horrible and watery and probably poisonous and the Right Coast crowd should leave them all for us...
So you live in Florida.
“Boiled egg/avocado sandwich.”
Add bacon to that sammich and invite me over!!
