RC Cola is back to Lebanon after it disappeared many years. They are having a huge billboard campaign showing 2 hands, one smashing a Pepsi can, the other smashing a Coca-Cola can.

Since 1905, the refreshing taste of Royal Crown products has been delighting cola drinkers. They are proud of their rich history and its compelling American success story.
Today, that story has grown into an international one as Royal Crown Cola International products are enjoyed by soft drink fans around the world.

In 2001, Royal Crown Company Inc. sold Royal Crown Cola International to Cott Corporation, which encompassed all RC branded business outside the United States.

Royal Crown Cola International is a division of Cott Beverages Inc., which is a subsidiary of Cott Corporation.

Cott Corporation is one of the world’s largest non-alcoholic beverage companies and the world’s largest retailer brand soft drink provider, with business dealings in more than 60 countries around the globe.

restovincent1.jpg Our CEO was telling lots of stories about this famous restaurant in Brussels for the past few years. So we decided to go and have a cool dinner while in Brussels for the ESE. Our reservation was made for 19:00 for 11 persons and we had 3 guests coming over to join us within the 11, but they got late by train.

I was the first to arrive at 19:05 sharp, and when asked about our table, the guy looks at me and said: “you are late and you are alone”, i replied, yes we are late for 5 minutes because we were at the exhibition that closes @ 18:00 and the traffic and my colleagues are following me, they will be here in 5 minutes, but the guy was not really happy and could see it clearly.

So we had to go directly to the main course, and after waiting like 40 minutes, i got this “famous” dish while i was expecting to see something extraordinary but it was not the case at all.

I also need to mention about the bad mood and character of the waiters because we arrived few minutes late to our table and everytime we wanted to order a drink or ask for something, we were hit by that “look”.

To make the long story short, when in Brussels, never go to Restaurant Vincent because NO GOOD FOOD & NO GOOD MOOD and my humble rating for this restaurant would be A BIG ZERO, Sorry Chafic !!!

My Northern Cyprus friends told me that Burger City is Burger King, but the franchisee had to change the name to Burger City because of trademark issues with the franchisee of the Southern side. Funny issue.
