Nely is the more “normal” foodie, which means she loves fantastic quality and tasty food,
which could be very simple and humble, but always incredibly tasty and great value for money.
Which is not a bad thing when you think about it!
Johan is the “extreme” food freak who sometimes has an unfortunate tendency to brag about all the
Michelin star restaurants he has under his belt. But he also very much appreciates simple,
good quality and tasty food, no matter if it’s a lunch restaurant in the mountains (“Venta”), or the local tapas bar.
