"Feel Good Food"

In 2015, Mo and Eileen laid the foundations for a gastronomic concept that made high cuisine affordable for the general public with the opening of Bad Ape in Cologne. Just one year later, their innovative approach earned them the Gastro Founder Award for the most outstanding snack concept in Germany.

A notable milestone in their career was their participation in the 2019 Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium, where they were the first German caterers to appear at the "Tastes of the World". In the same year, their modern snack concept was recognised with a Gault-Millau chef's hat, underlining the quality and creativity of their cuisine.

From a small shop in Cologne, their business quickly grew into a catering service provider with both national and international engagements. Their repertoire ranges from street food from a customised food truck to sophisticated high-end private cooking. Since November 2022, they have also had a stationary presence in the Belgian Quarter, offering a selection of their unique creations at Lütticher Str. 6.
