The interior of Restaurant Black Smoke is robust and industrial, fitting the Van Nelle factory location. There's plenty of seating inside, but there's also a large, inviting terrace. Guests can also choose the "Hot Seats" right by the open kitchen, where they can watch the pitmasters at work. The restaurant offers a complete experience, from the interior design and the food to the very pleasant atmosphere.

Black Smoke in Rotterdam focuses on open-fire barbecue. It occupies a unique location in the monumental Van Nelle Factory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restaurant's industrial decor is fitting for the location. Guests can sit at the "Hot Seats" right next to the open kitchen, where they can watch the pitmasters at work.
The restaurant specializes in "Hell's Kitchen"—instead of traditional cooking methods, everything is prepared over an open flame. The kitchen is equipped with American smokers, South American asado grills, Indian tandoori ovens, and Japanese hibachi grills. There are no gas knobs, only wood and coal to control the temperature. The bar is also known for its creative cocktails.

The battle rages. When smoking or grilling meat, do you use binders or no binder to make the seasoning stick? Is the binder being used to add flavor? To be clear, I've smoked meat using both methods. Binders are primarily for adhesion; while some may add a slight flavor, others are chosen to be neutral. Different binders can also bring out distinct textures, flavors, and benefits depending on the meat you're grilling or smoking.
A "binder on meat" refers to applying a liquid or sticky substance. These binders include mustard, olive oil, mayonnaise, or Worcestershire sauce, to the surface of the meat. This helps the dry rub adhere better and create a more even crust or bark. While some pitmasters swear by them, binders are not essential for making ribs, poultry, or beef. The meat's natural moisture can also help the rub stick over time.
Mustard is generally not tasted when used as a binder for foods like pork ribs or pork butts. That is because the heat of cooking neutralizes the mustard's volatile flavor compounds. Binders leave only a thin, tacky layer for a dry rub to adhere to. Blind taste tests have shown no discernible difference in flavor between food prepared with a mustard binder. The same holds for using other binders like olive oil. The same holds true using mustard as the binder on poultry or beef.
Binders or No Binder Decisions
Olive oil is a good, neutral-flavored binder for ribs.

Enough choice but don't order to much. It adds in volume ebut also the total price (but it's worth it once in a while).
