Annesofie & Thomas first met in Aarhus at Restaurant René. As Annesofie got a job at a restaurant “Die Ente vom Lehel..” in Germany, Thomas was convinced that he was not going with her.
But the ways of love are past understanding, and suddenly Thomas found himself as head of the fishing party, in the very place where he had sworn he would never go.
Since then the duck has followed Annesofie and Thomas as a personal symbol of love, quality, and all good feelings.
The beginning of that which is now a large collection of ducks of all shapes and sizes, started with Restaurant Gråanden in Frederikshavn. When we in the year 2000 – having recently been honoured with the title as “Chef of 2000” - took over Munkebo Kro, which did not have a logo or a symbol as such, we happily chose to call it: “Anden” which in English would be “The Duck”.
