SC - Kitchen Authorization

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    Last night on one of the travelogues about Amsterdam, they showed a
restaurant & kitchen where all the dishes are made and served by children
under the age of 12. I think it was called the Kinderkoochen. The kids
looked serious about what they were doing, too.
