Sateburger
The most Dutch burger on the menu: a beef patty with homemade satay sauce, fried onions and pickle on a sesame bun. The thick, sweet peanut sauce is what the Netherlands puts on fries and snacks everywhere, and on a burger it works the same way, rich and a little spicy, with the crunchy onions and sour pickle cutting through. There is a chicken version too.
The story
Satay, grilled skewered meat with a peanut sauce, is a dish of Indonesia and Malaysia. It reached the Netherlands with returning colonial officials, Indo-Dutch families and post-war migrants from the former Dutch East Indies, and became a fixture of the rijsttafel and then of everyday Dutch food. The peanut sauce in particular left its skewers behind: in the Netherlands it is poured over fries, croquettes and burgers, and it is a standard sauce at every snack bar, from FEBO’s hatches to the local cafetaria.

About FEBO
Johan de Borst opened a bakery called Maison FEBO in Amsterdam in 1941, named after the street it stood on, the Ferdinand Bolstraat. By 1960 it had turned into an automatiek, a snack bar with a wall of small glass hatches: you put coins in a slot, the little door unlocks, and you take out a hot kroket, frikandel or hamburger that the kitchen has loaded from behind. The idea goes back to Berlin, where the first automat restaurant opened in 1895, but FEBO made it a Dutch institution.
About sixty shops in the Netherlands, more than twenty of them in Amsterdam.
