The Prep Kitchen
Meet Eline and Lander. Both raised by the sea, now anchored in Antwerp. Together they run The Prep Kitchen, our new food partner inside STOKERS By The Brick. Eline comes from the art world, with a background in painting and a strong sense for detail. She also runs January Flower and is part of the team behind The Prep in Groenkwartier. Lander is the man behind Baroque Baroque, their event design and catering studio. After two decades abroad cooking for high-profile clients, he is now back in Belgium, simply cooking for people who appreciate good food. Including you.
The Prep Kitchen started almost by accident. They took over a space as a production kitchen for their events, planned to maybe sell a few coffees on the side… and it escalated quickly. What you get today is a place built on one simple idea: food and drinks should be made with intention.Think seasonal dishes, balanced flavors, and comfort food with character. No unnecessary complexity. Just quality ingredients, treated right, served in a space that makes you slow down for a minute. Hospitality here goes beyond the plate. It is about how you are welcomed, how things are served, and how you walk out again.
And yes, it is alcohol-free. On purpose.Not as a limitation, but as a choice. They believe a great drink can stand on its own without alcohol. So expect specialty coffee, house drinks, juices, and a non-alcoholic selection that delivers.The Prep Kitchen is about balance, clarity, and feeling good.Exactly what we all needed.
Yoroi
This week, Yoroi drops by The Brick. On Saturday April 25, you can taste their bone broth right here in the gym. Time window for all this greatness will be 10:00 - 13:00, trust us, it is worth showing up for. You may have seen the name floating around already, but what exactly is Yoroi? Yoroi is a Belgian brand that has been quietly obsessing over one thing for more than six years: making bone broth at a level most people never bother to reach. Not trendy. Not flashy. Just very, very well done at a fair price.
So what is bone broth? A slow-cooked infusion of bones and water, turned into a warm, savory drink that fits seamlessly into training, recovery, and daily routine. Functional nutrition, minus the noise. Yoroi keeps it serious. High bone-to-water ratio, slow simmered for 24 to 48 hours, so proteins, amino acids, and collagen naturally release. No dilution, no shortcuts. Sourced from Norway for quality and standards. No preservatives, no additives, no sugar, no gluten, no lactose. What does it do?High in protein to support muscle mass and bone health, without adding a full meal. Naturally rich in collagen, supporting recovery and long-term resilience when used consistently. Per 250 ml:Beef: ±38 g protein, ±28 g collagenChicken: ±20 g protein, ±12 g collagen Curious? Come try it this weekend.
