“I’m a chef, as background. And I wanted to feel comfortable on my bicycle kitchen. So, it was simple. So, (as) much of a professional kitchen as possible. So, there’s a stove, there’s fridges, there’s cupboards for plates, there’s wines, there’s room for hygiene equipment, first aid, it’s all there.”

STORYLINE:
Meals on wheels, Copenhagen style.
Pedalling through the streets of Copenhagen on his custom-built bicycle-turned-portable kitchen, chef Morten Kryger Wulff flips prawns in a frying pan, while leading guests on a culinary tour with a twist.
In a city famous for fine dining – including Michelin-starred restaurants Noma, Geranium and Alchemist – Kryger Wulff’s five-course tour may be the most unique dining experience of all.
“We have, over the last 20 years been working on this concept, bringing people on gastronomic rides, cooking for them along the way. And that is what it’s all about,” smiles Kryger Wulff.
The Danish chef, who’s worked in prestigious kitchens, including London’s Savoy, first became the “Cycling Chef” back in 2002, cooking outdoors at private events, such as garden parties, corporate functions and picnics.
The idea was born when he and friends were turfed out of a Copenhagen royal park by a park officer for illegally barbecuing.
With no other option, they placed the cast-iron grill onto his old vintage cargo bike and kept cooking.
“Right there, while I was biking, and my friend was running alongside turning the steaks, we were looking at each other. You need that, you need a bicycle kitchen,” he recalls.
Kryger Wulff now gives several “Gastronomic Rides” each year, pedalling through city streets and parks, then stopping at hidden spots to prepare and share food.
That wouldn’t be possible without his custom-built portable kitchen: an adapted cargo bike fitted with a stove, foldable work surface, fridges, cupboards, plus space for glasses, cutlery and more.
“I’m a chef, as background. And I wanted to feel comfortable on my bicycle kitchen… (as) much of a professional kitchen as possible,” he says.
“There’s a stove, there’s fridges, there’s cupboards for plates, there’s wines, there’s room for hygiene equipment, first aid, it’s all there.”
Each tour includes five courses consumed at five different city stops. The experience lasts about four and a half hours with guests cycling between three and five kilometers.
It costs 1,695 Danish kroner (approx. $265 USD) per-person. Guests bring their own bikes or rent one if needed. Rain ponchos are even provided, though not always required.
The meals are made from local, organic ingredients.
Today, the “Cycling Chef” is serving up a menu that includes a seafood course of prawns, dill cream and fried seaweed, followed by a main course of tomato tart with confit onions, wild garlic capers and steamed white fish.
