Ode to Marie Antionette Keasberry-van Beekom | You walked through until you found that one restaurant.

By Youssef1 maart 2025

dear grandma keasberry

If your restaurant was still there I would love to come there and I love

food from another country I think it is cool of you that you just show your

culture and that in the Netherlands I have a question for you why the

name Djokja has it perhaps a meaning in your language?

and I am glad that you brought food from your culture to the

maybe without you we wouldn't have

restaurants in the Netherlands with this tribute I want to thank you and I am

know for sure that all your food would taste very good and

maybe I can find your cookbook somewhere and then maybe buy it

and then maybe I can buy one unfortunately I can't cook as good

and bake like you them only thing I can cook are pancakes

and you just dare to start your own restaurant you also have a

favorite dish you fought on until your had that one restaurant Djokja.
