Dok 19, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Dok 19 - "We're always a little sceptical of places that ignore the unwritten rule prohibiting different cuisines from being prepared in the same kitchen, so it was with a leery tongue that we approached the newest establishment to join the fray on Petkovškovo Nabrežje - as burritos, pizzas, pastas, steaks and a full English breakfast all feature prominently on the menu. Lucky for us our scepticism proved to be unfounded yet again. Although nothing we've tried has really impressed us, neither has it disappointed, add in good service and a great location and you have a winner." - by InYourPocket

Jugoslav Petković - born and raised in Jesenice, father fotball player, brother football player and he was also dragged into it for a while, lost Jesenice accent and weird words such as "masa" for pencil already in high school, Soros's Open Society grant took him to Lockport, Lafourche Parish, Lousiana on a 6 month exchange, as a European he was instantly drafted to soccer team only to be reserve goalkeeper, nevertheless Lousiana experience marked him for life in the most positive of senses, he started with mIRC scripting in his early years, advanced through HTML, JS, Perl, PHP, co-founded Mimovrste and Domenca (now D-Labs), investor in Flaviar, taking a serious approach to the whole business angel matter, sees spoils of life (such as BMW convertible) as a way to promote entrepreneurship, due to frequent visits to recently closed Pungaršek/Mangart restaurant, he became friends with chef Dušan who now returned back to Germany, together they've recently visited Ikarus restaurant in Hangar 7 in Salzburg (Need I stress it's a recommended experience?), traveller and a foodie will one day grow his local version of Masdar city to be too big to ignore. Sooner, way better than later.
