Lienke de Jong or maybe I should say Dear Good Morning, then a bell will ring for you. Over the past few months, you have been able to follow her journey on Instagram to a bikini fitness contest. Bulking, training, cutting, training, training, and more training. When my alarm went off, Lienke had long been done with the gym, and when I went to sleep, Lienke had already completed another training session. The results were there, as I lost count when seeing her abs. Fortunately, she ate well in between, and that's why I'm also curious about her favorite restaurant and whether she is a bit familiar with the wine list. Or is wine a no-go?

‘Copenhagen for sure! I am in love with Copenhagen. When I lived there, I visited quite a few restaurants. Oops, and then I still have to choose one from all the delicious places. I choose BioMio. A restaurant with an open kitchen, a lot of variety in food, a cozy setting, nice staff (by the way, you find that everywhere in Copenhagen) and very good food.’

‘By the window to watch the monkeys. I like to watch people and study my surroundings. I never want to sit with my back to the people, then I get restless. Sometimes that spot is better because I can't eat very neatly, and everyone sees me making the biggest blunders.’

‘Uh, no. I am such a Dutch person who just goes for the cheap house brand. It also comes because I simply don't know all those difficult names and have no clue whether they are tasty. If I see Cabernet on the menu, I choose that. And if I say this now, it’s really time for a wine tasting!’

‘Steak. Definitely something with steak. Preferably a steak salad! Oh, and as a starter, I get very happy from a few shrimp. So fish and meat, then you have a happy Lienke.’

‘Well, then I choose Ellen DeGeneres. I was a huge fan of hers when I was younger. I appreciate her openness, honesty, passion, enthusiasm, and especially her jokes. I would like to eat a delicious burger with Ellen and laugh a lot. I think after this dinner, my jaw will hurt from laughing. She can bring her wife Portia along, too. Oh, can you make this happen? Then I will be happy forever! I have a crush.’

‘Starter. I love to eat a lot. I think it's a shame to have something sweet after a delicious meal. Then the taste goes away. So I prefer two meals over a dessert. A dessert can also be good, though, but preferably a few hours later than the main course, with a cup of coffee.’

‘With producing a video, blogging for Dear Good Morning, vlogging, and my second preparation for my bikini fitness. On March 27, I have my second competition. Very exciting, but very cool to train every day and make myself even better. For that, I get up every morning at 07:00 in the gym. By the way, I am mainly known for that on Instagram. My morning enthusiasm. Because I want nothing more than to motivate people to get more out of life by becoming a morning freak.’
