Waiters' Derby 2013

BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 04: Cooks run with frying pans during the Waiters' Derby (Kellner Derby in German) on August 4, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. At the annual event, brought back into existence in 2011 on the 125th anniversary of the Kurfuerstendamm (known locally as the Ku'damm), a main shopping thoroughfare, waiters, porters, cooks and bartenders run a 400-meter track while performing their regular occupational duties. The event was reinstated after a hiatus since the 1950s, when it was created to bring a sense of normal life back to Berlin after World War II under the Allies, a period in which gastronomical interest in the isolated Western part of the city suffered.
