The Munich star chef Jürgen Wolfsgruber on beef for 180 euros, sexual harassment in the kitchen and what it’s like when the bailiff comes by regularly.
A dinner for 200 or even 300 euros, drinks extra: One or the other guest has to swallow. A menu in a starred restaurant has its price. Many therefore believe that a golden nose is earned in no time at all – if you are a restaurant operator or a top chef. Born in Austria, Jürgen Wolfsgruber, 36, is both. He runs the Sparkling Bistro restaurant in Munich’s Maxvorstadt district and is also the head chef there. In 2020, the restaurant was awarded a star in the Michelin Guide for the first time.
