You probably don’t offend him when you say that he can be a sleazeball who knows how to sell things. Cihan Anadologlua former bartender and incredibly hard-working restaurateur and author, has the kebab concept, for example Hans Kebab invented. Hans Kebab became famous because of the “most expensive luxury burger,” as the tabloids wrote, that exists in all of Germany. It’s called “From Istanbul to Tokyo”, contains real Wagyu beef and costs just 35 euros. “We recommend reserving the premium kebab one day in advance for the following day,” it says on the homepage. In fact, the Wagyu kebab doesn’t sell very often, says Anadologlu with a grin, “but it’s made us known nationwide.”
Of course you can’t be mad at him if he uses the trick again on his new project. Along with Florian Kopp from nineOfive He’s now venturing into a posh pizzeria, as the Yellow Press would probably call it. The Pizza Studio opened on Herzogstrasse – where nineOFive began. It is a mix between a pizzeria and a lounge club. In addition to the pizza, there is art, wine, music and drinks. Of course, the menu includes classics such as Margherita or Quattro Formaggi. But also the publicity-grabbing “Ho Lee Shit Pizza”, topped with “Miyazaki A5 Wagyu beef from Japan, Bitto Storico cheese, celery cream, caviar, mustard greens and Thai basil”. Together, combined on one dough flatbread, it costs an impressive 79 euros. It’s likely that it won’t be a hit either. But there are the other pizzas at reasonable prices and a wine list with almost 600 items as well as champagne and cocktails.
