16-hour days, sexism, bossy bosses: young top chefs like Agnes Karrasch can no longer take it. The documentary “She Chef” accompanied her at work. an encounter.
The tables and chairs in front of the café with the auspicious name “Summer” are wet from the rain. Dark gray clouds hang over Munich’s Untergiesing district, it’s 14 degrees. Agnes Karrasch still wants to sit outside. In the café she asks for kitchen towels and wipes the table and chairs dry before she sits down and bites into a pretzel with meat loaf. “I really miss meat loaf and especially white sausages in the Faroe Islands,” she says. “And that you can eat outside.” Summers are short on the North Atlantic islands, which are formally part of Denmark, where the cook has lived and worked since 2021. In midsummer, it’s an average of ten degrees there, but she’s also happy for her fleece jacket in Munich on this May day.
