Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal

This week in and around Stuttgart with professional chef Christian Henze, who is looking forward to Swabian home cooking and good wine. The week kicks off in Waldenbuch at "Lucky am Markt." Host Lukas, nicknamed Lucky, combines Swabian classics with Spanish tapas. Since 2023, he has been serving his small specialties with heartfelt enthusiasm, including highlights such as fish dishes and creamy cheese spaetzle.

Deliciously animal-free: At "Heaven's Kitchen," host Tanja demonstrates just how enjoyable vegan fine dining can be. Since 2022, she has been serving creative, purely plant-based dishes that are more than just a matter of abstinence. Tanja is convinced that vegan cuisine should be a joy and a surprise. But can her sophisticated concept also win over die-hard meat lovers?

Welcome to Swabian Tuscany midweek! Freddy promises a top-class culinary experience at the "Weingärtle" (wine garden). His concept: modern, Mediterranean-inspired Swabian cuisine paired with fine wines. The view alone is a feast for the eyes – but can Freddy also enchant his guests' palates?

Tim at “Kaisari”: An exciting concept meets an unusual career path. From business studies to self-employment in the restaurant industry – at just 25 years old! His South Korean sushi chef ensures authentic flavors, and Tim himself is also a whiz in the kitchen. But is that enough to impress professional chef Christian Henze and beat the competition?

The final is in Stuttgart! Dennis is determined and confidently predicts victory. But he's also facing a barrage of criticism! Can his "Alte Kanzlei," a Stuttgart institution, win over the competition? Dennis, who has already triumphed with another restaurant, is focusing on classic Swabian specialties this time. The restaurant's impressive size and the chef's skill give reason for optimism. But will that be enough for the win? Can Dennis and his team turn things around and claim the title?

Final day in Hamburg at OnDao: Oksana claims to make the best sushi in Hamburg, and her goal is high – to become the best restaurateur! Can she convince professional chef Robin? Her team of cooks is firmly behind her, and her repertoire is impressive. Since Oksana hasn't exactly held back with her opinions among the competition, her fellow contestants have high expectations of her. Can she live up to them?
