La Vie by Thomas Bühner

A VISIT TO THE SELF-PROCLAIMED CULINARY COSMOS!

At last! Culinary salvation has arrived. None other than Thomas Bühner is descending from the Asian gourmet Olympus to kiss the gastronomic no man’s land of Rhine/Ruhr awake from its Sleeping Beauty slumber. At least that is how it came across in an interview with the local press, in which Bühner described Düsseldorf and the surrounding area as a “blank spot” on the map of fine dining. A bit of end-of-the-world, a bit of mission “Michelin stars instead of roast pork” – but fine, if you choose big words, big deeds have to follow.
