Podcast with Sebastian Obendorfer
"Those fresh kaffir limes, everything that was in them - I had never seen anything like it before. Before, I was like a horse with blinkers on."
Sebastian Obendorfer runs the Eisvogel restaurant at the Hotel Birkenhof in the Upper Palatinate – a culinary oasis combining wellness and fine dining. In the gourmet podcast, he talks with editor Julius Schneider about his roots in his grandparents' inn cooking, his path to top-tier gastronomy, and his decision to return to the family business. He explains why a dish has to impress three times before it's served at the Eisvogel and why he almost gave up cooking altogether.
