After completing my training at the Ringhotel Eggert in Münster and my first position as chef de partie at the Wielandstuben in Hamm, I quickly found myself in Düsseldorf. I have remained loyal to the city ever since, except for a brief stint at the 3-star restaurant Vendôme just outside Cologne. After numerous positions as sous chef in Michelin-starred restaurants (including Victorian, Monkeys, and Nagaya), the next step followed—as head chef, I led Agata’s Restaurant to its first Michelin star. In 2020, I decided to take a creative break to make my dream of owning my own restaurant a reality. Over the years, I have developed my own style and now want to inspire you with this mix of upscale European cuisine and the culinary delights of Korea at Jae.
