Tim Mälzer in Munich (Germany): Tim goes to the Bavarian capital Munich, where he gets a “makeover” from his opponent Hans Jörg Bachmeier at the beginning. Tim Mälzer's joy about the traditional Bavarian costume is limited and his mood gets even worse. Because an absolutely mammoth task awaits him in the black box: Rumohr sweetbreads with Albufera sauce, developed by Eckart Witzigmann himself. In the legendary restaurant “Tantris DNA”, the old place of work of Hans Jörg Bachmeier and in front of the eyes of the French chef Virginie Protat, Tim Mälzer has to prove whether he can recreate a classic by the great Eckart Witzigmann.

Aired: 3/17/2024

Tim Mälzer in Östersund (Sweden): Anton Schmaus sends Tim Mälzer to Östersund, Sweden.

This comes from a good friend of Anton Schmaus: the Swedish chef Elaine Asp, who specializes in traditional dishes from the Sami, the indigenous people of Scandinavia. Using the cookbook, Tim Mälzer is allowed to choose the dishes for the box and the challenge himself for the first time! But of course there is a catch: the cookbook is in Swedish and he has to choose his challenge based on the pictures. It remains exciting to see how satisfied he is with his own selection. He can't complain about the task.
