Couple from Hesse settled accounts with Frank Rosin: "They patronized us"

A couple from the Gießen district performed at “Rosins Restaurants”.

Today the innkeepers regret this step.

The celebrity chef broke off the shoot in an argument.

Langgöns - Verena Schütz rushes out of the kitchen.

A quiet minute between pizza, burgers and tight max. The 53-year-old from Langgöns (Giessen district) sits down at a table in the inn in the Oberkleen district, the counter behind her is well filled with guests.

The restaurateur's eyes look tired, but her words are clear and sharp.

"I regret that we took part," she says to the portal

, which reports on the performance.

The fact that the TV show escalated and that it was canceled "was planned by the creators, I think".

Then she adds: "They patronized us to provoke us."

A week ago, Schütz stood in her kitchen and watched the show »Rosins Restaurants« live on Kabel Eins on the small screen of a tablet while she worked.

Starring alongside star chef Rosin: her Oberkleener Gasthaus Schütz.

She says she could hardly concentrate on cooking.

"I burned four pizzas that evening." She was annoyed by the portrayal of her restaurant and the meeting with Rosin.

Inn from Langgöns (Giessen district) with Frank Rosin: "Before you ask: No!"

Working with Rosin during the taping of the show earlier this year was so fraught with conflict that it has now made waves after it aired and has garnered attention from quite a few tabloid media.

"I'm being portrayed as a stupid boy," Hartmut Schütz (middle) defends himself against Frank Rosin.

He then aborts his mission.

Especially the last minutes of the show, in which star chef Rosin regularly accompanies restaurant operators in their everyday life and gives them tips, are curious in this case.

Verena and her husband Hartmut Schütz receive Rosin in their kitchen.

The mood is chilly.

Rosin stretches out his fist in greeting to Hartmut Schütz.

But he doesn't move.

"The fist is clenched in the pocket," is all he says.

His attitude toward Rosin is unmistakably expressed on his black shirt.

"Before you ask," is written there.

"No!"

Cooking, as the two hours of the show showed, is something Hartmut Schütz can do fairly well.

Even when peeling potatoes and using the hand blender, he has shown himself to be overwhelmed under Rosin's guidance.

At that moment, the Oberkleener suddenly started cooking after all.

Masterly.

But only internally.

In anger.

"I'm not a hiccup," he grumbles.

“I'm Hartmut Schütz from Oberkleen.

I don't have to twist my legs under my torso."

The dispute escalates.

"You have 30 years of professional experience, but no talent for the job," accuses Rosin Schütz.

The man from Oberkleen supports his wife far too little in the kitchen and only stands behind the counter.

"Total ignorance," Rosin complains, shaking her head.

"I'm being portrayed as a stupid boy," Oberkleener protests.

"No," Rosin says.

"You make yourself look like a stupid boy," he says, and gives up the mission.

It's a moment that the series doesn't actually provide for.

"I'm at my wits end," says Rosin.

Tears flow with Verena Schütz.

Without resistance

They didn't try to prevent the show from being broadcast, explains Verena Schütz.

"Then we might have been charged for the renovation and painting."

The show, which was followed by around 800,000 viewers, was a week ago.

Verena Schütz explains that there is a little more going on in the restaurant than before.

Several new guests would have visited her.

Anyone who stops by here, orders a Strammen Max and takes a seat quickly realizes that the Gasthaus Schütz is really not a restaurant.

It's a pub.

Quaint, with edgy guys behind and in front of the counter.

Rosin put it aptly at the beginning of his show.

»Own.

But nice."

Langgöns (Giessen district): Hope for more guests through "Rosis Restaurants"

Verena Schütz reports that they only really started preparing warm dishes during the pandemic.

"To keep us afloat, I dug out pizza, pasta and burgers." This is another reason why her husband has so little experience in the kitchen.

That was not addressed in the program, "although we have mentioned it several times".

So the question arises as to why the couple applied for the show at all.

"We hoped that this would attract more guests here," says Verena Schütz.

The restaurant has tradition, it is more than 200 years old, but fewer and fewer guests come there.

In the show, Schütz once reported that sales were sometimes less than 20 euros “on really bad days”.

The interior design caused astonished murmurs at Rosin.

"Preserve it - and make a museum out of it," he said in view of the ancient wooden furniture, while yellowed walls, burn holes in the upholstery and the fact that the Schütz couple used part of the restaurant as a private living room put Rosin off.

As part of the TV show, the house has been renovated, the walls and ceiling have been painted.

"Rosin-Grey," says Verena Schütz dryly.

The inn no longer serves as a living room.

"We have to take it upon ourselves that we neglected the facility for many years," admits Verena Schütz.

"Because we live here, we no longer really saw the flaws." Meanwhile, she supports her husband's decision to downright reject Rosin in the end.

"Like a schoolboy" her husband was presented.

Also had other experiences

The visit to Langgöns was not Frank Rosin's first shoot in the Gießen area.

Eight years ago he made the restaurant "Seeblick" in Hungen fit for his show "Rosins Restaurants" - with success.

Schlager sounds from a loudspeaker.

Four men and a woman are sitting at the counter, a small dog is scurrying between the legs of the bar stool.

"If my husband had fiddled with me more than with his car, I wouldn't have left him," says the woman.

Shortly thereafter, the guests talk about acupuncture.

He has completed ten sessions, says one.

"It didn't do anything for me." These are conversations and sentences that just happen in pubs.

It quickly becomes clear that two irreconcilable worlds collided here with Rosin's visit.

"Yes, yes," mumbles one guest before drinking from his beer glass.

"That's how it is." (Stefan Schaal)
