The TV show “Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal” on Kabel Eins stops off in Upper Bavaria.
Benedikt Schuhbauer and his restaurant in Freising are also there.
Freising
– This will be exciting: The “Schuhbauers am Dom” in Freising took part in the TV series “My Local, Your Local”.
The whole thing can be seen from Monday, February 5th.
Then there's a big show on Kabel Eins at 5:55 p.m.
The team around Benedikt Schuhbauer from Kirchdorf can be seen on Thursday, February 8th: “Schweinerei aufm Hackstock”, char fillet and a wheat beer sorbet are among other things on the menu.
“We want to demonstrate our skills”
The principle of the show is clear: every week, five restaurateurs compete against each other to find the best restaurant in a city or region.
Every working day, a different restaurant owner invites you over and cooks for his colleagues while the business is running.
A starter, a main course and a dessert are served à la carte.
There are also exclusive insights into the kitchens.
The station selected the Upper Bavaria area for the week starting February 5th.
When Kabel Eins contacted him, Benedikt Schuhbauer was initially surprised - but also "motivated, ambitious and also a bit nervous," he reports in the FT interview.
But when the kitchen team also declared that they were full of enthusiasm, the matter was clear: “We want to demonstrate our skills and are taking part.” The television team arrived at the end of October and beginning of November 2023.
In addition to “Schuhbauers am Dom”, four other restaurants entered the race: from Marxheim in the Swabian district of Donau-Ries, from Mainburg, Dachau and from near Kösching.
Anyone who finds themselves in front of their TV on February 8th will get an insight into the kitchen and look over the shoulders of the professionals when Benedikt Schuhbauer cooks with his four-person kitchen team, who, in addition to the creativity of the dishes, are also responsible for the selection and quality of the products takes center stage.
Dry aged pork loin from regional Freisinger Land organic pork or a fillet of char from local fish farms, paired with fine side dishes, cleverly presented: that is the claim and has a long tradition at the Schuhbauers.
“We know where our products come from,” says Benedikt Schuhbauer.
Filming with professional chef Christian Henze
It is probably thanks to this that we were suggested by guests at the station: “The parents of a Kabel Eins employee were guests at the Schuhbauers am Dom and recommended their daughter to suggest us to the station for the series,” reports Schuhbauer, how the contact came about.
It was shot in two stages.
The shoot took place one afternoon with professional chef Christian Henze at “Schuhbauers am Dom”.
This involved visiting the location and the rehearsal dinner.
In the following week, filming took place daily at the five restaurant locations together with the five restaurateurs.
Will “Schuhbauers am Dom” be enough to win the television competition?
Benedikt Schuhbauer doesn't know that yet either.
Only on the last day of broadcast, Friday, February 9th, will the points of all restaurateurs be added together with the final decision made by television chef Christian Henze.
It will be exciting – and delicious.
