The fourth preliminary final in Hamburg
In the fourth and final pre-final of the prestigious live competition, we take you on a journey through the culinary world of professional gastronomy. We drop anchor in Hamburg’s HafenCity and have a bombastic supporting program of global trends on board. In addition to the six promising candidates who qualified for the semifinals from more than 100 applications, three world star chefs will take the stage.
Local hero Thomas Macyszyn will kick things off by presenting authentic fish and seafood cuisine from his Boathouse in Hamburg Eppendorf. The two Spanish Michelin-starred chefs Raúl Resino (Restaurante Raúl Resino*, Castellón) and Juan Carlos Padrón (El Rincon de Juan Carlos*, Tenerife) have even more sea delights in store for you and will sail with you first to the Valencian Mediterranean coast and then on to the Canary Islands of the Atlantic.
The focus of the #hafenedition is therefore dedicated to the culinary innovations and inspirations of sea cuisine and promises an exciting examination of the question of how to score on the high seas of contemporary top gastronomy: the high demands of the guest are increasingly merging with the desire for a casual and hip ambience and, in addition, the topic of sustainability is now indispensable to any successful restaurant concept.

Patissier of the year
The balancing act between trendsetting and good taste
At Patissier of the Year, world champion confectioner Bernd Siefert (Cafe Siefert, Michelstadt) will kick things off on the show stage and reveal secrets of traditional German yet innovative confectionery. From there, the journey continues east: Chef of the Year 2013, Christian Sturm- Willms (YUNICO*, Bonn), takes us on a journey into the Euro-Asian fusion cuisine of patisserie, drawing inspiration from the exceptional Valrhona chocolate. In the afternoon, Hamburg-born star patissier Andy Vorbusch (The Dolder Grand, Zurich) will take the stage and will be succeeded last by Jonathan Padrón, who will present the imaginative patisserie of El Rincón de Juan Carlos in Tenerife. Despite the diversity of their styles, the Patissier of the Year stars agree on one thing: without mastering the classic craft to perfection, modern techniques lead only to gimmickry and empty flavor constructs. The motto of the #hafenedition therefore deals with the balancing act that the contemporary patisserie is confronted with: How to lean out over the railing with new trends without falling off? Cornelius Speinle will also offer a workshop on sensory star cuisine on this sweet day, showing how to make sensory-pleasing desserts using Rama Cremefine whipped cream.
