Frank is a good friend and has been accompanying our Country Outing since the beginning. He was one of our first "kitchen stars". We look forward to him, his wit, his warmth, and of course, his great culinary expertise.

For him, Dagobertshausen is a piece of home, and our Country Outing is a heartfelt affair. "Food should make you happy" is his credo, which couldn't be more accurate. And we are sure he will make us and especially you, dear guests, happy this year with his refined culinary arts and soul.

Star chef, TV entertainer, and host Alexander Herrmann is back on our stage - with his unique combination of Franconian gourmet cuisine, charm, and passion. Two Michelin stars, a smile that captivates - and a culinary experience that remains.

The Duc Ngo is one of the influential figures in modern gastronomy. His cuisine combines street food, fine dining, and international influences into a cosmopolitan, precise signature. He understands cooking as a dialogue between origin and present, where personality, attitude, and taste come together.

For the second time with us: TV chef Mike Süsser. With lots of charm, international experience, and creative ideas, he brings the flavors of the world to the plate. We look forward to his inspiring passion for enjoyment.

He is a revolutionary, rebel, rock chef, and stands for better cuisine. He is one of the "wild ones" of haute cuisine and even makes "fast food healthy". An innovative kitchen eccentric and likeable provocateur with a big heart.

Pub child, youngest star chef, and a jack-of-all-trades in culinary arts. He is not about prizes, awards, or stars, he is about one of the most beautiful things in the world: cooking and enjoying together. And we are sure you will enjoy his cuisine at our Country Outing.

In 2025, we welcomed Haya Molcho, a pioneer of modern Levantine cuisine, to our Country Outing family. Her vibrant, cosmopolitan cuisine tells stories and connects flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean with influences from around the world.

Otto Gourmet is the name of his company and stands for pure meat enjoyment. So juicy and so tender is his prime quality that only a fork is needed to portion the beef. Look forward to the highest enjoyment, personally created by the "ambassador" of the new meat trend.

Saskia and Ralf Bos, kings of German gourmet food, set trends in food and drink, track down culinary desires worldwide, discover the unknown, and convert all old-fashioned thinking restaurateurs. Of course, BOS FOOD is a must at every Country Outing. And so we look forward to the culinary souvenirs from Saskia Bos.
