FOODTALKER - Podcast über die Leidenschaft fürs Kochen und gutes Essen

Clara Hunger ist unser Gast in dieser Episode. Sie gilt als neuer Shooting Star am Herd und steht für eine Küche, die so selbstbewusst, eigenständig und überzeugend ist wie ihre Haltung und Persönlichkeit. Bundesweite Aufmerksamkeit erlangte sie im Frühjahr 2025 in der Jubiläumsstaffel von Kitchen Impossible, wo sie im Team Tulus Lotrek mit Max Strohe gegen das Team von Tim Mälzer antrat und gewann. Ein Auftritt mit Wirkung: präzise, fokussiert, souverän. Ihre Karriere begann in der Bullere bei Mälzer, führte über das vegetarische Sternerestaurant Tian in Wien, die XO Seafood Bar in Hamburg – wo sie als Küchenchefin Verantwortung übernahm – bis ins mit einem Michelin-Stern ausgezeichnete Tulus Lotrek in Berlin. Dort war sie zuletzt Sous-Chefin an der Seite von Max Strohe – und prägte mit ihrer Handschrift eine Küche, die zugleich verspielt, tiefgründig und kompromisslos produktfokussiert ist. Schon früh entdeckt Clara Hunger ihre Begeisterung für Aromen, Technik und Teamgeist. Ihre Küche ist ein Spannungsfeld aus moderner Raffinesse und klassischem Handwerk. Was sie dabei nie verliert: ihren Blick fürs Wesentliche. Sie kocht nicht für Rankings – sondern für Menschen, die echtes Essen lieben. Authentisch, selbstbewusst, mutig. Ihre Gerichte leben von Säure, Schärfe und Substanz – und sie selbst von Spontaneität, Klarheit und dem Vertrauen in das, was im Moment entsteht. In ihrem Pop-up „nullkommaeins“ auf St. Pauli bringt sie diese Philosophie auf den Punkt: Weinkarte mit Anspruch, Küche mit Haltung, Gastlichkeit ohne Chichi. Und einen Raum, der nicht glänzt – sondern wärmt. Im Gespräch mit Boris erzählt Clara, warum Pop-ups Freiheit bedeuten – und warum sie trotzdem an langfristige Verantwortung glaubt. Es geht um Küchenführung auf Augenhöhe, um Sichtbarkeit von Frauen, um den Umgang mit Allergien, um Sülze-Dumplings, Schnecken mit Algenbutter und um die Frage, wo sie selbst gerne essen geht. Und wie geht's weiter? Nach dem Pop-up will Clara durchatmen – aber nicht stillstehen. Eine eigene feste Adresse ist in Planung, ein Ort mit Struktur und Seele. Was genau, wann genau? Noch offen. Aber sicher ist: Wo auch immer Clara Hunger kocht – es wird Substanz haben.

What if the most powerful list in restaurants isn't about food—it's about influence?William Drew runs the World's 50 Best Restaurants, the ranking that can transform a chef's life overnight. But behind the glitz is a story of politics, pressure, and purpose. In this episode, we go deep on how the list really works, who gets included, and what it reveals about the evolving values of the global dining scene. We explore the rise of storytelling over technique, how post-pandemic shifts are impacting who wins, and why French cuisine is no longer the default standard. William doesn't just defend the list—he opens it up. And in doing so, he gives us a rare look into how prestige is created and what it means for the future of restaurants.

One birthday dinner at Melbourne's fanciest restaurant at age nine was all it took for Besha Rodell to get hooked on fine dining. She turned that obsession into a career, becoming a James Beard Award winning food critic for LA Weekly, The Age, and The New York Times. Besha Rodell's new memoir goes beyond restaurant reviews. It's an unflinching account of navigating a high-pressure, male-dominated world where every meal feeds deeper questions of self-worth, longing, and the drive to belong.

In this episode, I sit down with award-winning Hmong American pastry chef and restaurant owner, Diane Moua. We talk about her journey from being the eldest daughter in a traditional Hmong household to opening Diane's Place in Minneapolis, MN—a restaurant that honors her roots by serving dishes she grew up eating. Diane shares how not being surrounded by super sweet desserts growing up shaped her approach to pastry dishes, how moderation allows you to enjoy the foods you love, and how cultural food isn't what's making us unhealthy. It's the disconnection from our roots, forgetting that our Hmong elders have always eaten simply and intentionally. This is such a grounding conversation if you've ever felt pressure to water down your cultural dishes or give up the foods you love to “be healthy". Here's what we covered in this episode: --Your culture already taught you moderation. Diane reminds us that many Hmong desserts are naturally light, which helps us practice moderation before diet culture taught us to avoid sweets. --Don't water down your food to make it “healthy.” Instead of swapping out ingredients to make cultural dishes more "acceptable", learn how to portion so you can eat the real thing without feeling guilty. --You can enjoy sweets, just pick the one you actually want. If you're going to eat dessert, make it count. Diane shares how she eat one croissant or candy she truly craves and enjoys it especially being surrounded by food everyday. --Eating with your eyes matters. Presentation makes healthy eating more joyful. Whether you're at Diane's Place or at home, how your food looks on your plate can change how much you want to eat.

Welcome to the second episode of our special Power Miniseries. Our guest is Katina Connaughton of SingleThread, the celebrated restaurant and farm in Healdsburg, California, that she and her husband, Chef Kyle Connaughton, co-founded in 2016. Today, Katina is the head farmer of the 24-acre property that supplies the SingleThread restaurant, farm store, and CSA program. As Katina shares with host Kerry Diamond, she never set out to become a farmer. But she found her power, and her calling, by literally digging in the dirt. “The further I stuck my hands in the earth,” she said, “the more I felt like myself.” Katina talks about the incredible journey that she and Kyle have been on, from meeting at a punk rock concert in high school, to becoming parents, living abroad, and rethinking the fine-dining experience back in California. Katina also talks about ThroughLine, the special food and film experience that celebrates the artisans, farmers, and producers she and Kyle have partnered with over the years. Our Power miniseries is presented by Veuve Clicquot and coincides with the new Power Issue of Cherry Bombe's print magazine, out now.
