“Küche Unmöglich” im Bayerischen Wald: So verlief der Besuch bei Lucki Maurer

On Sunday evening, Vox broadcast its cooking show “Kitchen Impossible” from the Hotel Waldschlößl in Neukirchen bei Hl. Blut (District Cham) and from Kdyně (Czech Republic). Tim Mälzer’s friend „Lucki“ Maurer let his employee, Rosa Smáterova, show how it’s done.

Bohemian dumplings with beef roulades: Chef Graciela Cucchiara was supposed to master this culinary challenge on Sunday evening on the Vox show “Kitchen Impossible”. TV chef Tim Mälzer first sent his Italian opponent to the Bavarian Forest, to none other than Ludwig „Lucki“ Maurer. He welcomed the duelist to his parents’ hotel, Waldschlößl in Neukirchen bei Hl. Blut (District Cham).

After Graciela Cucchiara arrived at the train station in Bad Kötzing, adventure blossomed for her. She pulled her small blue suitcase over forest paths and corn fields before she arrived at the “Waldschlößl”. Just as she was unsuspectingly about to sip on her freshly served glass of white wine, Mauerer came around the corner with the “Kitchen Impossbile” box. This surprise was a success and the second followed promptly on top when she was asked to try the dish she was about to cook: Bohemian dumplings and beef roulades. “I’ve never made dumplings,” she stated. Can she cook it that well?

“She’s part of the family”: Rosa Smáterova on “Kitchen Impossible”

But until then she still had time to reconstruct the recipe from the plate. Because their adventure was not to continue until the next day. On the motorbike with “Lucki” Mauerer, Cucchiara was off to the Czech Republic, to Kdyně, about 20 kilometers away. There lived Rosa Smáterova, a long-time employee of the “Meat Pope”. Maurer has known her since he was ten years old. In a Facebook post he writes: “Rosa isn’t just a waitress, she’s an integral part of the family.” The Czech has been working in his parents’ hotel for 32 years, and that’s beyond retirement, it is said.

There was a lot of praise for the beef roulades

After Cucchiara had bought everything, it was time to get to the stove – and under the strict eye of Rosa Smáterova, because she wasn’t allowed to intervene or give tips. In the end, she was satisfied with the result: “She did it almost exactly like I did.” But only almost. Will the jury notice the small changes?

Friends and relatives of Smáterova came, locals who know how their traditional dish should taste. And they were not unenthusiastic: “For the fact that she cooked it for the first time, it wasn’t bad,” said one jury guest. The dumplings didn’t taste quite as good, but the roulades were all the more exciting. This is also reflected in the points. With an average of 7.1, Cucchiara started the next round at full speed. But before that, she sent Tim Mälzer to her home country. Could he shine there just as well?

“Kitchen Impossible”: The concept of the Mälzer cooking show

In “Kitchen Impossible”, Tim Mälzer duels with a different chef in each episode. The opponents each have to complete two tasks at two locations and cook dishes on the spot. A jury evaluates the result and awards points.
