Osnabrueck - Germany
Thomas Buehner, a Three-Michelin starred chef, has been one of Germany’s top-ranking chefs for more than 20 years. Born in Riesenbeck in 1962, the son of a housewife and a commercial employee, he gained his first catering experience at his grand-parents’ establishment: here guests were always greeted with a slice of fresh pain gris with butter and Westphalian ham, and the clattering in the kitchen and the hubbub from the pub acted as a backdrop at bedtime, late in the evening. But all the same, young Thomas Bühner for a long time had no clear idea about what he wanted to do when he left school. Whilst his twin brother turned to carpentry, an aptitude test at the job centre provided clarity for him: he had the choice of becoming a chef, a baker or a farmer. He decided to become a chef, and even back then, announced to his parents: “So if I’m going to be a chef, then at least I want to be a good one” – and he has kept his word to this day.
