TV chef Horst Lichter enjoys Bamberg specialties at Schlenkerla!
Horst Lichter, the popular presenter and television chef, recently caused a stir in Bamberg when he visited the traditional “Schlenkerla” on June 5, 2025. The 63-year-old, known from the ZDF junk show “Bares für Rares”, sat down in the restaurant's cozy beer garden and ordered a delicious meal. The menu included a “crispy Schäuferla” and a refreshing salad with chicken. Presented like this Mercury the TV star's enjoyable flying visit.
The enthusiasm was also shared on the “Schlenkerla” Facebook page, where the restaurant proudly announced that Lichter and his companion enjoyed it “excellently”. A waiter captured the moment for eternity and took a souvenir photo with the TV star. This strengthens the good reputation of the restaurant, which is known for its warm hospitality.
Culinary highlights in Schlenkerla
What was particularly interesting about Lichter's visit was not only the excellent food, but also the attention to the house's well-known smoked beer. Matthias Trum, the head of the brewery, expressed regret at not having met Lichter in person. While it remains unclear whether the guest tried the traditional Aecht Schlenkerla smoked beer, Lichter and his companions only ordered a “low-alcohol” light beer because of their motorcycle tour. Trum emphasized that smoked beer is only produced by two breweries worldwide using a traditional recipe.
The “Schlenkerla” has not only made a name for itself in culinary terms, but also landed in the top 10 breweries for 2025. A colleague from the brewery with the star in a photo embodied the team’s joy at Lichter’s tasty choice. Her excitement illustrates what a great honor it is to be praised by such a respected chef In Franconia reported.
A look into German cuisine
Horst Lichter's visit also throws an interesting look at the culinary reality of German cuisine. In recent years, this has changed from an unattractive image to a modern and diverse one. The book “German Cuisine Rediscovered” by Matthias F. Mangold shows that our traditional cuisine has more to offer than just classics like roast pork or roux. Special emphasis is placed on fresh, regional and seasonal products, and readers gain an insight into the country's vibrant gastronomy with numerous recipes and picture-by-picture instructions. The cuisine has evolved and today presents creative combinations of traditional and exotic flavors, which puts the emphasis on enjoyment at the expense of ready-made products. This is discussed so impressively in the first pages of the book, which you can purchase for 24.99 euros News.de informed.
