Bengaluru: On Thursday, guests at the Ritz-Carlton were in for a culinary treat. They had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and interact with Thomas and Mathias whose restaurant Sühring, which doubles up as the chefs' home in Bangkok holds two Michelin stars and is currently ranked No. 7 in Asia's 50 Best Restaurant list, regularly featuring on lists of the world’s best restaurants

Their visit commenced with a special culinary meet, where Masters of Marriott Bonvoy and Culinary Culture played host to leading chefs and literary food enthusiasts of the city. In conversation with Vir Sanghvi, India’s top food authority, the chefs touched upon their journey of elevating their family recipes to the level of haute cuisine and changing perceptions of German cuisine globally.

While in India, the chefs will be cooking gastronomic dishes inspired by their home country at two exclusively hosted dinners at the Ritz Carlton Bangalore on August 5th and 6th which sold out in less than 24 hours.

 Commenting on their Bengaluru sojourn, chefs Mathias and Thomas Sühring said, “We are thrilled to come back to India after four years with our team from our restaurant in Thailand. It's our first time visiting a beautiful city. We will be re-creating our signature dishes inspired by our childhood memories and family recipes and give guests a taste of our modern German cuisine. We have wonderful memories of India and are looking forward to making new memories on this visit."

"I have known the Sühring twins for almost 12 years and have seen them grow from strength to strength through different stages of their career. Today, their eponymous restaurant has 2 Michelin stars and regularly features on the prestigious 'World's 50 Best Restaurants' list. At Culinary Culture our mission is to bring the world's best to India and we are thrilled to have them with us in India once again,” said Raaj Sanghvi, CEO, Culinary Culture who hosted the event.

The event had the city’s top chefs and food connoisseurs engaged and enthralled for the entire 45-minute session. The audience included the likes of Shubra Aiyappa, Anitha Kholay, Divya Prabharkar, Vishal Shetty and other top names in the F&B industry.

Chefs Thomas and Mathias Sühring will recreate their culinary masterpieces inspired by their childhood memories and treasured family recipes. The thirteen[1]course degustation menu reflects the chefs’ philosophy of quality, seasonality, and simplicity. While this exclusive menu is under wraps, for now, one can expect Sühring favourites like –Rainbow Trout smoked with Applewood, Spätzle-soft noodles with Black Truffles, and 10-day aged duck with hazelnut and curry 36 (an ode to Berlin’s famous street food Currywurst)
